a) Methods of social organisation
Firstly the structure within the Hare Krishna Temples is that the highest position is the Temple President then the Temple Secretary then followed by the Temple Treasurer. The temple President offers spiritual guidance in return for the Krishna Community abiding by the rules where there are only 4 different from rules from the mainstream Australian society. For admittance into the Krishna community a person must completely submit their lives to Krishna (which is also named Vishnu) and must show this to the temple President. ...
Within most Krishna communities throughout the world a Government recognised school has been developed so it can help the children that have been born into the Krishna community learn about their religion without the hassles of the mainstream society. So within the Hare Krishna community qualified teachers will be allowed to teach the children as long as the Temple President thinks this devotee is worthy to teach the children about their religion.
b) Clothing and symbols
The Hare Krishna Religion has four symbols: The Lotus Flower, The Conch Shell, a club and also a Chukra. ... These symbols can be seen in every Krishna temple in the world. ...
Another symbol in the Krishna religion is the symbol of life, which is the Cow. ... The garment that women wear is called the sari and is similar to the robes the males in the Krishna community wear but made from a different material and has patterns and different colours on them. ...
c) Religious beliefs and practices
In the Hare Krishna community the devotees follow the belief that animals are more important alive than dead they also follow the belief of reincarnation, so this would be another reason why their belief to the importance of every living creature because believing in reincarnation means that the devotees believe that how they live their life now will determine what their next form in the next life will be.
