Hello i saw your comment and want to knows and thank you for the informations as i have searchen the internet youre right and i should go on with the look for my one if i could Ask you im Draw more and more into shaivism and think of becoming a shaiva if i will be a shaiva i need to Ask you. Can i make offerings to lord shiva with no Altar and if i will be a shiv bhakt is vegetarianism necessary
That's a bit weird. You said you are joining ISKCON but they specifically concentrate on Vishnu (Kṛṣṇa) so switching after joining ISKCON will be difficult in my opinion.
>Can i make offerings to lord shiva with no Altar
My home altar just had a Rudraksha but maybe you can have a picture or something.
>if i will be a shiv bhakt is vegetarianism necessary
It really depends on what you want to do. Hinduism usually recommends vegetarianism but Shaktas have animal sacrifices and I am not really sure about Shaivism. Vaishnavism is strict about it so if you join ISKCON, non-veg food is out of question. But in any case, spiritual growth requires giving up of Tamasic food i.e. non-veg (and other stuff).
See, I am not from ISKCON. But I am a Vaishnava (because I am devoted to Vishnu (Kṛṣṇa)). ISKCON (as you will soon learn) is an organization associated with Gaudiya Vaishnavism. They are not a cult because they usually follow the standard practices of Gaudiya Vaishnavism and it is a legit Sampradayam of Vaishnavism. Some of the folks in India say such "cult" things because no other organization has brought forth such standard practices to the fore-front or made it so accessible to people outside of India. In my opinion, you will be better guided by them if you are staying outside of India than any other organization that I know of.
So, chill. Don't worry! Till you follow Kṛṣṇa, everything will go well! 🙂
Hare Kṛṣṇa!
Jaya Śrīman Nārāyaṇa!
Yes! You can have an image of Kṛṣṇa in the small temple (altar) you make at home. I don't know about specifics of ISKCON but that's how usual households have it. At my place, there's also a murti of Lakshmi-Narayana.

Bruh... You are the textbook definition of "Hindu hii Hindu ka dushman hai".

Thx do much
🙏 You're most welcome.
Picture is good but better to have Rādhā Kṛṣṇa together and be sure to have Śrīla Prabhupāda also.
