The Life of Buddha

A great happening on the earth took place in the sixth century BC -- The Birth Of Lord Buddha- one of the greatest blessings to mankind. He was born into a royal family and given the name "Siddhartha".

At the age of twenty-nine, Siddhartha Gautama suddenly abandoned his home to devote himself entirely to spiritual pursuits and Yogic practices. A mere accident turned him to the path of renunciation.

He left for ordination and this was the beginning of the search for enlightenment that was full of obstacles and danger.
