From Siddhartha to Buddha, the life journey of the world's most followed teacher
Buddha was born in a royal family of Lumbini in 600 bc (approx. 2600 years ago). His name was Siddhārtha Gautama when he was born. His father's name is Suddhodhana. My mother's name is Maya Devi. His mother died during his birth. His father is head of the royal family of Kapilavastu. His mother died when he was an infant, so he didn't get the love and care of his mother. So he became very thoughtful and broad-minded. He is very disciplined from an early age because he is grown up by his father. He is also curious about everything.
Siddhartha was so religious and deep-minded from childhood that he wanted to serve his life in meditation. But his father, the king, was not happy with his decision; he wants him to serve people like him. Ha always dreams about Siddhartha, he is leaving his city and people for the fulfillment of his wishes. To get rid of his meditation dream, his father married him with a very beautiful princess named Yashodha. They had a son, Rahul. He also became happy with his family life and forgot about meditation and peace. One day he saw there was a big wall and gate between the king's palace and village, so he decided that he wanted to go out of the door and see what was next to these doors. The king gets to know about this and says his cabinet wants to make the village beautiful and happy. The next day he went on a village trip, and there was happiness all around. The village road was decorated with colorful rangolis and torans. Suddenly he sees a very old man. The soldiers said to the prince that the old was going to die very soon. The prince asked them about death, and they said whoever came to this earth had to go one day. The next day, he told his father that he wanted to go to the village as a normal person to see the village. His father agreed. He saw many people dying in the village. He is very deeply heated and gets a big heartbreak after seeing this. He starts thinking about himself, saying, What is the use of this money and property if we have to die one day?
At the age of 29, he decided to leave his kingdom and become a monk. He decided to leave his family, money, and wealth. In the forest, he sees some Hindu gurus doing meditation. He went near them and said he also wanted to become a sadhu. They said that it is very tough to leave all the happiness and wealth behind. He aggravated and started the madness. He didn't break his concentration and believed in every moment, like rain, heat, or even snow. He meditated straight for six years; at the age of 35, he started meditation in Bodhgaya, near Gaya ji Bihar. After a straight meditation of 49 days, he gets enlightenment and becomes Buddha from Siddharth.
