It is commonly heard the well created narrative perception, everywhere especially in media , in education system, that `ahimsaa’ is taught or promoted only by Gautama buddha and his descenders. Or else we can say whenever the word Ahimsa is heard it is associated with Gouthama Buddha. Here the basic question or the basic conflict is why Gautama buddha only? Before the teachings of Buddha, is Ahimsa and other concepts of Pancha Sheela are not present in Indian teachings? Or did bharatiya vidya parampara not teaching ahimsaa, Asteya, Brahmacharya, Satya and indriya nigraha, which are teachings of Buddha and called as Pancha Sheela Sutras.We all know very well that in yoga Darshana these concepts are well defined and established. Going back to Yoga Darshana, Vedic literature is also teaching all these things repeatedly. So, the question rises, when a Nastika Darshana is taught in Astika Darshana . Isn’t it misleading the young generations and making unaware of Vedic knowledge. Moreover, it is taught with the perception that Vedic culture is full of ‘Himsa’ and to oppose that ‘vaidika himsa’ Buddhism is evolved. It is unfortunate that, this concept is developed again by foreign philosophers. Following blindly their perception, is making youngsters unaware of original knowledge of Vedas. Here it’s very important to make this clear that Vedic education is the root for all these concepts and bring back the attention of next generation to Vedic knowledge.
