The ISKCON is a cult, but better than popular/folk Hinduism. If I am not mistaken, they do not even identify as Hindus. That they reject the "Hindu" name, maybe for the purpose of making it more appealing to Westerners.The Jews that are controlling ISCKON presently are to blame as well.
There are 3 levels of Hinduism:
1)Folk Hinduism that the average person participates in. That can include worshipping cows, rat temples, burning cow poo in rituals and other superstitious thing.
2)Organizations and teachers like ISKCON, Transcendental Meditation, Sadhguru e.t.c. which are popular with Western people.
3)True esoteric teachings that are focused on spirituality and are passed from guru to student like advanced yoga and tantra.
Even the 3rd level is somewhat corrupted as it's been explained in the site, with unnecessary things like celibacy, asceticism e.t.c.
