Buddh Jayanti

Brahmins, who drafted the text for Ashoka's edict, flattered him as 'Dewanam Piya' - a darling of Gods.

The drafters meant, that their king was indeed, a shallow man.

  A darling to Gods; And unaware of himself.

When a river turns around, towards the

direction  of it's source, seeking as if, it's

origin - that meander  is a significant 

swerve,  in it's  course.

Sancara Jayanti

You may have read in history, that  Sancara Bhagavadpada  caused Buddhism to wane, in India.
This I say, is wrong.
I am named sankara - acharya after him.
And I say that this accusation is untrue. 

People who have read Sancara's commentaries will agree.
There is very meagre  condemnation of Buddhist path.

Sancara's condemnation was more of 'Sankhya' and 'Mimamsa' followers, of the Hindu culture.

His condemnation of Buddhism was only one-hundredth of  the censure of his fellow Hindus.

Chinmaya Jayanti

Vyaasa in his narrative of the Bhagawad Gita, often refers to Krishna, as 'Madhusudana'.

Madhu-sudana means 'slayer of the demon Madhu'.

But, then, "Madhu', in Samskrit language, also means 'honey'  - which is a metaphor for 'Vaasanas'.

Madhu-sudana then, is Krishna, as 'slayer of 'Vaasanas'.

You know, Shakespeare's lines drew plaudits both from the well and the balcony, . . .

Yuz Asaph - Leader of the Healed

Holger Kersten suggests that Jesus may have survived the crucifixion.

In a detailed examination of the Shroud of Turin and the time of crucifixion, Kersten draws attention to how Joseph of Arimethea, Nicodemus and Longinus had made plans to revive Jesus - as soon as he was brought down from the cross.

Large quantities of aloes, myrrh and ladanum are believed to have been found, in the tomb where Jesus was laid to rest.

These herbs were commonly used, in the treatment of injuries and wounds.

Kersten sees the notion of Resurrection in the gospels, as a physical act of resuscitation as well - In which Jesus is shown to have been healed, with elaborate medication.

Kersten draws on the work of Father Gunther Schwarz who says that the terms, 'rise' and 'coming back to life', found in translations of the Bible, in the original Aramaic, derive from the linguistic root, 'to resuscitate'.

Alternative scholarship holds that, having survived the crucifixion, Jesus goes east, again, as Yuz Asaph.

Jesus's Hebrew name was Yuza.
Yuz in Arabic.
In Quran, he is Hazrat Issa, Issa in Tibetan, close to Isha in Samskrit.
Yuz means leader.
And Asaph refers to healing.
So, Jesus was Yuz Asaph - Leader of the Healed.
