The Hinyaan did not believe in idolatry. On the other hand the Mahayaanis were idol worshippers. The road to the Tibet based Kailash Mansarovar passed through Badrikashram in those days. The people of the Mahayaan sect looked upon Lord Badrinath as another form of Buddha and paid their obeisance to him with reverence and faith. <b>But the Hinyaan who were not idol worshippers started disturbing the peace of the Badrikashram</b>. The situation worsened to the extent that the devotees found it difficult to protect the Lordâs idols. They came to the conclusion that since the earth is never seedless it will produce another great soul at some time. They put the idols of Lord Narayan back in the Naradkund. People of the mahayana sect fled from the Badri region to other places.
After reading above, it seems even Buddhist were trouble maker when Buddism was in its peak. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

If you watch the documentaey "sankara' By GV Iyer you will see the punishment (self) inflicted on the scholar who loses in a "samvadam' or in defence of relgious doctrines or philosophies.
AMazing thing is these masters of mid control had such super egos, that would lead to their downfall.
Afterall through out our itihasa and puranas we come come accross great sages like Brigu, Durvasa, Parasurama, Viswamithra often hads to be punished for their super egos which would lend them blind and not see the ultimate Brhaman.
