  1. Umang Kaur Arora –

    A beautiful poem, but the language felt a bit dated. Still, a worthwhile read for understanding the early interest in Buddhism.

  2. Hemant Holani –

    A powerful and evocative retelling of the Buddha’s life. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in spirituality.

  3. Tushar Choudhary –

    I was moved by the story of Siddhartha. The author’s devotion shines through. It’s a bit long, though.

  4. Aayush Mittal –

    The language is gorgeous! It painted such vivid imagery in my mind. A truly inspiring story.

  5. Hemant Saini –

    While beautifully written, I found it hard to connect with the main character. It felt distant and detached.

  6. Aditya U Upadhyay –

    I found it repetitive in places. The story is important, but the writing style wasn’t for me.

  7. T Raghu Yagnavalkya –

    This book is a true gem. It’s beautifully written, insightful, and deeply inspiring.

  8. Srishti Verma –

    It’s a classic for a reason. A beautifully written and thought-provoking exploration of Buddhism.

  9. Nikita Jain –

    An interesting take on the Buddha’s life, although I felt it romanticized some aspects. Worth reading for a historical perspective.

  10. Kaustubh Vilas Mahajan –

    I found it a bit preachy at times. It could have explored more of the historical context.

  11. Dharvi Singhal –

    A good introduction to Buddhism, but it’s definitely written from a Western perspective.

  12. Ruchika Kashyap –

    I enjoyed learning about Buddhism through this poem. It was insightful, but at times felt a little slow.

  13. Ajey Dixit –

    An absolute masterpiece! This book is beautifully written and deeply moving. I couldn’t put it down.

  14. Ayush Gupta –

    I was expecting more, to be honest. It was okay, but not as profound as I’d hoped.

  15. Piyush Mahendrakumar Dhamgaye –

    A moving, poetic account of Buddha’s journey. Highly recommended!

  16. Rahul Choudhary –

    This book completely changed my outlook. I’m incredibly grateful for the wisdom within these pages.

  17. Urvi Bansal –

    I appreciated the historical context. Some of the writing was flowery for my taste.

  18. Pritam Mandal –

    A must-read for anyone interested in Eastern philosophy. It’s a challenging but rewarding read.

  19. Arpit Tiwari –

    A classic for a reason. It’s a bit heavy on the religious aspect, but the story is compelling nonetheless.

  20. Vandita Mahaur –

    The language is a bit dense, but the story is worth it. Be prepared for a slower pace.

  21. Tushar Khemka –

    This book offers a fantastic introduction to the life of Buddha. The writing is accessible and engaging.
