Description
From Lord Buddha teaching the Lotus Sutra from the majestic Mt Gridhakuta to Lord Mahavira preaching his first and last desna and attaining Nirvana, Nalanda has witnessed the great awakenings of the world. Sacred to the Hindus for the holy hot springs at Rajgir, to the Sikhs for the trail of Guru Nanak, and to the Sufis for uninterrupted silsilas of their saints such as Hazrat Mukhdoom Yahya Maneri, Nalanda’s soul is its spiritual heritage. It is also home to the sprawling archaeological remains of the spectacular ancient monastic-university representing the age-old insatiable human hunger for knowledge and wisdom. History and natural beauty come together in the rich landscapes of Rajgir with the picturesque Ghora Katora Lake and Venu Vana, the royal gardens of King Bimbisara, leaving the visitor mesmerized. With exquisite colour photographs melding into one another to create a rare visual continuity, this volume celebrates the history, culture, and spirituality—the rich cultural heritage of Nalanda.
