The contributors to India's cultural heritage have been innumerable. Of them, history has left for the posterity the accounts of just a few. This illuminating booklet primarily focuses on the impact that the life and teachings of one of these great contributors, viz. Buddha, had on the already rich legacy that India had inherited.
May I be born again and again, and suffer thousands of miseries so that I may worship the only God that exists, the only God I believe in, the sum total of all souls--and, above all, my God the wicked, my God the miserable, my God the poor of all races, of all species, is the special object of my worship.
-Swami Vivekananda
