The news of "Little Buddha" hit headlines in the national and international press last year. As the Buddha (real name "Ram Bahadur Bomjan"), who meditated for 10 months "without food and water" in a jungle here, vanished from the jungle in March last year, his parents -- who otherwise were busy giving interviews to the press -- have been living a quiet life these days.During those days, Maya Devi, mother of Bomjan, used to be busy giving interviews to the national and international media. Nowadays, she has been utilizing her leisure time by cutting grass. "I am going to cut grass, as no one has been here for several days," said Maya Devi.
Last year, Bomjan left his home to meditate at the age of 16 without informing his family. After 10 months of meditation, Bomjan again left his place of meditation from Ratanpuri. Because of his absence in the jungle, this family spends days doing household chores.
