THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Leaders

"Education can't make us all leaders - but it can teach us which leader to follow.."

- Mckenzie.

TOPIC OF THE DAY

Buddha Jayanti

Prince Siddharth born around 543 BC is believed to have lived a very sheltered life till the age of 29 under his father's instructions and was kept completely ignorant of the tragedies of everyday life. Once he persuaded one of his charioteers to take him out of the palace walls to the outside world and was shocked to the harsh realities of life when he viewed an old man, a sick and disabled person and a dead body for the first time in his life. The fourth vision was of an ascetic who looked at peace with himself, which led Siddharth to search for the true meaning of life, renounce the luxury and worldly pleasures and look for enlightenment. He wandered to many places and ultimately attained attainment in Bodhgaya under a 'pipal' tree. Since then he was known as Gautam Buddha or the 'Enlightened One'.
