Unknown facts regarding Gautam Buddha:

Astrologer’s prophecy: An astrologer foresaw that the son of Suddhodhana would grow up to be a great person or a holy man even before Gautam Buddha was born. This alarmed Suddhodhana, who constructed three palaces filled with opulent worldly amenities after Siddhartha Gautam was born in order to keep him away from religious teachings.

The family of Gautam Buddha: Gautam Buddha spent many years confined to the palace, preventing him from learning about the outside world. His parents were Queen Maha, a princess of Koli, and Suddhodhana, King of Nepal. Rahul is his son, whom he had with Yashodhara after they were married.

Introduction to Spirituality: At the age of 29, while out for a ride in the countryside, Gautam Buddha saw four things: an old man, a corpse, a sick man, and a wandering ascetic. This experience made him curious about life and inspired him to learn more. These experiences altered his outlook on life.

Wife and son: Early in life, Gautam Buddha left his family to pursue his quest for the meaning of life. Later on, though, he made amends with both his father and his wife, who went on to become a nun and disciple. At the age of seven, Rahul, his son, became the youngest monk and began living with Gautam Buddha.

Travels of Gautam Buddha: Up until the age of 80, Gautam Buddha travelled nonstop in search of answers regarding life and existence. Since nothing in this world is permanent, he taught his disciples to do the best for humanity.
