Siddhartha is not your typical spiritual book, it is a world known classics with philosophical themes and variety of interpretations. It is a simple read but you can spend a lot of time thinking about it and trying to explain its meaning is very difficult. It is an essentially a book about "achieving meaning" and a life journey in search of enlightenment. Or you can take it also as a book about a boy who is trying to fulfil his purpose in life by searching, only to find out that searching is not needed.

Let me know in the comments what are your favourite books about spirituality!
Basically, it teaches us to live life and experience it for ourselves. Wisdom cannot be taught. It needs to be experienced. Experience everything that the world has to offer- good AND bad, pain and happiness. It's all part of the world.
Yes. Well said. Siddhartha said to Govinda that when a wise man passes wisdom on to someone, it sounds like foolishness. Knowledge can be taught but wisdom comes with experience.
We had this book as a mandatory reading at high school. One of the few useful readings we used to get appointed on our reading lists at Eastern European schools :)
Nice! I find these reading lists very good actually looking back. Only they were too ambitious and many of the books I read back then I didn't understand at all.
This book is correnty in our university syllabus so I was learn from of you video summary such a adorable describe 😋✌️
Thanks! It's great that you are studying this book at school, I think it is a very wise one.
@@OdolenaKostovaDigitalMarketing 😂 I am not in school 😃
Great video. I love the range of books you cover. A spiritual book I like: The Moviegoer, by Walker Percy. It’s fiction, it’s not overtly spiritual but it is about a person who is living his daily life yet being pulled in a search for meaning in life. philosophy and spirituality on meaning are subtlety woven into the narrative and the place meaning is ultimately found was a surprise to me but it shouldn’t have been because much great wisdom literature through the ages points to the same place.
Wow I’m gonna try getting it
Come to India 🙌🏻🙏🏻
This was a really good, concise and to the point explanation of the book, thanks for that.
Best novel ever❤
She's smart
Great summary

Thank you! You too!
Jignesh singania has to be the most gujurati name ever lol
Thanks for sharing!
Interesting recommendation. My name is Siddharth as well. I will give this book a shot!
I know other people with this name, it must be quite common in India. The book is very good, it's one of the textbook classics for students in Germany
@@OdolenaKostovaDigitalMarketing yeah, it's fairly common. It was the real name of Buddha after all.
Yes, I guess this is a pun of names - as the character actually meats Buddha in the book.
@@OdolenaKostovaDigitalMarketing hi mam I am from India I am doing project on this book sidhartha.. now that book is not available to me I am doing this based on information on internet and can you pls provide me some long quotes in this book . Quotes with more than four lines .... I hv messaged you in Instagram
Hey, I just read this book and loved it. Your review pointed out somethings I may have not acknowledged so thank you. could you please leave a reply comment of the books you say are similar to this one. The alchemist , the greatist salesman in the world ad what are some more?
Thank you
Thanks a lot! These are the two books.
Miss,this book based on true story or fictional story??
It's a fictional story, not part of the Buddhist teaching. The writer created this story to illustrate the philosophy
But which Kamala is it at 5:24?
His wife bro....
This was the best summary, thanks gotta read the book again tho with a highlighter.
Siddhartha Gautam Buddha was born in Nepal.
Great video. Thank you.
Awesome! First time hearing this woman talk - her clarity of thought, critical analysis and insight into what she describes is truly remarkable.
I much appreciate her summary and deeply feel that her time at Google ( though likely very profitable ) is good for them but less for the rest of us who love her ability at concise analysis of complicated topics.
Thank you!:-)😃🫡
noice. the ride never ends, so never stop
Where is this from?
Do you have the analyse of poesy Rat(advice)Herman Hesse🙏
Great review dear but why are you so gorgeous?
Iam gautam but my first name is not siddhartha
Gap in this study novel?
You Don't have a clue dude😊
what a lovely smile
He basically dismissed the Buddha. On the one hand he saw how Buddha was very wise to the point of being enlightened, on the other hand he thought to him self he knows better. He thought he knew that what Buddha was doing (teaching) was not the right way.
It's like comming to the best neurosurgeon in the world telling him, yes you are the best and you know everything but I think I know better.
He basically didn't listen to the Buddha. Buddha would never teach that you need all the experiences from the world to become enlightened because it's not right.
I could say a lot more, but I guess this comment is getting too long.
Upnishads
When one tears out the tree from its roots,
the tree can grow no more,
out of which root[34] the man grows forth,
when he is struck down by death?
He, who is born, is not born,
Who is supposed to beget him anew? (...)
Brahman[35] is bliss, Brahman is knowledge,
It is the highest good of one who gives charity,
and also of one who stands away (renounces) and knows it.
- Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, 3:9[31][36]
