  1. Iftikar Ahmed Barbhuiya –

    Not for the faint of heart. Be ready to have your views challenged. Interesting, though!

  2. Twinkle Israni –

    A fascinating, albeit unconventional, take on Buddha’s life. Rao’s scientific approach is intriguing.

  3. Aman Sombanshi –

    The book presents ideas well. But it felt like some ideas are forcibly joined.

  4. Saket Laxman Shende –

    The book goes well with the title and provides a alternative explanation.

  5. Twinkle Israni –

    Rao’s narrative is bold and challenging. I enjoyed the alternative interpretations presented.

  6. Padma Tashi –

    Not what I expected, but definitely sparked new thoughts about Buddha’s teachings.

  7. Akanksh Anand –

    It does offer a new perspective, but seems to overreach on some of the biological interpretations.

  8. Mohneesh Parte –

    A revolutionary concept! This book should be an starting point for anyone researching the subject.

  9. Harshita Sharma –

    A different viewpoint and theory about Buddha. Made me think in a different direction.

    Author has clearly made a effort on writing on a difficult topic.

  11. Tanmay Jain –

    Felt disconnected to original teaching in the original scriptures.

  12. Ayush Rai –

    An enlightening read! The blend of science and spirituality is thought-provoking. Highly recommended.

  13. Sagnik Chakravarty –

    Interesting concepts, but it’s dense and requires prior knowledge of Buddhism.

  14. Alok Jangra –

    Found it a bit dry and academic. The alternative narrative didn’t fully resonate with me.

  15. Syed Yaseen Ahmed –

    I appreciate the fresh perspective, but some connections felt a bit stretched. Still worth a read.

  16. Sneha Kumari –

    While novel, I couldn’t shake the feeling that the core essence of Buddha’s teachings was diluted.

  17. Adarsh Akula –

    I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It’s an academic take on the subject, a fresh perspective and the author seems to have a good grasp of the subject.

  18. Harsh Singh –

    A well-researched and thought-provoking book. It offers a fresh perspective on enlightenment.

  19. Dharm Pal –

    A very thought provoking book, it tries to explain a complex philosophy with modern science.

    I liked the author’s brave attempt to explain Buddhist concepts in scientific framework. It was an ambitious project!

    A unique and insightful exploration. It bridges science and spirituality in a compelling way.
