Shravasti  (Paperback, Dr. K. P Wasnik)

Shravasti, an ancient city in Uttar Pradesh, India, holds immense historical and spiritual significance, particularly in Buddhism. This book explores its rich history, culture, and spiritual heritage. It was in Shravasti that the Buddha spent 24 rainy seasons, delivering numerous teachings, making it as significant as Lumbini, Kapilavastu, Rajgir, Bodh Gaya, Sarnath, and Kushinagar in Buddhist tradition. The book highlights the selfless contributions of those who upheld the Dhamma, offering a comprehensive account of the major events during the Buddha’s time in Shravasti. It also details the influential figures who encountered the Buddha and the sermons he delivered there. Currently, detailed literature on Shravasti’s history is scarce, making it difficult for visitors and scholars to access in-depth information about its rich cultural heritage. This book serves as a valuable resource, shedding light on the city's origins, development, and historical significance.
