- - - - Was there a War?
        
        I would argue that there was never a war, what would be the point? If the Dravidians couldn't even attack and the Aryans had much better technology it would make sense for the Aryans just to use them as their own farmers
        
        Through the invasion the Aryan's and Dravidian's shared cultures this is called cultural diffusion.
        
        We have evidence of this of how some of their words were shared
  - - - Brahmin: The priest at the top Kashatriya: The government and the warriors Vaisya; Food production, farmers Sudra: servants, no education
        The untouchhables
        jatis: Sub caste
        
        From this some Brahmin saw the imbalances of this and their sacred rituals. They broke away and became acetic monks
- - - - Stage 3: You become centered around the ones around you. but you must understand that everything and everyone will fade away.
        
        Stage 4: Finally you made it! You have been released form the cycle and you may now join Brahman

        Bodhisattavas
        
        Bodhisattva are people who have already reached enlightenment, but instead of leaving the physical realm they choose to stay and help guide others to enlightenment
- - - - Sama Veda
        
        This Veda is refered as the "Veda of the Chants" These were meant to be sung. The point of the same Veda were to dance and have fun. The same is made up of 1,549 verses which is split into two parts: Gana and Arcika
      - Yajur Veda
        
        The Yajur Veda also called the "Worship knowledge" This was meant to worship services
        There are 1,875 verses with which we have divided into two parts the dark Yajur and the Light Yajur. This just means that the dark Yajur is just part of the book that we don't quite understand and the light is the parts that are more well defined.
      - Rig veda
        
        The Rig Veda was a collection of 1,028 poems. The poems were separated into 10 books called mandalas. The poems when chanted were called mantras(This is something that Buddhism still has) The rig Veda was supposed to give us the answers of the universe, some of the mantras were even supposed to sound like the creation of the universe.
        
        Upanishads "come sit near"
        
        The Upanishads were the main focus of Hindu culture it moved away from priest and the caste system and devotion and focused on more of the things that make us human. These were written by ascetic monks.

      - Atharva Veda
        
        The atharva Veda is a bit different than the rest in the way that it's less of chants and songs, its a book of magical spells that scare off evil and danger. The name is from a well known priest back at that time named Atharvan. This is made of 20 books and 730 hymns.
- - - - During the young princes' travels, he passed four things that he had never seen before.
        Old age, death, sickness, and a passing monk. The prince had lived his whole life in isolation up to this point for his father wanted him to become king. When our prince saw the first three he was shocked to see how chaotic everything is death is everywhere, but when he saw the fourth and final sight he was confused about how calm the man was in all the mess, although he was dying he seemed so unnaturally calm.
        
        The prince leaves
        
        After this point the prince cannot bear to stay inside his walls and let the outside people suffer. He runs off into the night and becomes a ascetic monk.
        
        As an ascetic monk, he meditates every day, until one day when he is by a river he sees a musician tell his student that if you draw the string too tight it snaps, and if you leave it too slack it will not play. At this point, he noticed that he was drawn too thin and that all the other ascetics were drawn too thin. After this, he had a revelation.
        
        He sits under a sacred tree called the BO tree for 49 days. After this, he was awoken and becomes the Buddha
