Note: Logos Attachment (Zip File) dropped as size exceeded 27.0 MB VI. Many Photographs (Historical & New): VII. Database Analysis: From the Database collected so far, the following loose inference is made, which may be not taken as ground for any controversy.

1. ISKCON is a world in itself and very focused for activities worldwide.

2. From India, the Four Top Hindu Leaders of the two Millennium, according to their contributions, are listed below: 1.

Sri Adi Shankaracharya

8-9th Century AD

2.

Mahatma Gandhi

19-20th Century AD

3.

AC Bhakti Vedanta Srila Prabhu Pada (The founder Acharya of ISKCON) Swami Vivekananda

19-20th Century AD

4.

19-20th Century AD

Note: The list kept short as it may lead controversies for hierarchical order etc.

3. In Comparison to the Western Countries (like USA, Canada & UK), Hindu Population to no. of Hindu Websites ratio is very low for Nepal & Bangladesh.

This speaks about low Media awakening level there.

4. No. of Websites & Temples for Lord Brahma are few in comparison to Lord Vishnu & Lord Shiva. (Trideva).

IX. Information on ROMAs (Gypsies): We studied details on Roma Community which is today in 15 Million Plus and spread in 27 Countries of Europe & few in Americas & Australia.

Majority of Historians agree that they are descendants of Hindus (Rajputs & few tribal community) of North West India including Hindu Kush Region who were repeatedly attacked by Mahmud Ghaznavi (i.e Sultan who looted Somnath Temple in Gujarat on many times & destroyed it) in 11th century and finally taken them slave, in many thousands of numbers, to Persia. Weakening of Rulers there , Romas further migrated to Armenia, Balkans, Rumania & other part of Europe.

Still, many of them follow counting system, words for their day to day activities & many customs & worshiping of Gods based on Hindu system.

As an academic interest & for awareness, we collected Websites and Email addresses (of those who are subject experts or leaders of the Community) and the same are attached.

A similar example but older than Roma plight is of an Israeli race who migrated to Mizoram in India more than 2500 years back. Israelis carried out DNA testing and found the truth. Accordingly, many thousands of Mizos recently migrated back to Israel. (http://www.chhinlungisrael.com/mizo-israel).

By outside aggression, Ramas (Hindus) of Western India were made to become Romas but today they are awaken and finding their roots and ancient linkages to connect back to Ramas.

If you have more details or links on Roma Community, kindly send to us.

XI. General Points for Database We have only listed working Websites & E-Mail addresses in the lists attached.

Kindly enlarge magnification of pdf file to 125 % or more to see Websites clearly. Click on any website address shall directly enable access to it.

It is for your kind information that we have listed sites/Logos/E-Mails etc under broad category/reference country etc as it is difficult to categorize them by water tight boundaries. Also few websites have been listed under World category as they either have larger dimensions or country reference could not be found.

Kindly check the websites directly in xxx.xxx.xxx or xxx.xxx format, as the case may be and without using prefix www, as few websites' names listed are without www.

We sincerely feel that so far we could collect around 85-90% information of all Hindu Websites in the vast Internet public domain. Any updation (addition/ deletion/ correction/ changing category etc) may please be informed and shall be received by us with due respect.

In case any other detail, other than listed and specifc to Country/Organisation/Deity wise needed, we shall be happy to provide.

An Appeal: Database attached may not be used in any form for marketing of any product/commercial activity etc.

If we have added any website/Email entry wrongly, kindly send a line to us for taking necessary action in this regard.

We apologize in advance for any error done by us.
