Buddha, meaning ‘one who is awaken’ in the sense of having ‘woken up to reality’ was the title first given to Siddhart Gautam and therefore, he was called as Bhagwan Buddha It was about 2550 years ago when Prince Siddhartha Gautam left all the worldly pleasures to attain the reality of life, and attained Buddhatwa – the enlightened one. It was a state in which the Buddha gained an insight into the deepest workings of life and therefore into the cause of human suffering, the problem that had set Him on his spiritual quest in the first place. Prince Siddhartha, son of king of Kapilvastu the Shiddhodhan, was only 29, when He had left home. For some time, He moved around the entire country meeting various sadhus and saints in His search for inner peace. It was during this period that Siddhartha lived the life of a hermit and involved Himself in rigorous ‘ tapasya’ in order to comprehend the reason for life and death. A time came when He realized that it was useless to torture one’s body while finding the truth, and then, He denunciated the method of tapasya and fast. Ultimately he discovered reasons of sorrows of all being and liberation out of it and therefore he came to be known as Buddha or the enlightened one .
