So I Have Heard From the Blessed One: Anirudh Speaks to the Buddha
What might Siddhartha Gotama, the Buddha, have actually thought of himself? Did he genuinely believe in what he preached? How do we, sitting in the 21st century, grapple with his complexities and flaws? Anirudh travels back through time to talk to the man himself, one quiet night on Vulture Peak near the great city of Rajagaha in Magadha.
Anirudh is trying to bring the history of South Asia alive though hard research and great storytelling. Please him out on this labour of love at
