Nalanda
has a very ancient history. It was frequently visited by Lord
Vardhamana Mahavir and Lord Buddha in the 6th century BC. During
his sojourns, the Lord Buddha found this place prosperous, swelling,
teeming with population and containing mango-groves. It is also
supposed to be the birth place of Sariputra, one of the Chief
disciple of the Lord Buddha.
The University of Nalanda was founded in the 5th century by
the Gupta emperors. The courses of study included scriptures
of Buddhism, Vedas, Hetu Vidya (Logic), Shabda Vidya (grammar),
Chikitsa vidya (medicine) etc.
The university received royal
patronage of the great emperor Harshavardhana of Kannauj and
also pala kings. It was a great centre of learning and students
from foreign countries
were also attracted to this university. Its importance as a
monastic university continued until the end of the 12th century.
