Lumbini to Kushinara takes the reader 2600 years back in time. Sidharth Gautam was born in 583 BC in a place called Lumbini which is in Nepal today. Eighty years later he died in Kushinara, which is in India. This book traces the path that Sidharth took in these eighty years. This is the story of the life and times of Sidharth who later on became the Buddha. How and why there was this transformation from his being a prince to an ascetic who propounded a Philosophy which became a major Religion of the World, is the theme of this book. It is not a travelogue nor is it a religious discourse. This is the story of a person who walked the earth 2600 years ago and his footsteps are still being followed by a large number of people all over the world.
