Hindus in Siberia

I heard a while back there were Hindus in Siberia. They were of Mongoloid origin. A Hindu priest from India went to Siberia and poured a vial of the Ganges in a river. Wish I save the article. --Dangerous-Boy 07:52, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lists

Is a list of the ISKCON and other temples necessary? We can instead list a number of temples, and maybe their locations if they are needed. Shruti14 ( talk • contribs ) 18:55, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

'Western Interpretation?'

Why is ISKCON charged with a 'western interpretation of Hinduism?' ISKCON has a disciplinic succession that can be traced back to Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, and it IS NOT a western creation as these Christians would love to beleive. I think this comment should be taken down, since it is offensive and completely concocted. I read the source material, but nowhere does Mr Kotin mention HOW it is a 'western interpretation'.

The practises of the Hare Krishna movement are quite different from those of mainstream Hinduism, but this difference does not originate in the west, but in fact in India. I see no reason why this man's uninformed opinion should be posted on wikipedia as some kind of fact.

IT has been over two months and no reply, so I will remove the content, since it is most certainly not encyclopaedic. -Harrifer- (forgot my login) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.157.181.161 (talk) 13:59, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Further research shows that Mr Kotin was also incorrect that it is specifically Iskcon that is disliked by the Russian Orthodox church. In a letter to the mayor of Moscow, the Russian Orthodox Archbishop referred to Krishna as a 'demon'. Clearly this shows that the leadership of the Orthodox church hate Hinduism in general, and not just the Gaudiya Vaisnava movement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Harrifer (talk • contribs) 15:16, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New material put in 'controversy' section, along with two sources. If I haven't edited this properly, feel free to change it.Harrifer (talk) 15:36, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
