Gautama Buddha was a lichavi chieftain. His birthplace is Lumbini in Current day Nepal. Buddhism was exported to south Asian and south East Asians from India. In India starting from Gupta period there was a revival of Hinduism as we know it. Later Adi Shankara, defeating Buddhist scholars in debates was instrumental in eclipsing Buddhism in India. Bhakti saints in Maharashtra, Karnataka and tamilnadu etc spread Hinduism even wider. As Jainism, Buddhism and several other faiths had dominated the indian landscape for several centuries, they in turn gave way to what we now practice as Hinduism.

Thank you for the many stories on Buddhist relics. I would love to revisit India in this life to see the sites mentioned.

Justinian describes the story of India's liberation as follows. “India after the death of Alexander, the natives had shaken the yoke of servitude from its neck and put his governors to death. The author of this liberation was Sandrocottus (Chandragupta)...”. It was the legendary Buddhist King Ashokas' grandfather, Chandragupta Maurya, who annihilated the combined forces of Macedonians and their Aryan/Hindu allies and founded the Maurya Dynasty in 322 BCE. Chandragupta Maurya is the ONLY KING IN RECORDED HISTORY TO DO THIS: In atonement for the hundreds of thousands of people he ordered killed, even though they wanted to re-enslave Black people through the evil Aryan/Hindu Caste System. He renounced his kingdom, his wealth, and power in 289 BCE. In 287 BCE, at a Jain Monastery at Karnataka, he performed "Sallekhana" - the Jain spiritual atonement ritual of suicide by fasting. The Mauryas spread the "Uddha" (Teachings of the Bu-Uddha) across the planet, not the indo-Aryan Gahnharas. The 'Gandhara Buddhas' (1st century BCE to the 6th century CE) ARE NOT the oldest statues of the Bu-Uddha (3:41). The Ajanta Caves are ancient Buddhist Temples adorned with intricate sculptures and paintings and are 'incorrectly' traced back to the 2nd century BCE. Ajanta dates back to the Maurya Dynasty, as they exhibit a mastery of elements of the "Sacred Science" that the Guptas, to whom they are erroneously attributed, never attained. The oldest rock-cut architecture in India is the "Barabar Caves," at Bihar. Like Ajanta, they were built around the 3rd century BCE, during the Maurya Dynasty. They also contain numerous statues of the Bu-Uddha as he originally looked, Black-skinned, with full features, and kinky hair. The teachings of the "Bu-Uddha" (One-Annointed) have their origins in "Mel-Uddha" (not 'Meluhha,' which is an Akkadian mistranslation), also known today as "Indus Kush" and Indus Valley Civilization. Mel-Uddha means the "Land of Uddha," where everyone was a Bu-Uddha. Their "Civilization" (the truest sense of the word), which was 'rebuilt' after the flooding subsided around 7600 BCE (Rakhigarhi), thrived for 5800 years WITHOUT, Kings, Gods, Rich people, or WARS. This is why Ashoka the Great built Stupas atop their ancient cities that were abandoned during the Aryan invasions some 1300 years earlier. To relay to future generations the Consonance between the teachings of Mel-Uddha and those of the Bu-Uddha (and the 'old' Jains). We have entered a New Age, the "Age of Civilized Beings." The "Dogs of War" cannot stop the Time. Like us, they, too, must transform or imminently self-destruct. The difference between a "Technologically Advanced Savage" and a "Civilized Being" is the latter embraces 100% of their genotypic self (not merely the 1 to 2.75% of Neanderthal genes many carry), and the "Primordial Organizing Principle of Civilized Beings," embraced by the Civilized Beings of Mel-Uddha, Kemit, and the other members of the "Previous Worldwide Civilization," "Collective Empathy for ALL Spirits based on Expanded Perception of the One Law." Knowledge of which is expressed through the "Sacred Science."
At 3:30 you say that the Kushanas were descendants of the Alexander's Satrapis, but that is not true. Alexander's Bactria was conquered by the Kushanas who were actually a central asian (or Türkic?) tribe east of Samarkhand. Kushanas absorbed the local indo-greek culture of course. The history from that period is very cool. THere are sculptures of Buddha being protected by Herakles.
I am utterly shocked that the animator said that Kushans were Indo-greeks. The Kushans were the most prominent of the five Yuezhi tribes that came to India from Gansu province of China through Central Asia. Mistake of this magnitude was not expected from a channel like this
While Yuezhi were from what has become China today, they were culturally Indo-European (Greco-Bactrian). Their culture was syncretic and characterising them as Indo-Greek is not incorrect.
@@asiddababa No you are wrong. They adopted some indian and indo-greek cultural attributes after they descended to Bactria but their tribal structure, language and genes have nothing to do with the Indo-Greeks. The animator labelled the Kushanas as an "indo-greek dynasty" which is objectively incorrect. By your logic, even Ashoka is indo-greek because he used greek as the official language in north west india
I am really enjoying these videos.while i was in patna,Bihar.

1. Recent Historians (Pro Hindu) counter the argument of Ashokha laying down the arms after seeing the destruction of Kalinga war. It is said that Ashoka already accepted the Buddism before that war. Contemporary Jain literature supports this argument.
Left out how Flinders Petrie unearthed an Indian Buddha figure at the Memphis Ptah ( Buddha / Ptah) dated to the time of Cambyses (535 b.c.) Cambyses is the namesake of the Buddhist Kambojas of Balk the Buddhists converted during the time of Cambyses
A ship load of amravati marbles were being shipped to England by Lord Elgin. The ship with the heavy load of precious material bound for the British Musuem, sank far out at sea off the coast of Lanka. It is in very deep water. This was a totally unwanted shipping by a greed driven individual.
A small correction is that the kushans didn't belonged to any indo greek dynasties . They were belonged to yuzhies ( A tribe which used to reside in Xiognu region of modern china ) but they later migrated towards central asia and then they reached india .

@@sowmitriswamy6718 it's widely accepted fact in archaeological circle that gandhara and probably even gandhari of Mahabharat was based near Peshawar. River valleys near Peshawar has ruins supporting that hypothesis. Kandhahar name from gandhara is propoganda fiction
@@sowmitriswamy6718 Alexander made a city near kandhahar called Alexandria in arachodia which became iskandar then to scandar to Kandahar. That is widely accepted name origin history Gandhara civilization is older than Alexander
You are doing a very good job. The only problem is that , like many others you take it for granted that before Buddhism there was a Hindu religion. Which is not true. There is no historical evidence that before Buddha there was something like Hinduism. Hindu religion came in much later. Could be after 1000 CE. Even if there was something before Buddha, it was not Hinduism. There are no temples found of other hindu gods before Buddha. Please get rid of the presumptions. You are doing a great job!
Please stop this nitpicking. Let us postulate that before Buddhism there was no Hindusim, only Tamil gods, no Sanskrit, only Tami,l no Vedas only Sangam literature, no cities elsewhere except for those in Tamil Nadu, where the Ganga was a minor stream, whiel the kaveri flowed like an ocean but only from the point where it enters Tamil country. I hope that satisfies you. If it does not make your own video where you put forth your claims as the one and only truth.
Buddhism was found AFTER Hinduism...and that is totally okay...You can see by Buddha's life story that Hinduism was already there. But it doesn't matter. The correct path doesn't have to be the oldest path.
6:04 are you sure ? Please give me evidence They are hindu They use pakit language They made stupa chaitya & cave of Buddha They are not hindu They don't make any hindu temple why?
The research is poor: 1. asoka was buddhists before Kalinga war. 2. After Kalinga war he killed thousands ajeevikas in Bengal. Most of he peaceful story is propaganda. He used buddhism a tool to change people narrative against him who use to call him chand Ashok. Buddhist have was used by all king a tool for propaganda they received huge wealth from these kings specially foreign invaders.
@@sowmitriswamy6718 he kindoff saying the truth during Islamic invasion Buddhists supported muslim invasion against Hindus see Bodhisattva video it is a Buddhist channel search why Buddhism declined in India.
Please correct your history lesson. Asoka already became a buddhist by the time of the Kalinga war. So save the 'peaceful' buddhist comment for some other day.
Kushans are not Indo Greeks, they are Hepthalites or Kidarites. I Chinese historians and records identify them as Yuezhi from Gansu and Ningxia provinces of China. I know feel that this whole channel is bogus and lost credibility. It is quite common to obfuscate and push under the carpet of the impact of altaics in India especially North India.
Satvahana are Brahmins you can check in Wikipedia the thing is they followed a mix culture which has Buddhists and hindu figures but satvahanas are mentioned as brahmins
The Satavahanas were Hindus and claimed Brahmanical status,[3] although they also made generous donations to Buddhist monasteries.[106] The lay people in the Satavahana period perhaps generally did not exclusively support a particular religious group .[77] The Naneghat inscription of Nayanika, recorded on the walls of a cave, mentions that her husband Satakarni I performed several Vedic sacrifices, including ashvamedha (horse sacrifice), rajasuya (royal consecration), and agnyadheya (fire ceremony).[107] The inscription also records substantial fees paid to Brahmin priests and attendees for these sacrifices. For example, 10,001 cows were granted for the Bhagala-Dasaratra sacrifice; and 24,400 coins were granted for another sacrifice, whose name is not clear.[108]
@@privilegedindiansrworsthum8408 However, Carla M. Sinopoli notes that although there are some records of donations to the Buddhist monasteries by the Satavahana royals, the vast majority of the donations were made by the non-royals. The most common among these donors were merchants, and many of the monasteries were located along the important trade routes.[98] The merchants probably donated to the monasteries, because these sites facilitated trade by serving as rest houses, and possibly by directly participating in the trade.[3] The monasteries appear to have been an important venue for displaying charitable donations, including the donations made to non-Buddhists (especially Brahmins).[106]
Hi. i would like to raise a point here. As per my knowledge and the Mauryan related context that i have read so far. Ashok started following Buddhism much before the Kalinga war and it is also not true that he is preached non-violence after this war as it is evident that there were wars post the kalinga war as well. This is a very common misconception about the story of Kalinga war and ashoka because this protrays Ashok as someone who became Gandhi from being a Ruthless conqueror. Its a story that everyone likes and would want it to be that way, but history should always be factual or else it looses its credibility. Kindly cross check this information and correct me if im wrong. For now, im going to dislike this video but keep up the good work. Thank you.
@@rockdstone4863 who said Asoka was hindu🤣🤣 his father followed ajivikism, so ge was born as ajivik. There is one cave in bihar it is made with granite stone. Go and see

They “allowed” Buddhism. ? Really? Please show hindu god statues and temples found from the same period.
You can’t, which means they were Buddhist.

Correction: Gandhara civilization was not based in Kandahar in Afghanistan.
Gandhara was based around Peshawar and Swat valley in Pakistan
It most likely got its name from Kandahar. Remember, Queen Gandhari from the Mahabharata came from this region.
@@sowmitriswamy6718 it's widely accepted fact in archaeological circle that gandhara and probably even gandhari of Mahabharat was based near Peshawar.
River valleys near Peshawar has ruins supporting that hypothesis.
Kandhahar name from gandhara is propoganda fiction
@@sowmitriswamy6718 Alexander made a city near kandhahar called Alexandria in arachodia which became iskandar then to scandar to Kandahar.
That is widely accepted name origin history
Gandhara civilization is older than Alexander

You are doing a very good job. The only problem is that , like many others you take it for granted that before Buddhism there was a Hindu religion. Which is not true. There is no historical evidence that before Buddha there was something like Hinduism. Hindu religion came in much later. Could be after 1000 CE. Even if there was something before Buddha, it was not Hinduism. There are no temples found of other hindu gods before Buddha. Please get rid of the presumptions. You are doing a great job!
Please stop this nitpicking. Let us postulate that before Buddhism there was no Hindusim, only Tamil gods, no Sanskrit, only Tami,l no Vedas only Sangam literature, no cities elsewhere except for those in Tamil Nadu, where the Ganga was a minor stream, whiel the kaveri flowed like an ocean but only from the point where it enters Tamil country. I hope that satisfies you. If it does not make your own video where you put forth your claims as the one and only truth.
@@sowmitriswamy6718 Thank you so much. I got it. Please don't be angry. You all are making nice videos. All the very best.
Buddhism was found AFTER Hinduism...and that is totally okay...You can see by Buddha's life story that Hinduism was already there. But it doesn't matter. The correct path doesn't have to be the oldest path.
@@sowmitriswamy6718 yes you are right brother
They want capture buddha & Tamil history by making us so called hindu & ➗ into 4 Varna

They don't make any hindu temple why?
Satavahana kings were Hindus but the queens followed Buddhism
😂😂 who told you this? All the satavhana Kings are VAJRAYANI BUDDIST in Maharshtra we Have the BUDDIST caves build by satavhana Kings.
@@sidhantkamble5191Yes, Shatavahana queens were mostly Buddhists and liberally donated for vihara's and stupa's.
They tell you fake story & fake history
Sātavāhana was Buddhist
Buddhism is not different from so called Hinduism - that idea of difference was created by the British.
Why hold responsible British for everything? They both are different is told by many historians and archeologists and philosophies.
Get out you Lindu 😏
Buddhism is Buddhism
Linduism is capturing buddha day by day (fake story of linduism)
If you are a Hindu, you need not take it for granted that there was a Hindu religion before any other religion in India!
Hindu King?
Kushanas were not greek
The research is poor:
1. asoka was buddhists before Kalinga war.
2. After Kalinga war he killed thousands ajeevikas in Bengal.
Most of he peaceful story is propaganda.
He used buddhism a tool to change people narrative against him who use to call him chand Ashok.
Buddhist have was used by all king a tool for propaganda they received huge wealth from these kings specially foreign invaders.
So you are the only one who can separate truth from propaganda, and you have chosen to reveal the truth as a comment in a UA-cam video.
@@sowmitriswamy6718 he kindoff saying the truth during Islamic invasion Buddhists supported muslim invasion against Hindus see Bodhisattva video it is a Buddhist channel search why Buddhism declined in India.
@@sowmitriswamy6718 yup also I put chilly on willy & force every hindu hatred, anti national, leftist & zihadi to comment like headless chicken.
@@sowmitriswamy6718lol😂😂😂
Please correct your history lesson. Asoka already became a buddhist by the time of the Kalinga war. So save the 'peaceful' buddhist comment for some other day.
It is peer reviewed by many foreign archeologists and historians. Don't spread misinformation.
@@fazer79 What evidence did the FOREIGN archeologists find? where is the proof?
Kushans are not Indo Greeks, they are Hepthalites or Kidarites. I Chinese historians and records identify them as Yuezhi from Gansu and Ningxia provinces of China. I know feel that this whole channel is bogus and lost credibility. It is quite common to obfuscate and push under the carpet of the impact of altaics in India especially North India.
Right... satavahanas were hindus but let buddhism flourish lol. why try hinduization of buddhist or jain kings 😅
Yeah satvahan were buddhist kings
Satvahana are Brahmins you can check in Wikipedia the thing is they followed a mix culture which has Buddhists and hindu figures but satvahanas are mentioned as brahmins
The Satavahanas were Hindus and claimed Brahmanical status,[3] although they also made generous donations to Buddhist monasteries.[106] The lay people in the Satavahana period perhaps generally did not exclusively support a particular religious group .[77]
The Naneghat inscription of Nayanika, recorded on the walls of a cave, mentions that her husband Satakarni I performed several Vedic sacrifices, including ashvamedha (horse sacrifice), rajasuya (royal consecration), and agnyadheya (fire ceremony).[107] The inscription also records substantial fees paid to Brahmin priests and attendees for these sacrifices. For example, 10,001 cows were granted for the Bhagala-Dasaratra sacrifice; and 24,400 coins were granted for another sacrifice, whose name is not clear.[108]
@@privilegedindiansrworsthum8408 However, Carla M. Sinopoli notes that although there are some records of donations to the Buddhist monasteries by the Satavahana royals, the vast majority of the donations were made by the non-royals. The most common among these donors were merchants, and many of the monasteries were located along the important trade routes.[98] The merchants probably donated to the monasteries, because these sites facilitated trade by serving as rest houses, and possibly by directly participating in the trade.[3] The monasteries appear to have been an important venue for displaying charitable donations, including the donations made to non-Buddhists (especially Brahmins).[106]
Firstly there is no specific religion tag in that time people follow mix culture.
Hi. i would like to raise a point here. As per my knowledge and the Mauryan related context that i have read so far. Ashok started following Buddhism much before the Kalinga war and it is also not true that he is preached non-violence after this war as it is evident that there were wars post the kalinga war as well. This is a very common misconception about the story of Kalinga war and ashoka because this protrays Ashok as someone who became Gandhi from being a Ruthless conqueror. Its a story that everyone likes and would want it to be that way, but history should always be factual or else it looses its credibility. Kindly cross check this information and correct me if im wrong. For now, im going to dislike this video but keep up the good work. Thank you.
Sanjeev Sanyal research also adds this
Yes, Ashoka was Hindus, while the religion came into existence around 700-1200 AD.
@@shankarjhanwar yes, that garbage BJP historian.
