I would call our country 'Buddhist India': PM Modi

There's a simple experiment to prove the existence of gravity, jump from a building, and update me on the status.

Sorry, that would not explain gravity but laws of gravity.

Hinduism is a big umbrella for many kind of philosophies .Hinduism has prominent and very respected branches which are monotheist. Hinduism not idol worship only although it does not prevent that like Islam.

Monoetheism in Vedas :


1. VEDIC MONOTHEISM : Vedic philosophy revolves round singularity of God. There is no mention of plurality of God in Vedas. Vedic religion is pure unadulterated Monotheism. According to Hoy Vedas, God is one, not many :
Verily He is one
Single, indivisible, supreme reality.
- Atharva Veda Verse No. 13/4/20

He is the sole sovereign
Of the universe.
- Rig Veda Verse No. 6/36/4

He is one, unparalleled
Through His wondrous, mighty
And formidable laws and deeds.
- Rig Veda Verse No. 8/1/27

There is only One
Who ought to be adored
By the people.
- Atharva Veda Verse No. 2/2/1

So you will be surprised to know that the concept of monotheism is not originated from Abrahamic religion. It existed 5000 years ago during the age of Rigveda

You will also be surprised to know that atheism is also a recognized and approved in Hinduism-

"Atheism (Sanskrit: निरीश्वरवाद, nir-īśvara-vāda, lit. "statement of no Lord", "doctrine of godlessness") or disbelief in God or gods has been a historically propounded viewpoint in many of the orthodox and heterodox streams of Hindu philosophies.----

Hinduism is a religion, but also a philosophy.[5][6] Among the various schools of Hindu philosophy, Samkhya, Yoga and Mimamsa while not rejecting either the the Vedas or the Brahman ,[7] typically reject a personal God, creator God, or a God with attributes. While Samkhya and Yoga rejected the idea of an eternal, self-caused, creator God, Mimamsa argued that the Vedas could not have been authored by a deity."
Atheism in Hinduism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

That's silly. You eat plants & fishes, don't you?

You didn't get the point. Republic of India likes to label it as this, as that, but it is not. This time, your PM labels it as Buddhist India, wow.

 

[Bang Galore]

Even?? Why do you think Ms. Thapar who otherwise is anti-Hindu(as Sanghis say) would do that? If her accounts about history of India is wrong/manipulated, then this shouldn't be believed either. No?

That was for @jamahir & his known inclination towards the left. I'm not suggesting the evidence is very clear one way or the other but that Buddhists texts alone cannot be the determining factor because of the known loss of patronage that occurred. (btw, are you suggesting I'm a "Sanghi"....)

Pushyamitra or other tormentors of Buddhists were not the only reason for their diminishing in India but were definitely one of the reasons.

Difficult to argue that Pushyamitra Shunga caused great damage to Buddhism because the records are very clear that Buddhism not only survived but thrived for about 800-900 years after that time before it went to a slow decline. After all, Nagarjuna, the greatest philosopher of Buddhism post Buddha lived ,practiced and taught his teachings about 400 years after Pushyamitra Shunga.

The decline had many reasons, including a sustained campaign of Hindu revival started by Adi Shanka including the assimilation of Buddhist thoughts & practices into Hinduism. The Muslim invasions were but the last straw because the Buddhists were more easily identifiable as also the fact that Buddhism's base & following was in the urban centres in contrast with Hinduism.
Were there Hindu kings who mighty have carried out campaigns against Buddhists?
Quite possible but that impact was local at best, there is no evidence to suggest any national impact.

You didn't get the point. Republic of India likes to label it as this, as that, but it is not. This time, your PM labels it as Buddhist India, wow.

The labels of the republic of India are in its constitution The Prime Minister of India made a remark in a more general context.

 

[utraash]

i don't know about that precise number ( 10,000 ) but this is what i read just now...

from ( The facts or mindblowing facts of Nalanda University - Quora )...
Nalanda was ransacked and destroyed by an army under Bakhtiyar Khilji in 1193.Bakhtiyar khilji Destroyed the university thinking that it as Fort of the empire.

a mistake, obviously... and buddhism is closer to islam... i consider buddha a prophet.
s.

Sorry Islam is no where close to any dharmic religion...... Islamic teachings are in direct contradictions with Buddhist/dharmic philosophy....... He never had to wage a war to make ppl believe in Buddhist philosophy, he never had to chop hands of ppl n call it duty of religion, he never had to invent mathematical calculations of sharing war booty in Buddhist philosophy.... Buddha intended to create a philosophy not a new religion.....
Btw Buddha is considered 10th incarnation of lord Vishnu n Gautama Buddha was himself was Hindu.....

 

[GURU DUTT]

I don't consider it a good idea to paint everything hindu or hindu related. Let the distinct religions flourish, don't label them hindu just to please yourself. The Budhists nor the Jains like this behavior not to mention the Khalistani Sikhs.

when did i label them hindu ... TT sir

just a humble advise when there is nothing to say an able and intellegent person like you should remain quite .... cheers mate

Look wannabe Arab.. Worshipping nature is a remnant of the ancient practices that has evolved into modern day Sanatana Dharma.
Don't talk about stuff you gave no idea about and things your madrassa pea brain can't begin to comprehend. Hell, I'm sure you won't even understand this due to evolutionary retardation.

Now, observe me reply in kind: at-least we don't going condoning everything from paedophilia, to cannibalism to rape and slavery in the name of jihad.. Shame on You..

See what I did there jackass? Of course I don't mean it (to all the sensible members)... But this is exactly how flame wars and shit start..

Looks like Modi want's more influence in SEA and EA.

No one here is arguing that quantum physics works the same way as macroscopic elements work. A brick is not a house but a house is made up of bricks. But the analogy fails here because the house is not just made up of bricks but other elements too. Whereas the universe is made up of nothing but subatomic particles adhering to the principles of quantum physics.

I do not know what it is solipsism or whatever you claim it is. I looked up the meaning, it says being selfish. That is an odd argument to bring in - Me being selfish by claiming the world is a quantum reality.

No, the physicists are very clear in what they said. The very video I provided to you had the scientist claiming in an audience full of physicist without being challenged, this universe does not exist. That we are like a computer simulation. The understanding of our world is classic in the sense humans understand it, but the reality of the world is Quantum. Hindus and Buddhists had no problem whatsoever wraping their mind around it. It is only the Abrahmists who have a difficulty wraping their mind around it.

Solipsism(Brain in a jar,matrix simulation) it basically means..we have no way of knowing if anything but our mind exits....our reality might be a computer simulation....we might be a brain in a jar hooked to a supercomputer which is simulating our reality...again all of these premises are unproven...so even if Hindus and Buddhists could wrap there minds around it it still would not be true until proven...therefore PROVE IT!

I already posted the video proving it mathematically. Go through the whole video and then come up with a counter argument.

Also there are millions of yogis, sadhus, gurus in India who have experientially confirmed that to be the case. The Buddhists and Hindus were not arguing over mathematical formula but what they perceived through their meditation, tantra, yogic practices.

I would rather prefer research papers...I am sure they are available from reputed universities and reputed scientsits!

Typical cop out!!!

He quotes from physics textbooks and research papers. That room is full of physicists and other scientists from reputable universities. It is not our Bengal or Kerala corner. Ultimately, he comes to the conclusion that other physicists came about Quantum physics.

Here is a video of a yogi in deep meditation unbroken for 13 days. He is there next to a glacier in scant clothes. There are other yogis in India who go on for months together without moving from their positions. Not eating, not drinking, not waking up, not passing urine or stool. Just in deep meditation. How is that medically tenable?
