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.
