Navayana School is considered to be a new branch of Buddhism propounded by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. It is different from the traditionally recognized branches of Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana and rejects them. It discards the practices and precepts such as renouncing monk and monastism, karma, rebirth in afterlife, samsara, meditation, enlightenment and Four Noble Truths considered to be the foundation in the Buddhist traditions. It radically re-interprets Buddhism by revising the original teachings of Buddha to be about class struggle and social equality.
