I have asked online if Hare Krishna is Hindu, and they have said no. And also, I know in the book "Science of Self-Realization", chapter three, Prabhupada says directly it is not Hindu.
So, I'm assuming that it isn't.
I e-mailed a Gaudiya Vaishnava site and they say Gaudiya Vaishnavism is within Hinduism. So what's going on with that?
I would post my links, but it won't let me without fifteen posts.
I do not mean to start an argument or hurt anyone's feelings. I just seek clarification.
Thank you all for any help you can provide!
sorry i dont know english language, i try to explain the truth.
what is hindu? hindu means its a just name, actually muslims kept name for vedic culture. the word "VEDA" means knowladge. hare krishna (ISKCON) following and leaning god knowladge from vedas, lord krishna is supreme lord. he is not depand with religion,lord krishna is like only pure and true devotional service. in vedas says one who says (i am this religion like hindu and any other) means he is equal to animal.
