Telugus/Deccan south built half the spine of Buddhist philosophy. Nāgārjuna in Andhra, father of Madhyamaka. By tradition the line that carried it forward was southern too: Buddhapālita, Candrakīrti, Bhāviveka who founded Svātantrika, and Dharmakīrti, the summit of pramāṇa. Centuries later the humanist secular Theosophist-inspired Buddhists led by Annie Besant tried to crown a Telugu boy from Madanapalle as the next Maitreya. His Telugu intellect saw straight through them. In 1929 Jiddu Krishnamurti dissolved their entire Order of the Star with one line: truth is a pathless land. Telugus used to be so smart.

How is it that these people completely lack any sort of academic integrity? Apparently David Lorenzen, Lawrence A. Babb, Wendy Doniger, Gabriella Eichinger Ferro-Luzzi, Alf Hiltebeitel, Cynthia Talbot, Thomas Trautmann, Peter van der Veer and so on are "Whatsapp historians"



read the entire thing, dont just pick pieces. I dont even care whether the proto-siva is the current one or not atleast for this argumentsake, The rest still stands the same. whether you pick LM Joshi or some other author that suits your narrative, you cant makeup a 4 century gap void.


Kashi in Italy! Giampaolo Tomassetti, an Italian painter, presented his work on Varanasi to Prime Minister @narendramodi. In the 1980’s he started as an illustrator for books on Vedic culture. From 2008 to 2013 he worked on 23 large paintings relating to the Mahabharat.

Do you know what ayyappa is called, idiot? Dharma Sāsta ..








It was to dismantle influence of Buddhism which was pushing youngsters towards celibacy Erotic art was a means to wane Buddhist propaganda & get youth to be interested towards sex so that there is no population decline Dont compare it with modern degeneracy
