9. Hare Krishna
Founded in the late 60s, Hare Krishna is famous for their supreme God “Krishna” who was a novel character from the book Mahabharata. They were popular because of their chanting practice that meant “the energy of the Lord.”The cult preached a Spartan way of life with little sleep, and they even suffered for their beliefs, because they thought that they will reach a spiritual haven after reincarnating. Not all of the members of this organization suffered; the ones in the higher positions lived a comfortable life at the cost of their members.Members were often engaged in criminal activities and even murders for their beliefs. The most well-known followers of this group were The Beatles, Steve Jobs, and Russell Brand.
