The Last Journey. This is again for Buddhists across the world, especially for those who had faith in me. This is my humble present to them. Remember I had once requested you folks to give me the names of the places the Buddha rested on his last journey. I got a copy of the Maha Parinirvana sutta and found all the mispronounced names. The places the Buddha visited in his last journey are at last identified. This video starts from Pandarak where I found the Buddhas foot mark on the banks of the Ganges. He crossed over to Godhna village which is mispronounced in the sutta as Kotigama. From there he goes to the brick structure in Navada villlage (mispronounced in the sutta as Nadika), then to Pidhauli village (mispronounced as Vaishali), Bitholi village (mispronounced as Veluha or Beluha where he became sick), Chak Muni (which is the mango grove presented by Amrapali), Chak Amra (Amrapalis house where he had dinner), Chak Mehro (where he predicted his death to Mara), Chak Rukiya (where the people of Vaishali stopped him from going to his nirvana), Garahiya Chak (where he looked at Vaishali/Pidhauli for the last time with the elephant look), Bhatgaon (mispronounced as Bandagama ), Dalsinghsarai (where he created a river by magic to force the Lichavis to return), Mushrigarari (mispronounced as Hathigama), Muradpur Bangra (mispronounced as Ambagama), Chainpur Bangra (mispronounced as Jambugama), Bhagwanpur (mispronounced as Bhoganagara), Parsa village (mispronounced as Pava), Bahuarwa village (mispronounced as Upbhataka or the preaching hall the Mallas made), Sugauli village (where the Buddha ate pork), Sagauli station (where the disciples ate spinach), Bairatpur village (where a diarrhea affected Buddha rested under a tree), Kohra rivulet (the rivulet that became muddied and undrinkable. Kohra means exactly that.), Sikrana river (mispronounced as Kukkuta river. It is the local name of the Burhi Gandak river), Gudra village (Mango grove of Cundaka), Lal Parsa village (where Pukkusa the Mallas son saw the tired Buddha sitting under a tree. The latter preached to him there. Pukkusa is a mispronunciation of Parsa ) Raxaul (mispronounced as Kushinagar), Sirsiya river (mispronounced as Hirannavati river), Gah Hawa Mai Temple in Birgunj ( which was the Sal grove of the Mallas where he died. According to Huen Tsang the ghost of the Buddhas mother came and wept over the dead body. Which is why it is called "Gah hawa mai"), Murli Chowk (cross road in Birgunj stating the spot the funeral procession turned east), Khutwajabdi (where the Buddhas dead body was finally burnt and the relics divided). The video is for an hour so if you forgive my boring monotonous voice, you will be rewarded with satellite pictures of all the places. You will notice that all the places from Parsa village (country of Pava) to where he died and was burnt have names according to his famished health. Example, the thin rivulet where the Buddha forced Anand to give him water. 500 bullock carts had crossed over making the water muddy. It is called "Kohra" which means misty or muddy. It flows one thosand meters parallel to Burhi Gandak river and finally enters it. This is why Anand tells the Buddha to avoid this rivers water as it had become muddy and the Gandak river was closeby. The Burhi gandak river which Buddhists mispronounce as "Kukkuta" is called Narayani in Nepal and Burhi gandak downstream near Muzaffarpur. But in the stretch adjoining Parsa (country of Pava) village and "Kohra" rivulet it is called "Sikrana." Sikrana means to shrivel up and directly hints at the Diarrhea inflicyed Buddha shrivelling up after getting dysentry. "Heres the link folks. Enjoy the first satellite sightings of the entire route: And don't forget to subscribe to my youtube channel "Buddha Exhumed" for more videos of lost Buddhist sites. And please share the videos so that it will reach as much Buddhists as possible.
