Ep 5: History of Nalanda University

For over 800 years NU was one of the best universities in the world. Students from across the globe came here to study in one of the greatest libraries in the world. It was spread over three buildings: Ratnasagara, Ratnadadhi and Ratnaranjaka. Each building was nine stories high and had an enormous collection of books that covered various subjects ranging from religion, literature, astrology, astronomy, medicine and much more. At the height of it’s glory, Nalanda University was devoted to not only Buddhist studies, but also trained students in fine arts, medicine, mathematics, astronomy, politics and the art of war.
