The lost Budhha of Temples
Lets dive a little into the recorded history. The ancient land of India was a conglomerate of many kingdoms. That we know, ofcourse. But do we really know that long before the invasion of foreign powers, this land was a conglomerate of many beliefs and practiced by its inhabitants. The culture of diversity flourishes, leaving behind its mark on individuals, on sects. But this unity in diversity lost its credentials by self denial, confessing that it too has its limitation. Should we look into the cause of this obvious paralysis ! or Should we ignore ! But who will decide it ?
The journey to the golden era of this land could not be fulfilled without enquiring into the cause of spiritual catastrophe.
Most of the lands were covered with forests. There was no artificial satellites; so nothing accessible digitally. There were no highways, no national corridors, even the nearest village or town was cut off. One had to find the way through the forests. Then in this not so accessible situations, who were those , who lit the lamp of knowledge in many hearts of this land. Ofcourse, we have heard of Gurukuls. But were the teaching modules of Gurukuls in uniformity ! Did that matches with amongst the Gurukuls ! How it could be ! Certainly not. Many ancient practices, many branches of Vedas, Upanishads, Budhhism and too Jainism ; could also be some unknown or little known knowledge centres that might had been at service.
Hatred is a desease of an individual. The wicked capability of it is to paralyse the society, hindering the process of social evolution. The ancient Gurukuls were the means for spiritual evolution. There was unanimity in the diverse pages of Gurukuls and that is "through spiritual evolution comes the social evolution". Then who broke the links of unanimity or there were no unanimity at all. Wish, we might be wrong. Then the stories of influencing and dominance surfaces. Possibly as the purpose of Gurukuls were loosened, the Budhha of temples was seem to be lost among the aimless crowds. The obvious reason for spiritual catastrophe is seem to be ignoring the eternal truths of humanity at first place.
This comes first, rest in second.
Budhha here referred is not the Goutama but to any enlightened human who cracked the puzzle of co-existence in human race. Either you value the eternal truths or you learn to co-exist over a period of time. There were stories of spiritual masters of different land visiting and taking a note of practices of this land. Military invasions were the main cause of exploring some of the major masters of the world, whom with people learned to co-exist over a period of time. It was not a choice as there was no other option. It seems that knowledge centres were more of a like self-centric else spiritual masters of different land might have met in an extraordinary celebration. Besides influencing and play of dominance, Customs and rituals took the centre stage over eternal truths. The social stigma vehemently hinders its own evolution as the budhha of temples was lost.
Some invents a new technology, some invents a new medicine, some improves a prosthetic ; all add to solve an issue of humanity. There is an obvious chance of rennaisance of Budhha if some one finds a cure to the cancer. Let that light of knowledge enters our heart and mind.
