Joint Communiqué by Jagadguru Shankaracharya Shri Jayendra Saraswatiji of Kanchi Kamakoti Pith and Vipassanacharya Satya Narayan Goenkaji.
The Maha Bodhi Society Office, Sarnath, Varanasi. 3:30 p.m., 11 November 1999
This joint communiqué is being issued after the cordial talk between Jagadguru Shankaracharya Shri Jayendra Saraswatiji of Kanchi Kamakoti Pith and Vipassanacharya Guruji Shri Satyanarayana Goenkaji.
Both agree and wish that there should be harmonious and friendly relations between both ancient (the Vedic and the Ṣramana) traditions. If there has been any misconception in this matter in the minds of the people of the neighbouring countries, it should be removed at the earliest.
The following was agreed:
1. Due to whatever reason some literature was written (in India) in the past in which the Buddha was declared to be a reincarnation of Vishnu and various things were written about him. This was very unpleasant to the neighbouring countries. In order to foster friendlier ties between the two communities we decide that whatever has happened in the past (cannot be undone, but) should be forgotten and such beliefs should not be propagated.
2. A misconception has spread in the neighbouring countries that the Hindu society of India is organising such conferences to prove its dominance over the followers of the Buddha. To forever remove this misconception we declare that both Vedic and Ṣramana traditions are ancient traditions of India. Both have their own prestigious existence. Any attempt by one tradition to show itself higher than the other will only generate hatred and ill will between the two. Hence such a thing should not be done in the future and both traditions should be accorded equal respect and esteem.
3. Anybody can attain a high position in the society by doing good deeds. One becomes a low (person in society) if one does evil deeds. Hence anybody can-by doing good deeds and removing the defilements such as passion, anger, arrogance, ignorance, greed, jealousy and ego-attain a high position in society and enjoy peace and happiness.
We agree on all the three things mentioned above and wish that all the people of India from all the traditions should have cordial relations and the neighbouring countries should also have friendly relations with India.
When he said Krishna is parabrahma tears filled my eyes. My guru once told me long ago the same thing. Never consider Krishna as just another avatar, He is para Brahma. You need to know the true nature of Krishna, which is indifferent to happenings. 🙏

*sanskritam
A masterful lecture-my sincere pranama to the legend who deserves a Padma award for sure! hope the government recognizes his contribution
I feel sad that I couldn't get a seat from those empty seats to see this live.
so much hate for hindus in comment is disheartening. hatred for hindu is so evident. caste system is a tool for haters who dont even know the history of it. it is a favourite tool of westerns to use against hindus which was seeded by them. brahman and brahmin is different buddhism and shaivism is different. vaishnavism and jainism is different. shaktism is different from shaivism etc. but they all come under one shelter but this fact is difficult for western to grasp but sad thing is even eastern are not able to understand and creating hatred.
Ashok Vyas No one says that they belong to Shaivism or Vaishnavism, they all say that they are Hindus, but when we ask a Buddhist, he never says he is a Hindu. Buddha belonged to Sramana tradition, now learn the difference.
Menander I, there are lots of vaishnavas and shaivas who claim they are not hindus. In fact, only recently another shaiva sect asked for a status of a separate religion.
Please note that "Hindu" is a geographical label aking to "euro" or "american" imposed by outsiders on the people who follow the Sanatan Dharma. Shaivas, Vaishnavas, Advaitas, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, tantra all are Sanatan Dharmic faiths, drawing from the same core thought system encompassing many beliefs and theories including atheism, monism, dualism etc to suit every conceivable bent. The thing that binds the Sanatan Dharmic faiths are the common core concepts and practices of reincarnation, dharma, karma, moksha, meditation and yoga which no other religion has as central concepts. The separation of Buddhism from "Hinduism" was concocted and fanned by those who feared that Sanatan Dharma would become the biggest "religion" in the world, greater than Christianity and Islam since it spans essentially the whole of Asia--India, Burma, Tibet, China, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Thailand, Mongolia, Laos, Cambodia, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and Japan. That fear and attendant animosity betrays a sense of insecurity and tacit acknowledgement of the superiority of Sanatan Dharma which alone among civilizations has withstood the test of time in spite of long and extreme barbarity against it and still thrives today as fresh, relevant and vibrant as ever. There is not a single street in any civilized country today that doesnt have a yoga joint with people folding palms and chanting OM and Namaste. .
Vaishavism is nothing but a collective effort of an ancient nomadic Jews.
Manny morgan Morgan,hahaha,another concocted idea,the whole dharma way before jews,christianity stuffs,try something else.
Dont try to fuse ur ideology or thoughts into eternal dharma.
Great,Even Dr.Nagaswamy & RAJIV Malhotraji also avatras to destroy darkness of ignorance
Vinayak Patky Well said, brother !!
The basic problem is that ‘Religion’ as a concept in entirely alien in the Indian setting. There is no cognate for this word, or the Arabic equivalent “mazhab “ in any ancient Indian language. The word Hindu, was forced upon the Indian people after the Islamic conquest as a way to differentiate themselves from the local people, who were called Hindus.
Indians never defined themselves along these lines at any point in the past. If you don’t understand this basic point, then everything that you’ll ever hear about this will be misconstrued.
There are materialist schools of philosophy in India, that are more dissimilar to conventional “hinduism’ than is Buddhism. Yet these schools of thought are still classed as ‘Hindu schools’.
Sam Cohen true
I'm afraid that you don't understand the word "mazhab" correctly: www.quora.com/What-is-meant-by-mazhab
This will not continu if youth people will change their mindsets on casteism 🙏❤thankyou about the indo given bt u
Why he is spreading lies ?
the Buddha was never a mythological figure as Rama & Hanuman but very much a historical figure.
Gautama Buddha was a real human being....He was not a mythological figure like Lord Vishnu or Parshuram.
Just...You cannot say that....Guru Gobind Singh is the Avatar of Vishnu...
You cannot say that Mahavir Jain is the Avatar of Vishnu
If Sikhism and Jainism are different than Hindu...then why not Buddhism ?? Why mixing up historical figure with Mythological figure.
Why can't you accept the uniqueness of Buddhism religion ? Hindus shouldn't mix both.
You should also answer, Why Buddhism disappeared from India after 12th century ?
@@Gaurav.P0 what wrong with it.
Why do you have problem Lord Buddha being 9th incarnation of Lord Vishnu.
Thanks. Very helpful to clear the misunderstandings between Buddhism and Hinduism. Seen in London on 1st Feb 2020.
Also refer to the Airateswara Temple of Cholas. There is the Sun God Surya followed by Buddha near a chariot wheel which actually is the oldest sun clock in India.
Thought Provocative lecture thanks a lot sir
I'm a Theravada Buddhist, I don't worship Vishnu....
What do you think when Buddha says he was Ram in previous birth and he is a prince of Ikshvaku Vamsh and descendant of Ram?
I am a Vaishnavite and I respect Buddhaa
sir, atleast you are not mocking vishnu
for that I grateful.
Nice and simple talk. Would have been happier to see a bigger audience.
Concepts taught may be different ....but ...that is the beauty of hinduism ....if engulfs everything ! :)
Apoorv Saxena and I am in a quest to know the depth of it :)
Sadhguru is the most knowledgeable person about this
Hi Apoorv, We must be careful when we say Hinduism engulfed everything as if originally it was lacking and found something good in other religions and then assimilated it. The more I read Hinduism, I feel that it was already exhaustive. For example the Vedas already had the concepts of nirguna and saguna approach to God. The elements of Advaita, Vishistadvaita and Dvaita were already there in the Vedas. Vedas saw Brahman as Poorna (Full) whereas Buddha saw it as Shoonya.. essentially not different - The room is empty vs the room is full of air. In fact Buddha's approach was negative.
@@venkatraman7396 there is no negative and positive in God's realm
@@venkatraman7396 absolutely! You stole words from my mouth.
This is great lecture with hard facts . Please also have presenters who are Buddhists as well who can present this. On the same topic, please also do forums of Sikh connections to Sanatan Dharma.
I really salute and respect Dr. R.Nagaswami And Rajiv Malhotra sir for constantly standing for Hinduism and getting facts to light. You are all legends. May you efforts be taken seriously by this generation and carry on your ideas about our dharma forever and for all generations without gap. I wish to carry your service for the next generation hope I am blessed and capable of doing so.
My son's name is Siddhant narayan he is the best person I hav seen this mean hindus and Buddhism when mixed become more beautiful
Siddhant and siddhartha are 2 different words with 2 different meanings.
Both come from the same teachings (DHARMA) the Universal teaching Karma, yoga meditation etc methods, our religion in Indonesia sinkritisme of Shiva & Budhha
As well as in Thailand and some southeast asia.. therefore you can see big temple Hindu temple (Prambanan) and big temple buddhism Borobudur..
That's the beauty of our culture we are free whatever we want to worship or however we want to live
My pranam to you Sir
I don't understand. He says there is no conflict between Buddhism and Hinduism and that there is the worship of Buddha by Hindus and vice-versa. Alright, but if there is no difference then why did Adi Shankara take so much pain and effort to stop the spread of Buddhism and debate and win over Mandan Misra? Rajiv Malhotra himself has said many times over that Buddhism has destroyed Kshatriyata. So this video is actually misleading the audience.
I understand that we don't fight with each other as Abrahamic religions do and we resolve our differences through dialogue and accept them. But that does not go on to mean that we don't have differences. My point is simply this, there are philosophical differences between Hinduism and Buddhism even though we can co-exist peacefully. Because if that weren't the case, then why didn't India, which is the birthplace of Buddhism practice it and adopt it when conversions were happening from Hinduism to Buddhism?
India is not a birth place of Buddhism practice , Siddharth Gautam came from Nepal which was a part of bharata came to Hindu university for knowledge and wisdom he did not get by sitting below the tree and he wanted everyone bro throw down their weapon but he failed Buddhism was spreaded by Ashoka by force lots of jainis we're killed in the process and Hindu accepted it but modern Buddhist can't stand the fact that adi sankaracharya defeated the Buddhist in debate
I believe too we r of same system
Lots of victimised moolniwasi in the comment section who were owned by adi shankaracharya
So Brahmins were not moolniwasi?
😂😂😂
I am Buddhist and I don't worship any hindu god
That's good
no one cares about what you worship
Conflicts are never on truth, but my and yours interpretation of truth.
good one
Awesome insights Nagaswamyji and SRM. We need to bring more such info into the public domain to counter the false narratives prevalent.
With due respect i disagree .Lord Buddha denies the existing of capital "GOD'' creator god , but they are devas but they are not creator,even these devas are subjected to birth and death.Hinduism and Buddhism is different in terms of gyana because hinduism called gyana as "Aatma gyana " wereas Buddhism called gyana as "ANAATMA GYANA"
I read Dhammapada and Gita almost every day. I do not find any difference. God is english word. Buddha choose not to spend too much time on God. This is also teaching of Gita. Both are teaching Dhamma ( ethics, morality, honesty, simplicity,control of mind)
@@deepakkumr Buddhism is becoming under hinduism culture of India.In Buddhism had never god and We do have deva god but its actually not god because Deva or Indra God must death and rebirth like human 😁.Human or Animal or Gods are same.Just a life in Buddhism.Every Life is suffering nomatter what life God or human or Animal be thats why Buddhists want to go to Nirvana.Nirvan never be born or death or rebirt.its zero existence.I respect to Hindu culture religion expect Caste system.This is too bad.As a Buddhist from Myanmar I love India and their Hindu Culture.
Donot mixup brahmana and Buddha. Have you not read Dr Ambedkar speech
wow....wonderful..enriched me.
Hindus are better Buddhists than Buddhists themselves - there are two types of religions that dominate the world - one is Master/Slave and the other is Teacher/Student
Master/Slave religions - there is only One God, one Master - Master is always right, every other religion is wrong & must be hated and put down. If we beg and grovel to the master, he will be pleased and give us the good life for eternity (Heaven) Basically it is the last thing that they are after - Heaven = Pleasures of the flesh
Teacher/Student religions - there are many Teachers, not just one. Teacher is not always right, we must discern what is right and what is wrong. We do not beg and grovel to the Teacher, all the Teacher can give us is knowledge, point to the right path, it is we who must forge our way The goal is Moksha = Aham Brahmasmi - to become God, to become the Teacher = Pleasures of the mind, heart and soul
Is Buddhism a Master/Slave religion or a Teacher faith? Certainly the Buddha saw himself as a Teacher but has he been downgraded to a Master by his followers? It certainly seems so Those who spew hate against Hinduism are behaving more like slaves, not students In a Teacher faith, there cannot be just one teacher - there must be many & the idea that the Teacher can do no wrong (Master is always right) is a characteristic of Master/Slave religions
I see Hinduism as the last Teacher faith left
Buddhism is best as also told by Albert Einstein
It is beating around the bush in finding a conflict between what Buddha had said and Upanishads of Hindus said. It is a political search. Buddha was a searcher of the ultimate truth and had nothing to do with politics - then or now. Anybody can talk, look into his words and express his opinion. It is all useless because such learned people have no spiritual authority to say what Buddha had meant. Intellectualism is too superficial a tool to find His meaning. One has to go himself to the level of Buddha - or near about that - to find and speak what He meant. The bottom line is: To the problem of death, life and death - and the solution thereof - the approach of Buddha and Sanatan Dharma is ONE. Please do not seek politics in this thing - or casteism, because it is CONDUCT alone that matters in both.
Well said
@@ramaraksha01
Siddharta went to teachers it's right there in his story. He learned from ancient Indian traditions of Meditations and Asceticism. No one denies that .
@@revelvotolols7746 he actuall y went to teachers.but he didn't find the truth from them.so,he started to find it alone after about 6 years by he got enlightened and understood the eternal truth and preached them to innocent people and rescued them from sansara
Only Buddha's teachings are true Buddhism. Subsequent forms of Buddhism that talk about soul, god, or idol worship are false versions. This is what confuses most hindoos who are too eager to dilute the uniqueness of Buddhism.
Hail Lord Buddha!
Hinduism and Buddhism are one. Sidhartha Gauthama Bhudha was Hindu Prince. Never created any religion, but only thing is he tried to reform cultural and social structure of India in a liberal way. That was the purpose of all Incarnations (Avatars). Hinduism (Sanathana, Dharma, Jainism, Buddhism and Sikhism are one). I have seen a Brahmin adviser in Cambodia. These four religion are parts and patcels of on Great Religion of India. We are differed due to names but philosophical and naturally we are one. "WARNING" BE AWARE & BE CAREFUL OF THOSE MISCREANTS WANNA TO MESS THIS UNITY BY DIVIDE AND DESTROY STRATEGY.
Plz don’t included caste rotten Brahmin to Buddhism ....
Lol, sorry he was not the revolutionary you were looking for. In digah nakata buddha himself tells hte secret why a republiv he counseled won't decline, it had 7 parts and two of them were doing ancient rituals and following the traditional ways. Cope harf
@@soul_stripper8294 read tevijja sutta in theravada tradition
Mostly brahmin developed mahayana/vajrayana sastras...they introduced vedic ideas, deities,logic,rituals etc in mahayana/vajrayana Buddhism
h'm is easy to understand
its the 2 sams: samsara (reincarnation) resulting in samadhi (absorption into god)
He rants a lot leaving the fundamental difference.
Buddha was agnostic
Hindoos are pantheistic and panentheistic
Totally wrong. In the first place the so called Hindism is not a religion. It is Dharma. It includes all Indic religions including Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, shaivism, Vaishnavism, Shakteyas and even out right atheistic belief system like Charvakism. Buddhism is very much close to Advaia, so much so that Shankaracharya was called 'Prachhanna Budhha', in other words 'disguised Budhha'. Among Shad Darshana, or the six orthodox schools of Indian Darshana, a couple of them are agnostic in nature. There is no place for a creator God in such philosophies. At the same time they are not atheistic in their approach either.
Do not be so brain washed with Western and Marxist ideas.
Brahmin as mentioned in Dhammapada is not based on birth but on deeds. In India Buddha has been made as Avathara which is falsehood. The countries which follow Buddha has opposed the idea of avathara. Please do not try to justify merely to uphold a particular philosophy.
Lord Buddha was from Shakya royal family. They were the Kshatriyas.
Want to know, what was the religion of the Shakya family??
Has any connection of Lord Buddha with the family of Ikshashu as descendent??
In daama pada he was from ikshavakhu vans
Many Hindus keep the name of Sidhdharth to their children. Where the name Sidhdharth is earlier name of Buddha. This example is itself shows Bhidhism is inseparable from Hinduism.
Sanatan Dharma has many theistic and non-theistic branches...Buddhism and Jainism are two Non- theistic branches of Sanatan Dharma(Although there are many)
False. Buddha was a yogi
KUMAR SANIL watch this th-cam.com/video/yP9ZyJJc9qc/w-d-xo.html
people today are caught up in the stupid western idea of religion
There's no such thing as sanatana dharma there's just vedic Brahmanism which we today call hinduism. It accepts vedas as an authority. Religions like Buddhism and jainism don't recognize vedas and hence they're different.
@@wickedmonk2250 Upnishads don't recognize the Vedas too and the concepts of Buddhism is all present in the Upnishads. Hinduismis like a big library,in every library there are some books which many adhere too and are very important but it dosen't mean that there aren't other books,one can choose any book they like either the one which everyone follows or even other books which little to no people follows.Also they are free to add their own books.People are free to make their own choices.
Hinduism is open,deep-rooted Spiritual Knowledge for mankind.It enlightens the common mortals into a Godly state.Buddha is one proof.Why doesn't anyone say the very concept of retiring/meditating in forests(sanyasi) is Hinduism?Mahavir is another proof.They are in total harmony. People should start realising "modern" religions have been purposely created and IMPOSED upon them to keep them ignorant,malleable and enslaved.
His understanding of Buddhism is very rudimentary.
We hindus..buddhists..jains..sikhs..r the sons n daughters of the same soil...hind
difference btw Hinduism and Buddhism is believing in god.
Pema Wangchen nope you need
Buddhism hands down !!! Buddha made peace and righteousness
Christianity and Islam teach running away from life - apparently there is a nice Sugar Daddy in the sky who has nothing better to do than to keep billions of fat cats in nice comfort because they prayed to the "right" God
Hinduism alone asks us to choose Life, REAL LIFE with the concept of Reincarnation
The Buddha asks us to get rid of desires - it works for older people but for young people it is the wrong advice - we need desires, dreams - it is what pushes us forward as a society - we have come this far in life because of dreams and the willingness to pursue them
@@ramaraksha01 rightly said 😀
If you consider Hinduism is Buddhism and Buddhism is Hinduism than why do'nt the Hindu should adopt Buddhism ? In Hinduism the all human being are divided in so many groups on the basis of cast and hatred seed is distributed among each other / societies resulting slavery under among Hindus it self as well as others .There is one prover in Sanskrit Lang." Isa vasy vidam sarvey yatkincham jagatyam jagat ". So you have been giving examples which are not at all related with the religion . In Hindu you were find so many stories in which found all religious gods who have been having poor charactor/ linked with sexual asault with their own child / others ladies .like wise so many other teachings were not even aseptable for normal human beings.
Sanatan dharma talks about the Varana system based on the occupation of the person which was hereditary in nature, This cast based hatred was induced in the last 200 years to divide Hindu society and make people fight against each other. As far as segregation of people is concerned even Sunni, Shia, Ahmedi also exists in Islam (Iran vs Saudi) and protestant and catholic exist in Christianity too.
According to romila thapar, Muslim rulers persecuting Hindus was not about religion but politics but Shunga king who cut down boddhi tree was due to religion.
But both are kings and both would have same political objectives but this doesn't suit their agenda.
Buddha did not claim that he was creating a new religion.His followers made this religions .Boddhism can be thought of a branch of hinduism teaching in non existence of god and sufferings .Moksha and nirvana are also described in upnishads Moreover he was a hindu king named siddharth and his way of enlightment was yoga to seek eternal truth. how do boddhists claim that they are different from Hindus.
Buddha was opposed to vedic rites and chaturvarna
@@animeshshukla5387 where written by buddha himself?
"Hinduism" is a geographic label for Advaitism, Vaishnavism, Shaivism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism and more which are all part of the same SCIENCE having core laws of dharma, karma, moksha. No other "religions" share these laws which spread from Afghanistan to Japan, Mongolia to Sri Lanka. As such, it may be the largest "religion" in the world and certainly the oldest. The so-called Christians who call these different "religions" themselves consider Catholics, Protestants, Adventists, Lutherans, Calvinists etc to nevertheless all be "Christians". Rascals.
@@culture04dc Hinduism states the non heriditary Varna system.
It is a joy listening to Dr R Nagaswamy present irrefutable facts like rock/pillar edicts, books like Nishpannayogavali, and temple architecture and archana vidhis etc., all contradicting the garbage we learnt in our schools about "Buddhism" being opposed to "Hinduism". It is high time we take charge our history, drive away the colonizers and put paid to their sepoys in India.

O God, in the body of Buddha, the enlightened! Out of Compassion of your heart you have condemned the ritualistic portion of the Vedas ordaining the killing of animals. Hail! Hari, God of the world, Victory to Thee!
vedas doesn't ask for animal sacrifice reas sri aurobindos work. this fallacy is written by those who dont understand a thing about veda
May be we read Ambedkar on this topic?
Narayana Vedic supreme God lord of infinite UNIVERSE he is BRAHMA he is Vishnu he is shiva
That God is one he has no limits like human being s that. supreme God his powers are present everywhere in the universe
Buddhism has originated in India and the situation now is because of congress and left parties we had to gather evidence to convince our own people that Hinduism is all about inclusion never exclusive. Collonial rule has made us to believe that we are different and one suppresses the other. There is no cast or religion in Hinduism but the term dharma was mislead to believe superiority and inferiority. In modern days analogy is that doctor's son aspires to become doctor and bottle seller's some wants to be bottle seller. One is called Vidya and other is batliwala. This is just crude example. Dharma is as every Indian( many foreigners now) is aware is a righteousness.
Buddhism is not a hindu cause of Buddha rejected himself saying that he is not a god and supernatural being. In Buddhism there is not such as self-notion. They accepted the non-dualist.....mind it Buddha is not a god of anything....don't try to make us fool.... Your Phd was low knowledge....Buddha is a awaked one....
Hinduism is a Teacher faith - God Rama never said he was God either - same as the Buddha - did no magic or miracles
These "Gods" are our Teachers
To say Buddhism is a form of Hinduism is akin to saying a lion is a form of leopard. They are related, sure, but saying that is stretching the truth a bit.
Bhramin are intellectuals in society..wish caste never existed so everyone had equal chance to contribute in society
@நாகராஜ ஐயர்- சேர பாண்டிய நாட்டு அந்தணன் Namaste, brother Can you tell me about how hindu and shaiv are in tamil in alot of side its already feel like we are going near civil war day by day
Good job Mr Nagaswamy. RSS ka kaam kar rahe hai. You people won't stop because you want supremacy of Brahmins so you fool lay people. Confuse them. You Brahmans are not ashamed of your self.
Communist ideology is of no use. You make comments on things you don't know. Communist as a class has purged.
Not impressed
Why?
You will never be impressed
U are here for 02:31
Thanks tho
I do not hate my hindu brothers but they have to understand that we buddhist are not hindus....
which simply means buddhist dont consider themselves brahmins...shatriya...veshya...shudra
We buddhist call ourselves human first...hindus are divided in 4 varnas....sory brothers you can call me hindu....but with respect i will always reject it....
What do you think when Buddha says he is a Kshatriya Prince and Maitreya(upcoming Buddha) will be a Brahmin?

So seekers do not get lost in prevaricative verbosity.
Remember the fundamental difference.
True Buddhism is agnostic. It does not talk about soul or god.
On the contrary, Hindooism has plethora of gods
Buddhism does not believe in gods , they believe in only self realisation. Where as sanatana dharma believe in god and god realisation. Big difference
The self is a part of God. Hinduism puts brahman as the only existing singularity. The self and the God are not considered independent beings in any of the Indic religions.
Self realization and God realization have the exact same meaning.
Buddha also refused to talk about soul.
Hindoos on the other hand are strong believers in soul irrespective of which form of divinity they worship
Rishabha Rishi is the 9th incarnation of Lord Vishnu out of 24 of incarnations listed in the Sri Mad Bhagvata Puran.

Brother, toil for a righteous india by spreading peace.PEOPLE like rajivji has enough time to dwell at length up on these divisive politics.Stop census of gods.
This is reply to all Buddhist truth is all buddhist scholars were defeated by adi shankaracharya and another Truth is before shankracharya Hindus scholar were defeated by buddhist too in that era whoever is supreme with their ideas people will follow so that was the level of tolerance and acceptance so before shankaracharya hinduism were totally demolished Buddha's preaching were followed by the majority and than shankaracharya came and he defeated those scholars and as you know scholars were "GURU" of kings so whoever defeated will accept those idea and follow ,as guru accepted that so king accpetd and same with the people and that's why in every excavation we find shivling, buddh statues , mahaveer statues!
And the common thing is "Adhyatma , meditation , Spirit" and this is called santana ❤️
Sanatan = brahamic

Now I understand, why the Dravidian parties hate Sanskrit and do not want that language, if one studies Sanskrit they will come to know all the facts about religion. It is high time, Government makes Sanskrit a choice language and allows 10 marks in all exams for questions on Sanskrit and another 10 marks for Mother tongue and 10 marks for Hindi language and 70 marks for general. Let this be the agenda for all future exams to come!
My ignorant friend, sanskrit a dead language in fact it was never spoken by masses, on the other hand tamil was the only spoken language up to Iran and entire southeast Asia, pls don't try to fool others, ancient tamil r the true natives of the so called India, then wat all it happen a copy paste in samaskirutham, tamil exchanged their grammer to develop sanskrit, but sanskrit produce only polished words.

Buddhism neither believes in God nor in soul. It is an atheistic man made religion. Buddha failed to experience God in his meditation, as he had neither studied Shastras nor had any Guru nor knew how to meditate. He denied existence of God and sole without any proof. That is why God is not worshipped in any Buddhist Viharas and only Buddha is remembered there. But a temple is a special spiritual place where God is worshipped through Pujaris and there are regular aartis, prashadam, discourses on God etc. None of these are allowed in Buddha’s Viharas. Many people call Buddha as God or Bhagwan is out of their ignorance. Buddhism spread in India and abroad as a revolt against Brahmanism and not against Hinduism.
budhism arose out of yogic culture, the very source all other isms in India. They are all actually on yogic system and each of them were different ways of seeking the same truth but degraded to empty ritual and taged with brand name of religion later on by an outsider. No buddhist denies their origin from nalanda.
India was land of baratiya culture, yogic way living, life of yogis was the norm which means,the life of Seeking for truth and liberation or mukthy not believing ok.
Now every fool in this country want to divide that culture into a thousand isms and more.
think what have we become. there is a reason why we say truth only triumphs.

Guys Buddhism is atheistic religion and buddha is not a god. Let’s make the record straight. Buddha is more like teacher and if followed his path all human being can become buddha and escape the circle of life and death.

Excellent Sir !
That is why Buddhism extinct in its country of origin, India - where majority follows hinduism - and still a major religion in the surrounding countries where hinduism is in meager numbers.
Human civilization thrived in Indian sub-continent for 1000 of years, different belief system emerged to support or oppose in various forms. All are formed to enrich the human way of life, the teaching may differ but the goal is same.
The problem is Fringe group behaves like owners of the belief system, formed a control system to discriminate humans then enrichment.

People are pathetically linking Buddhism and Hinduism. Both are different religions.
1. Hinduism has propaganda classes like Brahman Kshatriya vaishya shudras on the basis of birth that are artificial. Buddhism doesn't make such distinctions. However, for advanced disciples of Buddhism, abhi dhamma pitak exists. Buddhism doesn't prescribe different punishments and treatments for different classes as existing in the manusmriti of Hindus . Buddhism treats people equally.
2. Buddha never said he was God. In fact , the concept of God is alien to Buddhists . Hindus have 33 "koti" Gods.
3. Buddhism doesn't show you the fear of hell or the greed for heaven. Hinduism is riddled with the propaganda of heaven and hell which NASA couldn't prove .
4. Hindus don't worship Buddha . In fact, most of the Hindus will worship Vishnu , Rama , Krishna etc. It is very rare to find Hindus worshipping Buddha . Their homes don't contain Buddha's idols.
5. Hinduism is based on propaganda shastras that were written by a bunch of extremely smart , but cunning people. There is not one book but many, that contain propaganda against the shudras . Ramayana s shambhuk vadh and Mahabharata sut putra Karna, and Eklavya are just a few of the examples. However, Buddhism gave tripitakas( teachings of Buddha ) and jataka stories ( various births of Buddha, which are just stories , not literal births of Buddha, written by his disciples).
6. One cannot be a Hindu without having a firm belief in Sanatana shastras( Vedas , upnishads, smritis etc ) . However, one can be a Buddhist without having a belief in jataka stories and tripitaka. A Hindu holds his sanatana Dharma shastras as sacrosanct irrespective of the amount of fraud it contains . A Buddhist doesn't need to hold tripitakas and jataka stories as sacrosanct. He is free to reject them if something repugnant is found in them.
7. For Hindus, Vedas are the ultimate books, eternal, without beginning and without end. Nothing is more correct than the Vedas . Vedas cannot be improved or modified.
However for Buddhists , tripitakas are not the ultimate books. According to Buddha's teachings, rules may be changed that morally fit best to the situations. In fact, constant improvement forms the basis of Buddhism. The concept of kaizen is borrowed from Buddhism, which is used by the companies worldwide.
8. Hinduism believes that if a person doesn't do his duty as per his / her Varna , he will take rebirth as some animal like pig / worm etc. The concept of rebirth has been utilised to frighten people to do their jobs.
However, Buddhism doesn't believe in the version of rebirth as explained in Hinduism. According to Buddhism, rebirth is chemical recycling of elements.
So , an organism composed of carbon , hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen etc will take rebirth in another organism in the form of some other compound , according to Buddhism.
But a man will become a pig in the next birth is not propounded by Buddhism.
9 . Buddhism doesn't show you the fear of God or fear of hell, whereas the Purana are rife with examples of heaven and hell.
I am not sure which so-called propaganda Hindu book you read please provide the source for your claim so that others can get enlightened too

Nice. JAYANT KURTADIKAR ADVOCATE CHIKHALWADI CORNER NANDED
Both Buddhism and Jainism don’t believe in God. Both are atheistic man made religion. Last Tirthankar Mahavir never experienced God in his life that is why he forcibly denied existence of God, but accepted the existence of Atma (Self). That is why God is not worshipped in Jain Temples. But a temple is a special spiritual place where God is worshipped through Pujaris and there are regular aartis, prashadam, discourses on God etc. None of these are allowed in Jain Temples. Then why it is called a temple and copied like a Hindu temple in appearance? Due to this similarity of outer structures of Hindu and Jain Temples the majority of Jainis and Hindus believe that Jainism believes in God. Is not a contradiction? Will anybody clarify it?
I follow zen buddhism.
This is not the way to bring Indian schools of thought together, it is totally one sided.
how is that?
The speaker is crazy
1)Ashoka is not mentioned in the Upanishads
2) Ashoka writings are in Pali language (not Sanskrit). There existed no Sanskrit language in spoken form.
3) Romila Thappar argues with lot of evidences. The speaker must first read her book carefully
S 2 -- If so, why don't you and Romila Thappar step up to the plate and debate with Dr Nagaswamy??
Romila tha par is anglicesed historian whose view r formed from colonial times
Speaker is not crazy, he is a well renounced scholar.
1. Upanishads are far more ancient than Ashoka. How can u expect Upanishads quoting Ashoka?
2. Sanskrit language has around 1600+ words corresponding to Agriculture, Animal husbandry, Smithery etc. If Sanskrit was not spoken by all classes of people, can you tell me how Sanskrit vocabulary contains vast number of words? Just for your information the Word 'water' has 116 synonyms in Sanskrit.

Many doubts cleared.
Lot of hindus i think do not know that in the ancient india there were 2 main traditions ..1)vedic -which today so called hindusim is influenced by. ..and second is 2) Shramanic which included buddhism, jainism ,sankhya philosophy and both of these tradition were completely diffrent....infact buddha rejected the vedas because of its rituals animal sacrifice , caste system and heavily relying on gods.......now my questions to hindus is why these days u stopped sacrificing animals ...2)why did u brought buddha as 9th avatar of vishnu in 8th century by shankaracharya just to fool buddhist and convert them to vedic tradition. ...in reality it is not even mentioned in vedas that buddha is 9th avatar of vishnu. ...
There are many other examples like advianta vedanta and the list goes on...
This clearly shows which tradition influenced whom .....but the thing is that hindus have never understood buddha and it is beyond our understanding. .
absolutely correct
Tenzin negi, there are two branches of sankhya tradition. one which agree with the concept of creator and one which does not. So both the branches of sankhya cannot be considered as shramana tradition. One which bears the concept of non creator is considered as shramana tradition.
Vast majority of buddhists were massacred by the Hindus in the past as pure history tells us and a little remaining had fled to south east asian countries ."SATANS ADMINISTERING VEDAS"
Stop uttering garbage . The vedic shramanic stuff is fed by nonsensical western scholars . And for your knowledge, Samkhya accepts the vedas as one of the 3 pramanas(proofs) of their philosophy.
In fact kapila the proponent of samkhya is mentioned in upanishads and also in the gita. The jains consider their religion eternal as the Hindus do and their texts mention many of their tirthankas as relatives of hindu personalities like krishna or bharata. The follow hindu customs for the sake of following but the do not accept the vedas as one of the pramanas for its animal sacrifices. People like you think that vedas are only about rituals and prayers, but do not know there 2 kandas in the vedas. And not that the animal sacrifices have stopped, all of that is still very much in practice as it is the tamasic way of worshipping. There are svattic ways of worshipping where a fruit is sacrificed instead of an animal. The advaita school is not some thing that sprung up with Adi shankara, it is as old as vedic tradition and shankaracharya belonged to school of advaita where he was preceded by govindapada, his guru. All he did was established an organized lineage of advaitins. No where in the vedas is mention of any avatar it is in the purana we find avatars. Mention of buddha is in the bhagavat puran.Why do people like you with such little knowledge even dare to put comment
@@tenzinwangchuk4423 the classification is done as vedic or non vedic. Whether they accept creator or not does not matter as long as they have vedas as one of their pramanas. The yoga school does not accept creator but accepts ishwara or the personal God. In fact advaita vedanta denies any creation. Schools like mimamsa believe in atma but not ishwara
Buddhism and Hinduism share many similar philosophies but that doesn't mean that Buddhism is part of Hinduism as Adishankarcharya clearly did by postulating that Buddha is the 8th Avatar of Vishnu.
Apart from sharing similarities, there are also differences such as Buddhism do not believe in creation and creator. Hinduism believe in Brahma as creator and also in the caste system which Buddhism does not. There is also the different take on soul and many others.
Both are Indic religion.
First of all, buddha was regarded as 9th avatar, and regarding believing in creator and creation, only theistic schools of Hinduism do so, and there are number of non theistic school that have different philosophies. And again, the fact that you are bringing back the matter of caste system suggests that you need to update your knowledge
Caste never a part of Hinduism but the varnas which basis on the qualities Hinduism not only a religion but a way of life it is in today life too army and parties, peoples institutions like rss, vhp as KSYTRAS business under VSYAS,andSUTRAS under cibil engineer,workers,employers, students, BRHAMANS are spiritual leaders, gurus,teachers, doctors,NGOs ,scientists these are Hindu Varna's nor the Cates Cates are made to destroy hindus you first learn how beautiful hindus contains all.
@S K dont speak rubbish conversion to islam is too high than any of the religions in and its every body' s perspective which makes his own religion the best
He is professor 😂
Thank you. Most Buddhists that I know including monastics still claim that Buddhism is separate from Hinduism. I have had many long winded arguments about this fallacy. The Buddhist cosmology as outlined in the early Buddhist texts is virtually identical to the Vedic cosmology.
There are some key differences between the Buddhist understanding of the atman (Buddhism denies that the Atman exists) yet at the same time Buddhism teaches rebirth as something different than reincarnation. The ultimate goal however of escape from the samsaric round is mutual to both Buddhism and all schools of Hinduism.
Dr. R Nagaswamy sir what you say is true but your conclusion totally wrong
Vedik and shraman culture are totally different and opposite philosophy
But people are not always ready to fight
Maybe you know about Ajmer (Muslim Dargah )many Hindu people go there they believe in it
Many Muslim are believing in Kabir or Sai baba
I know some Hindu temple whose founder was Muslim who convert in Hindu ex Saradha in Gujarat
Is it mean that Hindu and Muslim have same philosophy?
Absolutely not
Know one can change original history by telling some exceptional examples
But if someone want to build Rama temple in Saket (Ayodhya) this practice needed
Ravi Rathod firstly these r not exceptions these examples r in thousands and lakhs in Indian subcontinent and in all over asia.....from many Buddhist centers of Southeast Asia like Cambodia to Buddha gaya to ajanta illora caves to srilanka to nalanda takshasila to caves of Afghanistan to even cave paintings of 2nd century AD kizil caves of northwest China you will find thousands of same type examples in every place of coexistence of vedic school of thought and Buddhism cultivating spiritual philosophy with each other unlike all Abrahamic religions of west which physically fighting bloody battles with each other on the basis of believe system in entire history for two to three thousand years.
and Muslim people going to kabir and sai baba going to get blessings or karisma of that karismatic person or saint of the past , not going depending on faith or minimum understanding of sanatana dharma as a whole or something.
and the Muslim rulers build temples whicj r only few exceptions compared to destroyed temples and Buddhist centers in which the number exceeds lakhs not just thousands .........and the most notable archeological examples of Islamic religious destruction still available today the numbers r in thousands not two or three... few examples- kutub minar complex( destroying 27 temples and Buddhist centers), kasmir Suntemple, somnath temple 18 times, ayoddha ram janma vumi, kashi viswanath temple, 4000+ temples in Kashmir from 1990s to present, pori sun temple, temples of hampi, takshasila, Nalanda etc. etc.....they destroyed great library of Alexandria........recent femous example of Islamic destruction is destruction of Bamyan buddhist center of Afghanistan....if u go through region by region and the local stories of India the list is endless.
when muslims became looters to rulers few Muslim rulers in very handful of exceptions every where theh build temples only where they needed to handle political situation or regional situation to avoid conflicts and to maintain ruling and the same rulers destroyed temples in other places converted people in other places, best example is Aurangzeb.
Lol.
No Saket existed before ayodhya .
I have cousins in ayodhya , and no Buddhist lives there .
The population is 90 % proud Hindus .
The conflict was initiated by Ashoka who used Budhism as an instrument of Empire, much as Titus Flavius did with Christianity. History manufactured to convenience in typical Time Capsule self glorification
There was no such thing as "Hindu" at that time. The Budha was an Arya of the Gautama Gothra who practiced Brahmanism. He was a Brahmin by religion and a Kshatriya by Varna who opted for Shivacharya Tantra and Sankhya Pramana.
There was no "Hinduism" at that time. There was a nation of many religions united under Aryan (Brahmin) law, the Constitutional Mantra of which is represented by the Yantra of the Swastika. This nationality came to be called Hinduism much later after it was defunct..
Original Budhism is a peculiar mythology developed from local tribal lore in different places around a core of Brahmanism. Ashokan Budhism was Imperial like the Christianity of Paul, Charlemagne and Constantine or the Islam of Mahomet and Budhist Mendicants were often Imperial spies intended to smell out dissent and Brahmanism which would then be eradicated by ruthless "Budhist" soldiers.. Pre-Ashokan Budhism which was spread through debate and preaching is nothing but Brahmanism translated to Pali and other languages.
Budha himself was an agnostic with a handful of faithful disciples whose answer to the question, "Is there Brahma"? was a half smile as he passed away. Budha was used to reform and spread Brahmanism by Brahmins. Kashyapa created Zen (good) , Koushika (Padma Sambhava) took it to Tibet. Bharadwaja took it to Japan. His statue still sits outside the great temple at Nara.
Budhism adopts the notions of Karma and Dharma that originated in the Prathamo Upanishad that was received by the Saptha Rishis (Athri, Bhrigu, Kuthsa, Vasishta, Gautama, Kashyapa and Angirasa) who are the patrilineal ancestors of the Shroutha Smartha Brahmins (I am a Kashyapa) .
While Ashoka destroyed and plundered all the Brahmin temples and guru kulas (Sarnath and theSanchi Stupa are now the oldest buildings in his erstwhile empire), the Budhist temples of Japan, which predate Ashokan Budhism, sport the Swastika of Aryavarta Dharma rather than the Chakra of Ashoka, (So do India's Jain temples).
Japan is a classic case which has been immune to political mythology masquerading as History thanks to their Shinto-Kojiki culture which passes mouth to ear from guru to shishya as does the Shroutha Smartha tradition.
The ancient Shinto-Budhist Sanju Sangendo Hall of Warriors at Kyoto has 12 foot high bronze statues of the Dasha Dikpalaka of Brahmanism. The not so ancient Asakusa Budhist Temple (near Tokyo) has enormous stone statues of Virinchi (Mahasthana Praptha), and Narayana (Amithabha) installed in the garden outside the Shinto Shrine to those who built the temple and Shankara (Avalokiteshwara or Kannon) is the principal deity. These are the trinity of Gunas that come from Savitur,the Light of Surya (the Sun) which is itself formed from the light of Brahma (Mitra common to Zoroastrianism and the now exterminated Gnostic Christianity-though the Mitre head dress derives its name from the original Mitra) in Brahmanism.
Indra, Varuna, Rahu and Kethu guard the gates at Asakusa Temple and the temple main shrine is emblazoned with an enormous Saffron Swastika at its rear which all traditional worshipers pay obeisance to during perambulations. There is a separate shrine for Lalitha that looks as if it was directly transplanted from interior Kerala, which indicates that this temple was constructed post Dravido-Aryan integration (Atharva Veda period) and pre Ashokan.
Thailand is also an interesting point here. While the majority of the population follow pre-Ashokan Budhism (distinguished by the Swasthika of Aryavartha Dharma), the State Religion is Brahmanism, and the King, Bhoomipala Athulyatheja, is an Arya Kshatriya who follows Brahmanism. So was the late Nara Utham Sihanouk of Cambodia. Budhism in India was destroyed in the backlash to Ashoka but prospered elsewhere.
But later Ashoka himself adopted Buddhism. Though he could never attain Nirvana but still.
Wow never read such misinterpretation of facts at this much amount, you must really be good at it.
all these fake bullshit. what are your references?
Buddha practiced and propagated brahminical religion? Where are your sources for this stupidity? The guy even went as far to reject vedas altogether and called them unnecessary for philosophical inquiry. How can you then say he practiced Brahmanism?
Haha....
Buddha was not an avatar of Vishnu. The Hindus made it up because they can not stand it that Buddha found another way of liberation. Buddha was against the Vedas, against the priests. To BUddha the priest were blinds leading the blinds.
So what that man is doing is trying to bring Buddha back into the fold of Hinduism. Yes, Ashoka , as a ruler, had to tolerate all the other sects, but he converted to Buddhism.
That's made up thing brother
Especially I won't believe when it is stated by leftist historians
See this th-cam.com/video/i9TEslTqc-s/w-d-xo.html
Buddha was scientist of mind. If you spend time denying something you end up being Muhammad.In ancient India liberation was one of the important goals. There was no conversion factory.
I came here expecting a secular and independent analysis of differences between Vedic philosophy and Buddha's philosophy. E.g. concepts of dvaita-advaita, atman, brahman, reincarnation, Karma, caste system, the debate between Adi Shankara and the Buddhists, and the gradual decline of Buddhism in India, etc.
I found none.
There cannot be any philosophical differences between Vedic Sanatana Dharma and Buddhism because they are built upon the same 4 core principles: Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. They paths are different but philosophy is same.
Caste system is not mentioned in sanatan dharma we have four varnas based on their work , caste is the wepoen used by Western religions to destroyed eastern cultures
Why he is spreading lies ?
the Buddha was never a mythological figure as Rama & Hanuman but very much a historical figure.
Gautama Buddha was a real human being....He was not a mythological figure like Lord Vishnu or Parshuram.
Just...You cannot say that....Guru Gobind Singh is the Avatar of Vishnu...
You cannot say that Mahavir Jain is the Avatar of Vishnu
If Sikhism and Jainism are different than Hindu...then why not Buddhism ?? Why mixing up historical figure with Mythological figure.
Why can't you accept the uniqueness of Buddhism religion ? Hindus shouldn't mix both.
You should also answer, Why Buddhism disappeared from India after 12th century ?
Coz after 12th century mugal came sneaky people they turned Muslim.
