Publisher's summary

This book reveals the fact that the Buddha of Nepalese birth, otherwise known as Gautama Buddha and the avatar Buddha who appeared approximately 1000 years prior in Gaya, India are two distinct individuals with two distinct philosophical traditions. Especially investigated and clarified is the philosophy of Sri Sankacarya, whose interpretations of the Vedas were so bewildering that not only did he succeed in driving Buddhism out of India, but moreover convinced a following of scholars and academicians that Hinduism is in essence monistic, in which the form and qualities of a supreme godhead are denied. Furthermore, Beyond Nirvana demonstrates that Sankacharyas teachings are, in the final analysis, ironically nothing but a recycled form of Buddhism - and in no way true to the original Vedic wisdom known as sanatana-dharma.
