Navayana Buddhism

Navayana Buddhism is a modern reinterpretation of Buddhist teachings founded by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar in India. It emphasizes social justice, equality, and the rejection of caste discrimination, aligning Buddhism with efforts to address ongoing social inequalities. Unlike traditional Buddhism, which often focuses on individual enlightenment, Navayana actively advocates for societal change and inclusivity. Its teachings encourage marginalized communities to seek dignity through understanding and adopting Buddhist principles, aiming to transform social systems and promote human rights. In essence, Navayana blends spiritual philosophy with a commitment to social activism for a more just and equitable society.
