Kṛṣṇa Is the Source of All Incarnations

support cow killing or animal killing from the pages of the  Vedas , and this is now being done by the modernized  sannyāsīs . Lord Buddha had to reject the authority of the  Vedas  altogether. This is simply technical, and had it not been so he would not have been so accepted as the incarnation of Godhead. Neither would he have been worshiped in the transcendental songs of the poet Jayadeva, who is a  Vaiṣṇava ācārya . He preached the preliminary principles of the  Vedas  in a manner suitable for the time being (and so also did  Ācārya Śaṅkarācārya ) to establish the authority of the  Vedas . Therefore both Lord Buddha and  Ācārya Śaṅkara  paved the path of theism, and  Vaiṣṇava ācāryas , specifically Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, led the people on the path towards a realization of going back to Godhead.
We are glad that people are taking interest in the nonviolent movement of Lord Buddha. But will they take the matter very seriously and close the animal slaughterhouses altogether?  If not, there is no meaning to the ahimsa cult.
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  was composed just prior to the beginning of the age of Kali (about five thousand years ago), and Lord Buddha appeared about 2,600 years ago. Therefore in the  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  Lord Buddha is foretold. Such is the authority of this clear scripture. There are many such prophecies, and they are being fulfilled one after another. They will indicate the positive standing of  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam , which is without  trace of mistake, illusion, cheating and imperfection , which are the four flaws of all conditioned souls. The liberated souls are above these flaws; therefore they can see and foretell things which are to take place on distant future dates.
