How
simple Siddhartha became Bhagawan Buddha!
Into the royal family of Sakya, the birth of Siddhartha was announced "What
with life transitory in time short'll I do'', the Yuvaraja pronounced The
soulless materialism he hated, why headless hedonism he denounced To release
man from cycles of births and confer bliss, he renounced.
Search
into the mysteries of life and suffering, took him at last to Gaya Where
illumination made him Buddha shattering anon the clock of Maya Thence forward
he took to preaching, the secrets of Sristi, stiti and Laya With accent on
development of Seela, got by sublimation of Chapalya.
This indeed is the origin of this volume; and about a dozen and a half of the
pieces were published in periodicals like. Sapthagiri, Tapovan prasad, Hindu
Viswa Master Mind, Poet, International etc. A few were translated into Hindi
and Telugu. I thank them now lovishly for their patronage. Permit me to close
with a humble request and ardent wish that you will see this keep going by
writing your reaction for modification or addition and that alone enables me
holding aloft the Bharata jyoti ever burning resplendent. Please cooperate.
Awaiting compliance, I say Bye.
