		The Hindu philosophy reflected in the epics is the doctrine of avatar (incarnation of God as a human being).

		But if you do describe yourselves as "Hindus" as least some of the time, then of course it is good to devise proper definitions that are accurate and make sense; to do this well, you probably need to be more familiar with how others among you believe and practice religiously.
