________________ I AM MAHAVIRA MY CHILDHOOD When the festivities of my birth were over, my father called the astrologer pundits. He got my horoscope (Kundalī) prepared by them. They told my father that I would be a highly proficient boy. Besides the horoscopic details, I also had the distinctive marks on my body parts and my foot prints were also specific. On this basis, the prognosticians also predicted that I will be a brave and patient man. I will be either a Cakravarti or a religious teacher of the world.
