LORD BUDDHA: A GREAT REVOLUTIONARY OF THE WORLD
The
Buddha was not a simple religious teacher as like present day Maharajas,
Fathers or Swamijis He did not simply sit under a tree with his eyes
closed. He did not done anything like simpe Meditation, Yoga
or some other kind of praying. He was the Word’s first great Revolutionary. He led
a huge revolution in ancient India, which had suppressed the Brahmin rule. To overthrow Brahmanism, He denied each and every
aspect of ti. He denied the God. He denied the Brahmanical foolish concepts like
Soul, Heaven-Hell, etc. He educated the Shudras i.e. the native (or
Mulnivasi) Bahujan Indians who are present day SC, ST, and OBC’s and Converted
minorities (i.e. Muslims, Sikhs, Buddhsts, Jains, Christians, Lingayats, etc)
in India.
(Note: From hence forth, some terms will come
repeatedly. E.g. “Mulnivasi” is a term coined by Mahatma Jotirao Phule for “the native Indians”
and his term is widely used by BAMCEF, which means, “native” in English. The
tem “Bahujan” was used by the Buddha for the Shudras which means “majority”.
Since, the Buddha used this term for Indian Shudras. So, instead of using
frequently the long term of “Shudras i.e. Mulnivasi (i.e. native) Bahujan
Indians”. I will used the term as “the Shudra Indians”. The Brahmins had enslaved all the native (i.e.
mulnivasi) Indians, who were in majority (i.e. 85% of the total Indian
population) as the Shudra Hence, here, the term “Shudra Indians” is used.)
The Brahmins distorted real history of the Buddha
and told a wrong story about Him.
Briefly, it goes like this:
1. The Buddha saw a
sick man.
2. The Buddha saw a suffering old man.
3. The Buddha saw a dead man.
4. The Buddha saw an ascetic.
Later, He sat below a tree and started Meditation.
Suddenly, He got enlightened and become the Ninth
Avatar (i.e. incarnation) of God Vishnu, who is a Brahmin God.
This is an absolutely stupid and baseless story
composed by Brahmins to misguide Shudra Indians.
The actual history of the Buddha was like this:-
The Buddha was born in 563 B.C. in India. He
belonged to the SAKHYA Gana. (Gana’s were the tribal Republics in an ancient
Indian).
The Brahmins had enslaved Shudra Indians as their
slaves and had made their lives miserable. People were suffering due to
atrocities of and invander Brahmins on them. Since, the Brahmins were robbing
Indians. They were happy as like today’s Capitalists; thought the Brahmins were
in minority in population.
The Buddha decided to free Shudra Indians from the
atrocities of these invader Brahmins. The Brahmins had enslaved native Indians with
the help of their religious ideology of Brahmanism and stared calling them as
the Shudra. The native Indians had not their own religion, that’s why, they
were suffering. The Buddha decided to free these Shudra Indians from
the Brahminical slavery by offering them a good humanistic religion.
To create a religion was a very difficult task at
the time of the Buddha. The Brahmins had restricted all the religious knowledge
to themselves only. If any non Brahmins wanted to gain this knowledge, then the
condition of Brahmins was that, he must leave his home and he must become an
ascetic.
The
Buddha was known as Siddhartha before his enlightenment. Siddhartha had no
other option but to leave His home, if He wants to achieve His goal. So under big tension, He left his home to
liberate His peoples from the slavery of Brahmins and their Brahmanism.
Initially, Siddhartha’ parents couldn’t understand
Him and His objective properly; otherwise, they would have helped Him in his
noble work. They simply wanted that, their son should become a king greater
than His father. So, they adopted every possible means to keep Siddhartha
attached to His surroundings. They kept
Him in very luxurious and happy life.
But Siddhartha was much warred about the miserable life of his people
. He was sure that, the only way to get
freedom to His people was to do a social revolution in India to bring a change
in social system.
To
engage Him further in His life, Siddhartha’s parents done His marriage with
Yashodhara. This marriage further
brought restrictions on His expectations. But, the Buddha had decided firmly to
achieve His goal at any cost. He was finding a way to escape from the family
bondage. Finally, He got a chance on the
incidence of dispute of Shakya an Koliyas on the river water . He decided to take advantage of this dispute,
So He purposefully opposed to Shakya’s option of war on the Koliyas.
There was a fight between SAKHYAS and KOLEYAES on sharing water from river
ROHINT. ( Koleya was another Gana in an ancient India )
The Sakhyas declared a war on Koleyas.
The Sakhyan army chief ordered all young men to join
in army and fight with Koleyas.
Siddhartha denied fighting.
The army chief wanted to punish him. So, he gave
choices to Siddhartha like,
The death or exile i.e. the social boycott of a
family, etc. This caught attention of king KOSALA who controlled
both the Ganas. Siddhartha chose to die.
But the army chief was a bit afraid to kill Him,
because of the possible consequences.
So, Shakyas gave Him an option to leave His home. Gautam
was waiting for this only! He wanted to leave His home for the sufferings of
the others, but if He would have left His home of his won, then people might
have talked a wrong about Him. He was aware of this. So, to get a public
support to His home leaving, He had purposefully opposed Shakyas opinion of war
and had pushed Himself in trouble. He was aware that, by taking opposite stand
against the Shakya Gane, the army chief will order Him to leave the Shakya Kingdom.
He wanted this order only. So, He happily left His home and told His noble
cause of His leaving to his parents and wife. By listening to His noble and
great purpose for the welfare of society, they also agreed to His leaving home
and His great work.
By making all things favorable, Siddhartha left
Sakhya Gana and become ‘parivaajaka’ i.e. the wondered.
Since, all the teaching schools and teachers were
residing in jungles only; He went in jungle and stared gaining different kinds
of knowledge from different teachers. He learned from Alara Kama, Udak
Ramputta, etc; who were all mulnivasi or native Indian teachers. The most
striking this is that, the Buddha never learned from any Brahmin teacher in His
life. His first five disciples, who were His colleagues, also were the native
Indians.
Heeven tested this knowledge on Himself. At that
time, the well known thought was that, body striving can give liberation to
body and Soul. To evaluate this, He found that, the body striving is harmful to
the self and useless for the liberation from suffering and slavery of
Brahmanism. So, he denied this thought. He even tested Meditation on himself
and found that, simple meditation is not sufficient for liberation. So, he denied
simple meditation too. Instead, He accepted thoughtful or philosopher’s
meditation, which He had done during his childhood.
To evaluate many such ideologies, He sat under a
tree and started thinking deeply about the Worldly suffering, H started
assimilating all the native philosophies like Charvaka, Lokayatra, Sankhya, etc
to form a new philosophy.
The Brahmins propagated wrong story about Him,
saying that, the Buddha sat under a tree for Meditation, but it is totally
wrong. There, He started thinking logically about the people and their
sufferings.
Gradually, He formulated the reasons for human
sufferings and peoples freedom from the Brahmanical slavery. To alleviate the
suffering of human beings, He proposed a new kind of Philosophy; which is known
as Buddhism.
He found that, peoples are suffering; and the cause
of their sufferings is their cravings and desires for the Worldly things; the
sole cause for these desires and cravings being Brahmanism. He found that, Brahmanism
propagated selfish attitudes, hatred, inequality among peoples on the basis of
birth, female slavery on the basis of gender, etc. Brahmanism propagates the
system of racism in the form of Varna system. It gives supreme power to the
Brahmins and helps Brahmins to enslave the native Indians. So, Buddha concluded
that, an atrocious Brahmanism is the reason for people’s cravings and desires
for the Worldly things resulting in peoples sufferings. So, He decided to
alleviate people’s suffering by eradicating Brahmanism. So, He waged a war
against the Brahmins and their Brahmanism by propagating Buddhism. The slogan
of his war was “BAHUJAN HITAY, HAHUJAN SUKHAY” (it means, “Majority progress,
majority in happiness”); which is similar to today’s Communism. The slogan of
Brahmins supremacy over an enslaved Indians wars “ALPAJAN HITAY, ALPAJAN
SUKHAY” (it means, “Minority in progress, minority in happiness”); which is
similar to today’s Capitalism.
The Buddha found that, the cause of people’s
sufferings was Brahmins and their Brahmanism. To get rid of this Brahmanism, Lord
Buddha offered His humanistic religion in the form of Buddhism. The Buddhism
was a direct answer of Lord Buddha to the Brahmins atrocious Brahmanism.
The Buddha was a prince and after becoming a king,
it was easy for Him to eradicate Brahmanism form the land of India. But, even
after becoming a World Emperor, it was difficult for Him to kill Brahmanism;
since, there was no other religious philosophy available to counter the
existing philosophy of Brahmanism. The Christianity or Islam was not developed
yet, So, He decided to create his own religion to counter atrocious Brahmanism.
The Buddha was also aware that, Brahmanism was an ideology and an ideology
can’t be killed by any weapon like sword, knife, etc. An ideology must be
killed by an ideology only! So, to kill an atrocious ideology of Brahmanism, He
left His home against His will. He and His family had undergone the huge
sufferings for the well-being of their peoples. This was the greatest devotion
of Lord Buddha and his family for the welfare of society. So, His home leaving
event is known as HABHINISHKRAMANA!! This great even of MAHA-BHINISHKRAMAN is
golden event in the history of humanity, which brought a turning point in the
human life on Earth.
It is depicted by the Brahmins in a picture that,
while the Buddha was in His Philosophical Meditation, a cobra snake named “Mulchind”
protects Him from behind. The fact is that, all native or mulnivasi Indians
belong to the Naga race including Lord Buddha. Many times, the Brahmins
depicted these Naga peoples in the form of serpent Naga (i.e. cobra snake). So,
in reality, this cobra serpent is nothing but a Naga person belonging to India.
The Buddha was wondering along to get different kind of knowledge from different
hermits residing in jungles of the Northern Indian. That time, these was a
dense jungle with much terror wild animals like Lion, Tiger, Wolves, etc. So, to
protect Him was of prime importance; since, the Buddha was a hope protecting
Him during Him mission. These peoples were depicted by Brahmins later on in the
form of a picture of “Mulchind” serpent Naga protecting the Buddha.
After getting Enlightenment, Lord Buddha started
visiting villages one by one on foot, to spread His humanistic ideology and to
educate peoples.
His ideology of Buddhism had opposed each and every
aspect of atrocious Brahmanism.
He denied the Vedas.
He denied existence of the God.
He denied existence of the Soul, Re-birth,
Re-incarnation (the concept of an Avatar) etc.He denied the supremacy of Brahmins.
Soon, a large section of peoples started following
Him and His teachings.
And majority of Mulnivasi or native Indians (who are
present day SC, ST and O.B.C.’s) got converted to Buddhism.
Under influence of the Buddha and his Buddhism, the
native Indians revolted against the Brahmins and their Brahmanism, and as a
result of which, later on, the Mouryan Empire got established in Indian. The Buddha’s
revolution enabled the Shudra’s to become not only kings but the World emperors
too!
Thus, Buddha became the first revolutionary in
Indian. He uprooted Brahmanism in India with the help of His revolutionary
philosophy and movement.
