This is not a book for light reading - it is about a spiritual journey. Siddhartha and his friend Govinda, leave their home to discover themselves - a spiritual quest. They join the ascetics, fast, pray and meditate intensely and yet Siddhartha cannot find his peace.
They hear of the Buddha and Govinda decides to join his followers. But Siddhartha wants his own discovery for himself. He moves ahead, meets Kamala, is driven towards material pleasures but after some time abandons this life too. Eventually, all his experiences, all the events in his life help him to meet his spiritual guide and he has his own awakening. Not a book for everyone. It comes across as a guide for discovering our own spirituality.
