    "Buddhism, the rebel child of the Vedic religion and philosophy, denied God and the soul, laid the axe at the very roots of Vedic thought and posed a great danger to its very survival…."

    "" ...The antics of Adi Shankara in the 8th century assuming he was born in 788 and died in 820 CE are well known and part of history. Sankara postulated the Vedas as authority; and hence was ranked as a Sanatani. TRUE !!


    Later on, the priestly class appropriated this and Max Muller called it Hinduism. Thus Hinduism dates back to to the 8th century...

    ==================>

    In this it is clearly stated Sankara was of 788 AD.

    We have been discussing Revered Acharya Ramanuja to be of early 11th Century - an indicated birth around 1010 AD - and not earlier.

    Adi Shankara, along with Madhva and Ramanuja, was
    instrumental in the revival of Hinduism through aggressive and violent means "

    HOW ABSURD THIS STATEMENT LOOKS !!

    In 8th Century - we have Sambandar ( who is quoted by Adi Sankara) - Appar and Sundara !!

    Where is violence or aggression in Hinudism ??

    Ramanuja's period is supposedly Rajendra I through Kulothunga I.

    Rajendra - also gave grants to Nagai Buddha Vihar like his father.
    His mercantile ambassador was respected in China in 1015 AD.

    How can a Chinese Emperor allocate place in China to constructa Siva temple - if Rajendra destroyed Buddha Vihars in India ?

    HOW MUCH ARE THE HISTORICAL FACTS TWISTED AND TORN ?

    painful.

    Dear Satish,

    What to do.. even if painful,
    we should record our objections atleast.

    Or atleast put DISAGREEABLE to the Contents in this Article.

    Tmrw when the subject is searched,

    our objections also MAY surface !!
