Siddhartha:
About a Young Hindu Brahmin who leaves his family to find religious satisfaction
His journey takes his entire life
Idea of the cyclical nature of life: Siddhartha’s son eventually leaves to find enlightenment on his own
Importance of not blindly following faith and rituals
Siddhartha rejected the idea of teachers because he believed enlightenment could not be taught, must be learned individually.
Govinda (Siddhartha’s closest friend) finds enlightenment by kissing Siddhartha’s head, not through words.
