Prabhupada a fundamental Hindu? Looks like that, eh?

No need to do so.

Just to be considered that "Hindu" sounds sectarian, and IMHO for

practical reasons ISKCON devotees do not basically identify as Hindus

because Krsna consciousness was meant equally for Christians, Moslems ...

everyone. Wherever you are, just add Krsna consciousness. Avoid

sectarianism. "Vaisnava" is preferred, since it means 'the one who

[follows the instruction of \ worships \ etc.] Visnu', which is a more

universal name.

 

Otherwise, "Hindu" is OK. Whatever it means, it is just another material

label we can use as we wish. No problem with that :-)
