In the past era, the influence of Hinduism and Brahmin are highly relative in India which is the origin of Buddhism but the forecast is the knowledge of the Brahmins. According to the Vedic Scripture, the Brahmins are the prophers. As shown in Theravada Buddhist scriptures, the 8 Brahmins predicted Prince Siddhatha.
