Abstract

Many years ago I was told a Buddhist story, according to which Sidarta Gautama, the Enlightened One, was going to Benares to deliver a great sermon there.
Thousands of faithful followed the Buddha and accompanied him on his pilgrimage, because Yama, the god of death and hell, had announced that he would end the great "Light of Asia". To avoid the prophecy, the followers of the son of Maya decided to illuminate their path with candles, torches, lamps and whatever luminous object they had within reach.
