All of this is basically cope stemming from later Hindu philosophers who are unwilling to accept that their own scriptures (the Upanishads) clearly talk about maya and illusion etc The principle of Maya is explicitly described in the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 2.5.19 and in Svetasvatara Upanishad 4.9

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 2.5.19: "The Lord on account of Maya is perceived as manifold

Svetasvatara Upanishad 4.9: "Brahman projects the universe through the power of Its maya. Again, in that universe Brahman as the jiva is entangled through maya."

So the Padma Purana, a non-revealed smriti text is contradicting the authority of the sruti (revealed texts), which means that the statements of the Padma Purana should be disregarded.
>From the above verses from Padma Purana it is clear that even before it’s actual inception, Advaita philosophy was considered to be ‘covered Buddhism’.
What seems to be the case was that whoever wrote that was aware that the Upanishads teach maya, and they were worried that people would accept that teaching of the Upanishads.

I'm not going to respond to every accusation where people say "x is buddhist" but where there is factually wrong information I will point it out.

>Ramanuja says that to claim that non-differentiated consciousness is real and all else is false is the same as the Buddhist concept of universal void.
No, that's incorrect, since Advaita says that this consciousness is self-luminous Awareness-Bliss that exists eternally and which has it's own self-nature, whereas in the Buddhist concept of universal void there is no stable and abiding conscious presence that endures forever and everything lacks a self-nature, this makes them two completely different concepts. Ramanuja didn't know what he was talking about at all on this question. Try asking any Buddhist if Shunyata is the same as infinite and eternal God-consciousness
