Hinduism is many things to many people. As is the case with most religions, the uneducated and ignorant understand it at a very low level. Most people have no idea what their religion really is. Either what the teachings are, or what it really is to them- since most people don't examine things very closely. How can I blame them? Life is a struggle for existence for many people. Philosophical enquiry is a luxury. I have a very dear friend who is Hindu- but really she is just like me. We hold almost exactly the same philosophical belief, neither one of us is religious, yet she thinks she is a Hindu and I am sort of a Buddhist. We know this, and it is a great joke to us.

"I would think and hope you know of the incredibly old lineages of the schools of Hindu religious thought & innumerable sages ,gurus ,and rishis going back to before Moses. Yep, I chanted and AUM'd in groups many years ago. I've listened to more than one Yogi as well. I met a guy who believed he was Budda incarnate. I still meditate. I like the idea of mentors and teachers but am skeptacle of perfect masters. I consider all of this philosophy and in some sense a discipline. It doesn't work as a belief system for me.
