Had Adi Shankaracharya not been there India would have been Buddist country.

चीनी यात्री सिर्फ बुद्धिज़्म को जानने भारत आया इसलिए वो सबको बुद्ध बताएगा जबकि हर्ष के खुद के अभिलेख उसे शैव बता रहे ह तो बहस ही खत्म

[@raosaheb5637]

hinduism, jainism, buddhism, sikhism became religion once the abrahamic believers came to India. these were all just different schools of thoughts pre abrahamic view. they all respected each other and freely followed and studied each others philosophies.

You seem to be ignorant about history. Shiva is another name of Avaloketeswar Bodhisattva of Vajrayana Buddhism. Please read history properly

He probably worshiped budh without abondoning his chief god. like today hindus go to tamples of every gods and godesses.

[@AmanKumar12138]

In ancient Bharat I think there was not much difference between Hinduism and Buddhism Lord Buddha was just like an another god of Hinduism or religious guru whom everyone respected.

As a Vaishnav, I don't think it's a problem to also follow Bhagwan Mahaveer and Buddha at the same time. Nobody is contradicting anybody in theory and practice of Dharma.
