The Light of Asia: The Poem That Defined the Buddha Ramesh Jairam
'The Light of Asia' is an epic poem by Sir Edwin Arnold that was first published in 1879. It quickly became a huge sensation and has continued to resonate powerfully across the world over the last century and a half. It is a narrative of the life and message of the Buddha.
At about the same time, it deeply moved a young man in Colombo who has become famous in history as Anagarika Dharmapala. The poem captivated an Indian monk who remains an iconic personality-Swami Vivekananda. It caught the attention of an aspiring Indian lawyer in London in 1889.
This man later became immortal as Mahatma Gandhi. A few years hence it impacted a teenager in Allahabad who would, in 1947, become the first Prime Minister of India-Jawaharlal Nehru. Two copies of the book adorned the bookshelves of B.R.
