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.
I am the thread that runs through all these pearls, and each pearl is a religion or even a sect thereof. Such are the different pearls, and God is the thread that runs through all of them; most people, however, are entirely unconscious of it.
-Swami Vivekananda
