Gautama and Godama

[alexoliversen]

Searching my memories and certain older texts I remember Gautama Buddha being spelled Godama Buddha, but it is funny to see that it is now mostly spelled Gautama now a days. It is funny how reality changes, and how we lose old and ancient understandings of the relationship and meanings of words.

Who knows? God might have been Godama Buddha. As both Christianity and Buddhism share many of the same values and teachings, it is sad to see such knowledge might be forgotten by the passages of time.

For the life of me, I couldn't remember such a relationship, as it slipped my mind for some reason. But thanks to some due some diligence, research, some help from Castanet forumers, and a little bit of luck, I was able to realize it doesn't matter what religion you are, as we all are people trying to find some peace and happiness.

Does anyone else have memories of such an account?

Godama Buddha might have influenced Christ and Christianity.
Just for those who have also sought the truth for that I have found. A lot of the teachings on Christianity and Buddhism are similar, such as:

BUDDHISM
In this world
Hate never yet dispelled hate.
Only love dispels hate.
This is the law,
Ancient and inexhaustible.

CHRISTIANITY
But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,

Also Buddhist Missionaries reached Rome around and just before the time of Christ.
There is a lot of other similarities.

I thought buddas real name was siddartha. He was just a man who found enlightenment and then was called buddha.

I read somewhere that Godama, which could be spelled Gautama, or Gotam means 'Lord Buddha', 'the best ox' or 'the enlightened one'. The name is of Hindi origin where gau means cow and tam means self. This popular religious Indian name has variants that include Gautama and Gotam.

It is interesting to note Godama`s birthday is 8th day of the 4th month in the Chinese lunar calendar around April 28 to May 6 the sign of the Taurus - the Bull in Western Zodiacs.

Interesting video, I like how Jesus is call a "revolutionary" at the start of this documentary. Just to straighten out some historical in corrections in at the end of this video.

The three Wisemen were from the Ancient Parthian Superpower. They were from the religious sect of the Royal Parthian King's court. Called the Magi.

Parthian and Scythian nations.

Parthia and Scythia were brother nations. These were Pre-European nations. You can see in the Map of Parthia and Scythia that it includes many of the area's that are mentioned in the documentary. Kashmir included. Jesus could have gone to this area in his missing 18 years? A lot of ancient Israelite's lived in this area do to the proximity of the 10 Northern Tribes that were taken into captivity by the Assyrians in 712 B.C. But were either freed by the Scythians or by Alexander the Great after the battle of Gaugamela in 331 B.C. which was Prophetic that they would be freed 390 years after they went into captivity..
712 B.C.- 331B.C.= 390 years

I was researching Persian King Darius 1 and came across this.....

I had thought Buddhism was a religion of peace and harmony?

Gaumata led the oldest Persian uprising, which is well known as the Gaumata movement.

Gaumata and Gautama are most likely two different people as Ryan and Bryan are two different names but similar, as Siddhārtha Gautama came from next kingdom over in Shakya. It is on the other Eastern side of the India/Indus kingdom.

Or there is the possibility that it is the same name, but just for a different person, might also be true. The significance of the word and sound Gaut, Gaud, or God might have been in style at the time. Thus all the relationships to early Christianity, Buddhism, Godama, and God. As we all seek a holy sound, it might be called a name or sign of the spirit of the times, during that era - just like how we have trends in popular names today which represent the will of the people.

You maybe right. I was looking at the birthdates between Gaumata and Gautama the other day. They are some years apart. When I was doing my original research, only one of names keep popping up. So, when time permits. I'll correct my comment.
