Guest guest Posted April 20, 2003 Report Share Posted April 20, 2003 Namaskar Mitra, In the book, Dr Ambedkar Man & Mission by D Keer, in response to a ? as to 'Why the statues of Buddha from different countries differred in features, he replied that till 600 years after the Mahaparinirvana of the Buddha, there was no picture or statue of the Buddha. Someone then made the Buddha statue from his own imagination & then in all Buddhist statues were made in accordance with the standard of beauty prevailing in those lands.' Swami Vivekananda said that Idol Worship in India was started by the followers of Buddha. QUESTION - when did the Hindus start worshipping idols & what about the Jainas.
