Were Sarmanes of Indica Buddhists ?
Many Neo Buddhists say that Sarmanes actually mentioned in the Megasthenes indica are Buddhists.
Let's check the facts
First one who distinguished b/w them was Clement of Alexandria of 2nd Century CE , and was first to talk about Buddhist stupas.
Many Neo Buddhists say that Sarmanes actually mentioned in the Megasthenes indica are Buddhists.
Let's check the facts
Special features of them :
1. Believers of Yama ( Hades )
2. Used to have Rice and barley as main food ( described in Manusmriti 6.11-13 )
3. Excellent doctors ( experts in Naturopathy )
4. Often called by Kings to discuss pleasing the God.
Well Mahayan wasn't there at that time and neither was Vajrayan. They have gods like Yama & hence they can't be Buddhist.
Elphinstone already said they were mainly Sanyasi. He also said that Buddhism wasn't expressly noticed by Greeks.
Colebrook said : Brahmins and Sarmanes are different. And Buddhists are clearly distinguished from both of them.
They were Sanyasis and ascetics of different tribes and the term Sarmanes , was later used for Jains. Undoubtedly also from any sects of Hindus.

जिनको ये समझ नहीं आया चिंता मत करो समझा देता हूं हिंदी में ।
जगह की कमी थी इसलिए ज्यादा लिख नहीं सका ।
बाकी Elphinstone ने तो साफ़-साफ़ बोल दिया है कि बौद्ध धर्म सिकंदर के भारत आक्रमण के समय खुलकर सामने आया ही नहीं था ।
वैसे भी ईश्वर को प्रसन्न करने के लिए राजा को सलाह देने वाला कोई बौद्ध हो नहीं सकता ।
Clement of Alexandria पहली बार बौद्ध स्तूपों का विदेशी वर्णन किया है । उसी ने पहली बार Sarmanes को बौद्ध बताया है ।
उसके बाद तो कुछ लोग ऐसे भी आए जिन्होंने बुद्ध को ईसाई बता दिया । 😂😂😂
जगह की कमी थी इसलिए ज्यादा लिख नहीं सका ।
कुल मिला जुला कर ये समझ लो कि इतिहासकारों ने Sarmanes को क्या बताया है -
1. हिन्दुओं के विभिन्न सम्प्रदाय
2. वानप्रस्थ और संन्यासी
3. गैर ब्राह्मण तपस्वी ( विभिन्न वर्ण या वर्ग के तपस्वी )
4. जैन ( लेकिन ये शब्द भी उनके लिए शुंग काल से शुरू हुआ और विदेशी वृत्तांत मे कुषाण काल से )
5. गैर बौद्ध
Schwanbeck ने समर्थन किया है बौद्ध वाले दावे को पर उन्होंने भी कहा है कि वो वानप्रस्थ हो सकते हैं और यह काफी बहस का विषय है ।
बाकी Elphinstone ने तो साफ़-साफ़ बोल दिया है कि बौद्ध धर्म सिकंदर के भारत आक्रमण के समय खुलकर सामने आया ही नहीं था ।
Colebrook ने भी उन्हें गैर ब्राह्मण तापस , हिंदुओं के विभिन्न संप्रदायों के तपस्वी , विभिन्न कुलों के तपस्वियों के रूप में बताया है । उनके अनुसार तो बौद्ध मतावलंबी Bracchmans और Sarmanes से स्पष्ट रूप से अलग हैं । उनके अनुसार बाद में यह शब्द जैन आदि के लिए प्रयुक्त हुआ था ।

Drugs used for Surgery in Ancient Bharat
As per Sushruta Samhita Sutrasthana 17.11 & Ashtanga Hridaya Sutrasthana 27.15 - these things must be given in order to avoid pain , but only to those who aren't able to resist this and to those who drink.
I feel a sense of pride after knowing Why Bharat was called Vishwaguru in ancient times !!! 🙏🙏

Strong liquor ( तीक्ष्ण मद्य ) and Cannabis indica ( भांग ) were used to keep patients unconscious / non sensetive to the pain happened during Surgery ( शल्य ).
As per Sushruta Samhita Sutrasthana 17.11 & Ashtanga Hridaya Sutrasthana 27.15 - these things must be given in order to avoid pain , but only to those who aren't able to resist this and to those who drink.
Charak Samhita Sutrasthana 4.47 talks about some plant derivatives from ( अशोक , कदंब , शाल , पुन्नाग etc. ) which can be used as Analgesics ( वेदनास्थापन औषधि ).
Similarly Sushruta Samhita Sutrasthana 6.41 talks about using Liquorice ( यष्टीमधुका / मुलहठी ) with Clarified Butter ( घृत ) as Liniment to get relief from pain from Surgery.

AstraVerse in Ancient Bharat : Part 5
Vashishta dhanurveda , one of the oldest treatise on Dhanurveda , the upaveda of Yajurveda ; mentions :
Listen , these were all primitive type. Do not confuse them with modern high tech weapons.
On the antiquity of the text ; Vashisht Dhanurveda cannot be assigned after 10th century. It must be at least before this.
फिर भी कुछ लोग कहेंगे कि भारत इन चीज़ों का आविष्कारक नहीं था । बारूद 14वीं सदी के बाद आया I

अब कुछ विशेष वर्ग के लोग बोलेंगे की वाल्मीकि रामायण में यह सब मिलावट है । अस्त्र-शस्त्र विद्या सब काल्पनिक गपोड़ें हैं । 😭😭😭
खैर छोड़ो मुझे किसी के साथ जबरदस्ती नहीं करनी । किसी के मानने न मानने से सत्य परिवर्तित होने वाला नहीं है । 😂😂

Behavior of Brahmins as described by Apollonius of Tyana !!
Apollonius came to Bharat around 1900 years back. He described that there are two sects of philosopher/sages in Bharat:
1. Brahmins
2. Hyrcanians [ hylobioi sarmanes possibly ]
He was talking to an Indian who asked him " What do you think about us Apollonius ? Do you think we know more than yourself ? "
Apollonius stayed with Brahmins for 4 months. He learned about their all philosophies , even the secretive ones.

He was talking to an Indian who asked him " What do you think about us Apollonius ? Do you think we know more than yourself ? "
Apollonius replied - " I consider your Lore [ knowledge ] is more deep , advanced and divine than us { Greeks }.
If I learnt nothing from here , this means I have learnt everything. "
He literally said that knowledge of Bharat is most superior of all , even so much that he don't even need to learn anything if he didn't learn something from here.
Apollonius stayed with Brahmins for 4 months. He learned about their all philosophies , even the secretive ones.
When he was going back , Brahmins give him guide , camels embraced him and declared - " Whether alive or dead you will be treated just like a god by all since after you attain knowledge. "
