It pretty much stayed in India because hindus don't send out people to spiritually coerce others into believing in their religion. The Hare Krishnas heard of it through Indians who went abroad to study, got intrigued, and trekked to India to learn and become hindus. No intimidation necessary. Learn from them, christian and muslim people, learn from the hindus!
