  1. Cool Re: Buddha's Role as a Social Reformer

    No Upnishad is anti Vedas, anti hindu groups who praise Buddha, will never praise Upnishads.

    And he thinks Vedas are a bunch of "polytheist" stuff while the Upanishads are "special" because they talk about Brahman which he thinks is inspired by his Semitic "God" and Brahman is his Semitic "God" but still the Upanishads are not quite the same standards of his Torah/Gospel/Quran bullshit from his sky fairy given to its loser "Prophets" (3 different religions that hate and kill each, like a bunch of little kids trying to claim the entire sandbox).

    Maybe polytheist stuff Vedas are "Aryan" whereas Upanishad and those who spoke of Brahman are non-Aryan according to him as well.

    I suspect he probably thinks Bhagavad Gita are "made up" and "not from God" and based from Upanishads.

    Funny, because the same guy probably wouldn't see how the Quran could have been written by Muhammad by copying from Torah and Bible(which themselves are made up). When the Hadiths and traditional accounts have it that Muhammad would talk to people, and according to the subject of what he talked about, he would afterwards "suddenly" get verses "revealed" to him. Allah is some pu**y God that first reveals Torah, and then Pslams and then Gospels and then says they all got corrupted and finally reveals the Quran.

    And we are the ones who have defective scriptures in our hands? LOL

    "Upanishadic movement" revolt against "Vedic religion" LOL just LOL

    Budha was no social or political reforms. He never rejected caste. Anything supporting from his teachings?

    Namaste

    The Ramayana series on ZeeTV is now over, and the new historical series that has taken it's slot is Buddha.

    I find these very interesting, not that they are necessarily factual or strick to the scripture, but that they do seem to reflect popular culture and concepts of the common people in India and of Hinduism as well, the popular interpretations.

    So I watched the first episode of Buddha, not to learn of the scriptural or historical figure, but to glimpse perhaps into the popular perception of Buddh in India. I have only seen the first episode, but the feel is Hindu, Buddha as a Hindu (which He was). This Buddha in no way reflects the "Chinese" Buddha, but even seems to of Saiva parents. Interesting in that some Vaishnava sects see Buddha as an incarnation of Vishnu.

    Dear ShivaFan,

    Have you heard about the new Mahabharata serial coming out soon? Are you looking forward to it?

    Neither Buddha nor Mahavira "rejected caste." This is a common misconception. Buddha affirmed varna based on guna and in the Dhammapada repeatedly uses the term Brahmin to refer to a wise person, and there are Jain castes right up to the present day. The Upanishads are of course thoroughly Vedic and utilize the imagery of the Vedic yajna extensively to talk about the deeper dimensions of spiritual experience.
