The ISKCON Communications Journal (ICJ) was a biannual magazine[1] of dialogue, focussing on issues related to missionary development in ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) and with issues of communication, administration, social development and education which affected mission in ISKCON.[2]ICJ also provided a forum for members of various communities to comment on ISKCON's development.[3] It was established in 1993[4][5] and was published by ISKCON Communications Europe until its last issue appeared in 2005.
The ICJ came to be regarded by scholars as ISKCON's intellectual magazine[6] and published papers by a number of prominent scholars.[7] British sociologist James Beckford saw the ICJ as an example of the contribution of religious movements to their own academic study.[8] Beckford held that the magazine showed how "organic intellectuals" of ISKCON were discussing their research and ideas with scholars and in some cases conducting joint research.[9] According to the Danish religious studies scholar Mikael Rothstein, the magazine was a means of internal communication in ISKCON, as well as forum for dialogue with academics. In his view, the magazine represented ISKCON's fundamental interest in good relations with the academic community.[10]
