REVIEW: Life Of Princess Yashodara: Wife And Disciple Of The Lord Buddha - Sunity Devee

A very strange version of a familiar tale. Several of the facts given do not match with other books that I have read and the book is very short in page numbers despite having giant sized pages. However, the ending chapter is very informative, as I have been interested in the former lives of the Buddha & co. and my only other way of following these is currently on computer donwloads, and I much prefer an actual book.

The book is full of detailed or imaginative descriptions, which though seemingly fanciful would provide a clearer picture of what may have been, had their accuracy not been in question. Overall, the bok is well worth reading, but more for the sake of interest than serious learning.
