Were concepts from the Bhagavad Gita stolen from Buddhism?

[Śrī Anil asked: Some Buddhists are making allegations on Hindus saying the concept of the Bhagavad Gītā was stolen from Nirvāṇa Buddhism. Is it true?]

Swami replied: God incarnated as Buddha, just after Kṛṣṇa. If you read the scriptures of all religions, you will say that each scripture is copied from the other scripture. The reason is that there is only one internal unimaginable God, who wrote all these scriptures. The author is one and the same and the subject is also one and the same. Instead of passing such comments about other religions and scriptures, it is better to say that the author of all religious scriptures is one and the same and hence, the subject-matter of one scripture greatly resembles the subject-matter of another scripture.
