The LDS church (Mormons) are a sect of Christianity, just like baptists, methodists, Protestants, etc... So the answer is No.

Very different religions. Mormon is a sect of christianity with an added "new revelation" by Joseph Smith in 19th century America.
Harri Krishna is a sect of Hindu which focuses on the eighth incarnation of the Lord Vishnu called Krishna

No here's a brief explanation of both
Hare krishna's are closer to Buddist's in their beliefs than christians
[haree krishnah] A religious movement founded in the USA in 1965 by His Divine Grace A C Bhaktivedanta, Swami Prabhupada as the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. The movement promotes human well-being by promoting God consciousness based on the ancient Vedic texts of India. It is one of the best known of the new religious movements coming from the East, largely as a result of saffron-robed young people gathered in town centres chanting the Maha mantra, from which their popular name is derived. In their pursuit of spiritual advancement devotees practise vegetarianism, do not use intoxicants, do not gamble, and are celibate apart from procreation within marriage.
Mormon (Mormon is a branch of christianity)
a sacred book of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, believed by members of the church to be an abridgment by a prophet (Mormon) of a record of certain ancient peoples in America, written on golden plates, and discovered and translated (1827–30) by Joseph Smith.

Oh boy are you out of it. where the heck do you live??
First off, it's Hari Krishna (hah-ree krish-nah). Think shaved head, silk robes, singing/drumming on street corners, all blissed out. Hinduism with a Buddhist feel. A little spacey but nice guys really.
Mormons, or the Church of Latter-Day Saints, are a Christian sect centered in Utah. Think young white guys in boring suits, going on missions overseas to help the poor, marrying young and having tons of kids. A little uptight but nice guys really.

I think Morman food is better. Of course the Krishnas don't have to wear those silly suits and ties all the time.
