Gaudiya Vaishnavism is more in the mood of Radha-Krishna worship. Lord Rama and Krishna are the same person in different mood. Lord Rama is worshipped more with awe and reverence as a king and lord Krishna is worshipped more with sweetness.
Lord Rama is daily worshipped in his deity form in several ISKCON temples. For example, there are deities of Sita Rama Laxmana Hanuman in ISKCON Delhi temple, Bhaktivedant manor and several ISKCON temples all over the world.
"So devotees, they always chant together Krishna's name and Rama's name. So when there is question of rama-nama, there is Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare. That is rama-nama.
So there is no partiality, that "These people are simply after Krishna." Of course, we are little more attached to Krishna, but that does not mean we do not know who is Lord Ramacandra. We know that He is also Krishna Himself in His different feature of pastime."

Hare Krishna ,
"Lord Rama and Krishna are the same person in different mood. Lord Rama is worshipped more with awe and reverence as a king and lord Krishna is worshipped more with sweetness. " , Very Wonderful Explanation I was trying to Find out if Lord Ram is an Avatar of Krishna . Your Reply Really Answered My Question.
Can You Explain a Bit More on this
Hare Krsna,
Rama and Krsna are the same which is why we glorify both in chanting. As the prabhu in the earlier post mentioned, Gaudiya Vaisnavism has a focus on Radha-Govinda worship because the mood conveyed is sweetness w/ Krsna while awe and reverence is maintained w/ Lord Ram. There is many vaisnav celebrations such as Rama Navami and ekadasi for Lord Rama. Simply put, Ram and Krsna are the same supreme personality but worshiped in different moods.
Hope I clarified well.
Yrs,
Tamal Krsna
