Siddhartha

Posted by earthly paradise on August 4, 2013

Hi dearest friends, about ten years ago i read a book That i received from a friend of mine as a gift.A book which i can't resist reading it again after 8 times. This book is a story of a young Indian who embarks upon a journey to find the meaning of existence. Based on the novel by Hermann Hesse.

In very simple prose Herman Hesse has conveyed a very profound message for all seekers. This is a story of a brahmin boy who follows his heart and goes through various lives to finally understand what it means to be enlightened. Siddhartha experiences life as a pious brahmin, a Samana , a rich merchant, a lover, an ordinary ferryman to a father--each life bringing a new awakening, bringing him closer to the truth till he finally is one with Buddha.--Submitted by Payal Koul .

( to dear Sima.I hope u like and enjoy it ).

    I also loved reading Siddhartha. It's alongside with 'The Glass Bead Game' my all-time favorite of Hesse's books.

    Hi earthly paradise, thank you for posting this discussion. I just read the first Chapter. If possible, can you tell me what is Samana? Can you explain to me the hierarchy of Brahman. So sorry, because I am trying to put things in place when I am reading.

      Hi dear noa, sorry for delay. Samana is used to call a person in an special Indian religion.

       brahman is , like samana, not exactly but close, is a clergyman in its way.

      u can get the meaning while reading the book.

      hope we all find the way we r looking, like Siddhartha.
