Discussion Highlights:
-

Siddhartha is introduced as a young Brahmin, the son of a respected priest in ancient India.

Despite his privileged upbringing and access to knowledge, Siddhartha feels restless and unsatisfied with his life.

He becomes increasingly drawn to the teachings of the Samanas, a group of wandering ascetics who renounce worldly possessions and seek spiritual enlightenment through extreme self-discipline.

After much contemplation, Siddhartha decides to leave his home and join the Samanas, despite his father's objections.

Siddhartha quickly proves himself to be a dedicated student, mastering the Samanas' rigorous practices of fasting, meditation, and self-denial.

However, Siddhartha eventually becomes disillusioned with the Samanas' teachings and begins to feel that their asceticism is not leading him to the spiritual enlightenment he seeks.
