I think we would all agree that Jesus, Buddha or Milarepa weren't
Hindus, and that they were pretty darn good teachers.

BTW, have you ever heard about a thing called guru daksina? It's a
Hindu custom, according to which a student, having finished his
education, rewards the guru with money or some other form of material
wealth.
Ooops, but that's OK, coz they're Hindu, and Hindu money is better
than the western kind, coz it's all Aryan and purified by tapasya. ;>
