Guest guest Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 when it clearly says in Gita all paths are His.... By the above logic, even Charvaka's philosophy must be a valid path. Sheesh. Why don't some individuals make an attempt to understand the Gita instead of pulling out one or two slokas out of context to use as slogans?

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 hiya everyone look i am a law student and recently i have been given a semester problem in indian history that might interest you...i guess everyone knows that the mauryan king ashoka converted to buddhism after the kalinga war supposedly out of remorse of the death and destructio0n that war brought about...now during the course of the history lectures in our university we'be been shown that the actual reason for his conversion was the fact that the budhist monastried were located at strategic trading points and the traders who were gaining importance during the ashokan period were patrons of buddhism as the trader class was never given much importance in ancient vedic culture..so ashoka had a lot to gain from buddhism nopw our problem is as follows...we are to imagine a hypothetincal situation where ashoka converts to shaivism instead of budhism..we are to propose the kind of socio-economic impact that would have on the mauryan time space ir would we really helpful if i could get a background to who the shaivites were and in which regions of the indian subcontinent were they most prominent.... i'll really appreciate it if someone helps me out with this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
