SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Siddhartha\, by Herman Hesse \nWhen Herman Hesse visited India in the early days of the 20th century\, he was captivated by the people\, their customs\, their culture\, and their religion. On returning to Germany\, he wrote a masterpiece on a young man’s search for identity and meaning in a civilization that has lost its way. Loosely based on the early life of the Buddha\, the book documents the journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening of a character called Siddhartha. \nThe name Siddhartha was the one the Buddha was known by before his renunciation. Siddhartha in Sanskrit is translated as “Siddha” (achieved) and “artha” (what was searched for). The novel follows Siddhartha from a life of comfort of privilege to his quest for truth in a world plagued by sorrow and suffering. \nThe themes of Siddhartha are universal in that they are an account of a young person’s search for meaning — one that all readers can relate to. As Hesse skillfully takes us on a journey\, he uses his poetic prose to challenge our preconceived notions of what a spiritual life and meaningful self-enrichment entail. Blind adherence to all systems of belief is shunned in favor of living in the moment and appreciating its ever-changing nature. Generations of readers have and will continue to find wisdom in the pages of Siddhartha.
