Siddartha Gautama or Gautam Buddha as he is proudly called was born in Lumbini forest in
Nepal in 560 BC. He was named Siddhartha and was raised up in the
kingdom of Kapilavastu. Her mother Maya gave birth to Gautama in Lumbini in a garden beneath the sal tree. The day on which Gautama Buddha was born is celebrated in Theravada countries as Vasak. He spent 29 years as the Prince of Kapilavastu during the period which he married Yasodhara who gave birth to Rahula. In Hinduism Gautama Buddha is regarded as the reincarnation of Vishnu. Since he was born in
Nepal he is also referred to as the Nepal Buddha.
A few years back a teenage boy meditating under a tree in south central Nepal was sighted and is being regarded as the reincarnation of the great Buddha. He has also earned the nickname of Nepal Buddha. The boy named Ram Bahadur Bamjan was witnessed sitting cross legged in posture of Buddha under a peepal tree. The tree under which he has been worshiping is festooned and the air gives the smell of incense sticks.
Besides Nepal Buddha he is also known as the Buddha Boy since he is just a teenager and has drawn curiosity from world over since he has meditated for over ten months without food and water. People have been left wondering whether he is the incarnation of Gautama Buddha or not.
