Re: [FairfieldLife] Yagyas - what is it

None taken--I already posted a source under the subject: "The Vedic horse sacrifice". A mention is made of Buddhism putting a stop to these practices. Interestingly, Shankara helped revive it--using a Hinduism modified via Buddhism. Go figure. Some believe that advaita came into Hinduism via Buddhism.   ---Absolutely.  Buddhism is what we TMers practice, because otherwise we would have to be Brahmin Hindus to get these teachings. Maharishi is a Buddhist even though he thinks they're stupid, stupid enough to tell Bevan to counter in Bevans speech on TM fulfilling the tenets of Buddha. In using terms like absolute and relative Maharishi took from Buddha since these words are never used anywhere in the Upanishads. It's not alal from Buddha, but Buddha was just so great that he said it all best.  Now that's awesome. Even now. I am always amazed at both the simplicity of Buddha' message and it's amazing complexity of understanding. There really is no source for these teachings but Vedanta. And since that's the case, even the Veda must end. And it ends in Buddha, or nowhere.
