You see in vijays posting ( given at the bottom )a perfect example of
how people misinterpret stuff just to get their own agenda of
reorganiation going..
vijay, for your info it is not "issa" upanishad ( as you pointed out )
but ishopanishad ( isha + upanishad - a sandhi ) and we all know know
isha is a short form for ishwara.
By the way - buddhism and jainism are derived from the Sankhya
philosophy which is one of the 6-darshanas , which are considered to be
all of hinduism. Sikhism, Jainism, Buddhism and all the other
philosophies that have originated from the soil of India have a lot in
common and are very tolerant. Unlike the semitic religions ( i.e
christianity, islam and judaism ) which preach that their god ( jesus,
allah, etc ) is the only God and anyone who doesnt believe goes to hell.
All the philosophies that have originated from the soil of India do come
under Hinduism, have a tremendous number of common ideas ( infact much
more than the christian denominations ) and all people that follow those
philosophies are Hindus.
I request all the vaishnava proponents and mr.Ajai Shah and Mr.
Bhatnagar to make peace. Please do not make SRH some kind of personal
fiefdom or place for personal vendetta.
