In Buddhism
General definition (in Buddhism)
Delhi refers to one of the places visited by Dharmapāla during his tour of North India. Anāgārika Dharmapāla (born 1864) was a Ceylonese Buddhist who travelled across India and beyond, spreading Buddhism. According to Bhikkhu Sangharakshita in his Biographical Sketc, “he travelled as a pilgrim, not caring at all for comforts, mixing with the sanyasins, ascetics, Hindu pilgrims, and with passengers of the third and intermediate classes, eating at times the poorest food, sleeping at times in places where the poor sleep and gaining an insight into the characteristics of the poor classes, who are suffering from intense ignorance, superstition and poverty”.
India history and geography
Delhi is a location in India that was visited by Swamiji i.e., Swami Satyananda Saraswati as part of his spiritual mission. It is mentioned in a list of various places forming part of the itinerary of Swamiji’s extensive all-India tour conducted over four months, commencing in January 1970. This tour, undertaken with his disciples, involved holding Yoga programs in numerous cities and towns across the country. Thus, Delhi represents one of the regions where the seeds of the Bihar School of Yoga were intentionally spread to the local populace through direct teachings and instructions to the local people .
Delhi.—The ancient name of Delhi was Yoginīpura in the pre-Muslim period. The king Madanapala of this place gave a cordial reception to the Jaina saint of the Kharatara-gaccha in V.S. 1222. The Kharatara-gaccha Paṭṭavali informs that Pārśvanātha temple existed here. Even in the Muslim period, the Jainas played an important part in the religious affairs of Delhi. The Prabandhakośa of Rājaśekhara was written here in 1317 A.D. The well-known Pheru belonged to Delhi and he accepted the teachings propounded by the Jaina saints. A temple of Mahāvīra was built in Delhi around 1328 A.D., under the patronage of Muhammad Bin Tughluq. Afterwards, also the manuscripts of Jaina works were written at Yoginipura or Delhi.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
