Yes definitely, those hearing impaired dancers are quite pretty as well.

Oh indeed they are, one need to be blind for not noticing that!

Not really. Hinduism at that time relied heavily on animal sacrifices & Buddha was himself a non-vegetarian (partial to pork) and there was no ban on eating meat. That thought came from the Jains

I think it comes from ayurveda and yoga
Sattvic diet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yup! A thread that turned religious, but had zero trolling, and interesting discussions.... on pdf! Buddha truly is great!


Regarding Buddha being a Vishnu Avatar, there are many puranas that talk about a "buddha" perhaps there are many people called buddhas...it basically refers to enlightened/learned ones.

Here is one that I remember SB 1.3.24 | Bhaktivedanta Vedabase Online

There are some beautiful and out of the world monasteries in Leh and Ladakh. Also if you go to Lahul and Spiti in Himachal Pradesh. See them once and you can never forget. So fanatically peaceful

A proud moment for us ,Indians.
If that damned Bakhtiar Khiji dont destroyed this university.It might still remain as the advanced university in the world.

Your first part was exactly similar to mine!!! Intellectual theft

What do I say? There was something about the kind of minds that think alike........Hmm...

We cant do that.Nalanda had 1500 years old when it was destroyed by that cursed khilji .
Our generation may not enough for that.

What's done is done. Can't help it.

(This time) We can screw this up on our own. Let's hope we don't do that.

I thought it was implemented at the time of Chandragupta and chanakya and if Ashoka was buddhist why he didn't abolish the cast system??

Cate system came into use immediately after the Rig veda and had hardened by the time of the Mahabharata.

Asoka was Buddhist but you must remember that he was a King, not necessarily a great preacher of equality position. Caste was ingrained, abolishing it was never going to be easy.

Bro, just imagine about that Nalanda University (if that destruction not happened),in this 2014 .A university having more than 2500 years old with invaluable study materials in its library of 2500 years old.I would die try for entrance if that Saraswati temple still remain

There is no trolling on this thread because only the like minded folks are here. The trolls are busy on the thread of protests, demands for resignation!! This thread is way too peaceful to their liking!!

The place where I live has the famous (now ruins) Martand Sun Temple. It was also destroyed because it was a place of idol worship. We can't change the past - only learn from it. The present is what we can control. Let's do that

This temple should be reconstructed as well. All these broken structures of the past are still part of our identity/history!!

@Bang Galore @SarthakGanguly @Capt.Popeye

engaging discussion gentlemen. One of the more refined conversations here. I take my leave of you know. Got to hit the hay

You're welcome.
Discussions like this are very refreshing even enlightening without getting into the realm of bigotry and dogmatism.
And we have so many great contributors like @Chinese-Dragon, @Gibbs and @Nihonjin1051 (among others) helping us to learn something.
