Child Hood Of Siddharth Gautam :
Siddhartha was born in a royal family. He was brought up by his mother's younger sister, Maha Pajapati due to early death of his mother Queen Maha Maya in seven days after his birth. By tradition, he is said to have been destined by birth to the life of a prince, and had three palaces (for seasonal occupation) built for him.
But a
holy man prophesized great things for the young Siddhartha: He would
either be a great king or he would be a great spiritual leader.His
father, said to be King Suddhodana, wishing for his son to be a great
king, and raised his son in opulence in a palace built just for the
child and sheltered him from knowledge of religious teachings and from
knowledge of human suffering.
According to custom, he married at the age of sixteen to Yasodhara also named Bhaddakachchana, Subhadraka, Gopa or Bimba, daughter of Sakyan, Suppabudhha.
Siddhartha and Yashodhara had a
son, Rahul.
Gautam himself named his son Rahul, meaning an impediment or hindrance.
But his life of total seclusion continued for another thirteen years.
