Short note on Buddhas life.

The Buddha who is the founder of the Buddhist religion is called Buddha
Shakyamuni Shakya is the name of the royal family into which he was
born, and Muni means Able One. Buddha Shakyamuni was born as a
royal prince in 624 BC in a place called Lumbini, in what is now Nepal. His
mothers name was Queen Mayadevi and his fathers name was King
Shuddhodana. The Buddha who is the founder of the Buddhist religion is
called Buddha Shakyamuni.
According to ancient tradition, Queen Maya, his mother, first had a dream
of a beautiful white elephant coming down into her womb, and this was
interpreted as a sign that the Buddha, or a universal emperor, was about to
be born. When her time came, Queen Maya went into the garden and gave
painless birth to the bodhisattva. He immediately walked, spoke, and was
received by Brahma.
Five days after his birth, the young prince received the name of Siddhartha.
When his parents took him to the temple, the statues of the gods prostrated
themselves before him, great were the rejoicings of the people over the birth
of this illustrious prince. Also at this time a devout old man named Asita

came down from the Himalayas to meet the newborn prince. An ascetic of
high spiritual attainments, Asita was particularly pleased to hear this happy
news. Having been a tutor to the King, he visited the palace to see the royal
baby. The king, who felt honored by his unexpected visit, carried the child up
to him in order to make the child pay him due reverence. To the surprise of
all, the child's legs turned and rested on the matted locks of the ascetic.
