Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Namaste, Many 'spiritual teachers' may have existed in the body but much of their teachings are added later to create a myth. For example in the NT there are about a dozen sayings that can be attributed directly to Jesus. There probably are more unproven ones but my point is a whole philosophy or religion can be founded on such. Ram could have been born a million years ago or 20 thousand years ago, or according to some 150,000 years ago, and the Ramayan was written down later in a different language with much added. Creating a Teaching Myth, He may even not have been born in what is now India even. People should not be offended by academic questioning. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adi_Shankara#Dates Hupa.
