Sannathi Conspiracy by Brahmin Administration Karnataka (Eng)
“Save the Monument and get Arrested.
Destroyer will be Praised.”
Is
the Theory of alien Brahmins.
Many of the Statues found at site,and Related to the Ashoka are going Missing or getting Destroyed. |
Save
the ancient culture of Buddhists.
Cultural
Revolution started by Bhante Bodhidhamma. Bodhidhamma

Bhante Bodhi Dhamma Under Arrest |
Bhante
Bodhidhamma who is originally from Nagpur presently lives in Karnataka had been at few
occasions prior to 5th Feb 2013 at Sannathi village the Buddhist site excavated some
25 years ago at Sannathi village, Taluka-chittapur, Gulbarga , Karnataka state.
Evacuated Stone and Slabs are used for walls and roof covering for the diety. |
Monks Protesting on Road for Justice |
But on 5th February 2012 when he
visited to the Site presently under, ASI he was surprised to see that their was
a Statue of Hindu deity placed and covered with a orange colored cloth, and
incense sticks were lit in front of the idol deity which is under the security.
It
was repeatedly noticed that Archaeological survey of India has been intentionally trying to destroy the remains
of the stupa evacuated from the site. Many Buddha statues and other statues are
missing; this ancient monument was not properly persevered for years together against
sun, rain, dust, wind and falling leaves of trees and in due course getting
spoiled and damaged.
Local Womens Protesting against the Corrupt Administration |
The
local MLA , AC of Sedam Mr.D.K.Ravi and ASI people purposely converting this

I think the Diety is placed here by Brahmins |
As long as Brahmins will be posted on these excavation
project they are sure they will not disclose the facts and destroy the findings
related to Buddhist and other religion. Because the fact they know that any
where in Asia if excavation is carried out nothing other that the Buddhist
findings will be found. So either they do the slow progress and get it
destroyed with the time, or does not make it public.
News in Local Papers |
As it is said when the Court gave the orders to do excavation
at the site of Babri Maszid, in the case of Ram Janmabhoomi case, as they found
the evidence related to Buddhist culture, they had to stop as they could not
find any thing related to Brahmin religion or culture. The report is still not
made public and the decision by the court was given on the belief of Brahmins,
whereas Judgement has to be given on facts and not on beliefs.
News in Local Papers |
You will see that at Sannathi also Brahmin is in control, so
also in rest of the places where excavation is going on.
As far as Archaeological Survey of India(ASI) is not freed
from the clutches of the Brahmins, it will not be possible to save our Valuable
Heritage Monuments.

Sannathi and Emperor Ashoka (Eng)
Sannathi The History
The edict placed right at the entrance in Sannathi. Prakrit language edict speaks about religious tolerance. Looking around you will find many panels of sculptures, carved in limestone, strewn around the place. The sun’s rays fall directly on the drums and the larger-than-life panels are arranged circularly around.
The maha stupa, it says, was referred to as ‘Adholoka Maha Chaitya’ or the ‘Great Stupa of the Netherworlds’ and was dated anywhere between the third century BC and third century AD.
Slightly far away from the main stupa under the shelter of a tree. Is said that is the very first inscribed panel of King Ashoka to be discovered inIndia . (I don’t think so) “We wouldn’t know if
there were any before, but this is the first when we saw something with an
inscription that says Ashoka,” says the Professor adding that this would
probably help them discover more of his portraits.
Cities and stupas likeVaranasi
and Sanchi are carved in both the drum and dome panels made of limestone.
Kailash Rao says it was like a jigsaw puzzle, putting them altogether, as more
than hundred such slabs were discovered in pieces. Halkatti tells several
life-size statues of Buddha were discovered, including the four that are
normally placed on ayaka platforms and represent the cardinal
directions. However, even here, you can see symbolic images such as the
Bodhi tree, his feet and an empty throne.
The original stupa, says Halkatti, would have probably been built during the Ashokan period as some pottery shards were discovered here as well. It is said that during his time, stupas were normally built as earthern domes. Some parts of the Ashokan stupa are still intact, while the architecture of the later Shatavahana period stands out distinctly. The Professor explains that the stupa is the missing link connecting all the other stupas, especially with respect to the iconography.
Kanaganahalli
village is the place located near Sannathi village, where the Emperor Ashoka of
the Mauryan dynasty, had left his mark here several centuries ago The remains
of a Buddhist stupa were excavated almost 27 years ago here by the Archaeological Survey of India(ASI),
and is known as Sannati or Sannathi located on the banks of
the Bhima River in Chitapur taluka
of Gulbarga District of Northern Karnataka.
It
is believed that the king sent his son Mahindra and daughter Sanghamitra as his
emissaries to spread Buddhism in this region.
It
is said that in 1986, when the roof of the Kali temple in Chandralamba temple
complex collapsed, it destroyed the idol. However it revealed four Ashokan
edicts on the floor and foundation stone of the temple. These
edicts were written in the Prakrit
language and Brahmi script and
one of them was used as foundation of the pedestal for Kali idol. During
subsequent excavations by Archaeological Survey of India(ASI)
and the State Archaeology Department, tablets, sculptures, and other terracotta items
were found, and most importantly numerous limestone panels
of sculptures of the ruined 'Maha Stupa' or Adholoka
Maha Chaitya (the Great Stupa of the Netherworld) were found. The
excavation work carried out . Archaeologists believe that Ranamandal was
a fortified area,
spread over 86 hectares(210 acres; 0.33 sq mi),
out of which only 2 acres has been excavated by 2009. Clay pendants of Roman
origin, black polished pottery, Shatavahana and
pre-Shatavahana coins, ornaments made of copper, ivory and iron, a township
with paved pathways, houses, and limestone flooring have been found. Many
excavated items were later shifted to Gulbarga Museum .
Government
has asked to Archaeological Survey of India to
take up further exploration of the Ranamandal area to know the history of the
region and its connection with Buddhism.
One
of the stones - the only known example of its type - is of Emperor Asoka (r.274–232
BC) seated on his throne. It is probably the only surviving image of Emperor
Asoka. In 2010, ASI along with Sannati Development Authority deputed Manipal Institute of Technology to
prepared blueprint for restoration and reconstruction of the stupas
Sannati
can be reached by Rail via Nalwar Station or Wadi Junction. Some trains do not
stop at Nalwar. All trains stop at Wadi Junction. Wadi to Nalwar fare by Bus is
Rs.15/- Nalwar to Sannati is about Rs.20/- by bus, and Rs.25 by sharing autos.
Whole auto can be hired at Rs.300/- max. Sannati can also be reached via Shahapur
- by car, auto etc.
The edict placed right at the entrance in Sannathi. Prakrit language edict speaks about religious tolerance. Looking around you will find many panels of sculptures, carved in limestone, strewn around the place. The sun’s rays fall directly on the drums and the larger-than-life panels are arranged circularly around.
The maha stupa, it says, was referred to as ‘Adholoka Maha Chaitya’ or the ‘Great Stupa of the Netherworlds’ and was dated anywhere between the third century BC and third century AD.
It
is fascinating to hear from these historians about how the story unfolded here.
Professor Kailash Rao tells that the discovery of the edict led to further
inscriptions that were found in the area, which eventually got the ASI to
excavate the mounds here. The site is a treasure trove and the most priceless
treasure belongs to Ashoka himself.

Heaps
of discoveries there is more to this ancient site than just Ashoka. Professor
Kailash Rao says that there were several discoveries here dating back to
prehistoric times. Besides the stupa, bangles, beads, pottery, bricks, tiles,
stone heads and earthen vessels were found here.
Empirical
evidence has been collected to understand the way the stupa would have
originally been created. “Now we have drafted a conservation policy which we
will discuss with scholars, conservationists and historians,” says Halakatti. The
peaceful face of a Buddha statue lying in the rubble, wonder how many more
Buddhas are lying under our earth in various parts of the country waiting to be
discovered.
