Siddhartha

In a very simple prose Hesse has conveyed a very profound message for all seekers. A brahmin boy follows his heart and goes through various lives to finally understand what it means to be enlightened. He experiences life as a pious brahmin a Samana a rich merchant a lover and an ordinary ferryman to a father. Neither a practitioner nor a devotee neither meditating nor reciting Siddhartha comes to blend in with the world resonating with the rhythms of nature bending the reader’s ear down to hear answers from the river.
