Lord Buddha's incarnation, Continued...

Verse 1.3.24: Jayadeva's songs. Buddha came to stop violence to animals. Caitanya Mahaprabhu was telling to Chand Kazi that animal killing was there in the vedas, not for indiscriminate killing and eating, but just to give the animals a way to get a human form of life based on the power of how the brahmans chanted the mantras. But people were misusing this and started killing and eating animals indiscriminately and not one was pure enough to even chant those vedic mantras. Hence Lord Buddha appeared and superficially rejected the veda and set forth the principles of non-violence.

But today, the philosophy of Buddhism is totally diluted, even the monks in Buddhism eat meat, which is a strict no by the principles of Lord Buddha.
Kaliyuga, it is not a situation for a gentleman.

Lord Buddha and Sankaracharya, came to pave the way for theism because at the time they came, people were not inclined to listen to the highest message. But once they paved this way,then Caitanya Mahaprabhu set the process for this Kaliyuga to chant the Holy name of the Lord:
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
This is to cleanse the heart and purify ourselves so that we can go back home back to Godhead.
