Priya Durgadasan Mahodaya,

i have read about the tripura samhara episode where it states about a false religion spread to convert the Danavas in order for them to follow an Adharmic life and which would allow them to be extinguished by Lord Shiva.
Lord Buddha had preached logic, compassion and total ahimsa. How could that be false?
Would God actually want to transgress his own code and preach adharma.
Its Dharma Samsthapanaarthaaya and not Adharma Samsthapanaarthaaya.

may be we should look at the Tripura episode at a different prespective.
the Tripura had three forts made of Gold, silver and Iron which later became one strong fort.
The danavas there were leading a dharmic life and this did not go well with the devas but there was no grounds to terminate them unless adharma prevailed and they we misled by a new religion and become adharmic and Lord Shiva destroyed them with a single arrow.

the 3 forts represent our Gunas:Sattva(gold)
Rajas(silver)
Tamas(iron)
all 3 are binding and even under a state of perfect control the Gunas are only lying dormant and may surface anytime when exposed to irreligious conditions.
the true divinity in us( represented by the Devas in the purana) will always propel us towards a state of Nirguna( beyond all gunas) hence will summon the Lord(in this case Lord Shiva the destroyer aspect)
the 3 gunas can be only be destoyed by the arrow of Single pointed mindness (Eka Grata) represented by Lord Shivas arrow.
i do not think it was Buddhism which was mentioned but just general irreligious practices.
correct me if wrong
