Our highschool teacher made this book apart of our curriculum and subconsciously it lives with me…. Back then I didn’t think much of it as a high-school student but now everything makes so much sense
I read this 12 years ago and even though it is not my favorite book it is probably the book I recommend the most. I think everyone should be the Siddhartha or their own storyline. The world is foolish and filled with child like people so please know thyself and love thyself but be humble. The hardest lesson probably is detachment. You could lose everything in a moment and then lose yourself in despair. Try to have a strong mind and strong will… and fasting as a form of self denial really can teach us patience, and the bigger picture of life and survival. It may seem cliche but live today as your last- Carpe Diem.
Detachment from worldly desires which can never be satisfied. Both Buddha and Jesus encountered the temptation from maya/illusionary energy/devil.. The mind can be our best of friend, the mind can be our greatest enemy as well. We must train our mind to be the master then we are nearer to end the Wheel Of Samsara, repeated birth and death. When the mind becomes our servant, we remain in the material world to suffer Four Fold miseries - Repeated Birth, Diseases, Old Age and Death. The present of the unique individual immortal SOUL/consciousness within the body in the heart is called life/living . The soul leaves the body through the top of the head is called death (conscious NO More). Human can read,write, procreate; cat meows, bird chirps due to the present of the soul.
What we attached we become. Detachment of irreligious activities, anger, fame, jealousy , violence, selfishness because all these are undesirable deeds/work/action (bad Karma) that bind us to low birth. Cultivate Compassion, selflessness, kindness, humility and other divine qualities ( good karma)will bring us closer to END the wheel of Samsara. No More Karma = pure in heart) consciousness = no more attachment to all worldly desires = liberation ( no longer having a material/physical body). 🙏♥️ We are All in this ride of Samsara for a very long time. We have a different body in previous life ( male/female, American/ Italian/ German..) Our present body is the result of our karma in previous lives. Our next birth is the manifestation (fruit/result) of our activities/karma at present life. Yoga/Samadhi means our mind and activities are linking with the Supreme (put worldly activities aside for the time being).

I read this book on a beach one day. When I was done, I went for a hike in the woods. The colors in all nature was glowing and heightened. It was very beautiful and amazing. I was mesmerized. But then my phone rang and instantly everything went back to the way it had been before. I was 20 at the time and I took it for granted. Although I still can't explain what happened that day. Weird.
4:52:21 you learned to *love* everything around you as part of the one. But since this is a teaching that cannot be taught/learned, you quickly had to forget it to return to your daily life ;)
One of the most beautiful story ever read and now heard. Actually Hesse named this story a Hindu Poem. So subtle and, at the same time, so eloquent; full of symbolism, just as any other masterpiece by H. Hesse. Thanks for the reading and sharing.
There was a well famous prince named Siddhartha in India, 5th century BC. He became a great person. He expelled two extremes of the life and choose a middle path. He was the Supreme Buddha. 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷 The awakened one.

Rishi, I'm 78. The first time I read it I was in my 20s. I read it every couple years and come away with something new each time. It goes through life with you and changes like we challenge. It is a personal gift from Hesse.
I read this wonderful book in 1975 when I was 17. My Dad had recently passed away. I was already on the spiritual/psychedelic path. (The psychedelic experience, Leary, Rick Albert AKA Ram Dass and Metzner.) Hesses Stephen wolf novel with it's Magic Theatre were a very intricate part of the book. Which led me to Siddhartha and opened my eyes to the Bodhisattva way. The Path was fully opened to me and I always felt it was a gift from my Dad. ✨️
As a Buddhist , only yesterday Nov.23 2021 I heard of this book and so happy to find on UA-cam! I listen to this beautiful book day and night and really enjoy it so much . There are so many new stories about the Buddha first time to hear . It is also a healing book and reader has a beautiful voice with a healing power!
It's great to have an audiobook of Siddhartha. I grew up sort of Buddhist and Hesse is my favourite author since I read The Glass Bead Game so this book is the perfect combination for me.
Yes, me too. Now I want to follow his son! Also, this is my favorite translation; there are many others. I am a Hesse fan, yet to get through "The Glass Bead Game."
What an ending tho. Glass Bead Game is also beautiful. To this very day my reading of that book helps me stay at peace with the horrors of the academy, time in "education", technocracy and our mutual alienation.
I love this beautiful reading... Thank you for this. I've been listening to it over and over ... Listening mostly in the kitchen, as I prepare food and clean, and in the evenings. Each time, I hear something new. It's much better than listening to the news.
Thank you Adrian for reading this book, you have done an excellent job. Your voice seems to fit this book perfectly. You have given us a nice gift. Thank you 🙏
Wonderful, though I've read this book more than once,this was the best.so true the oneness of everything,so true that life is the teacher.om Shanthi Shanthi Shanthi ❤️❤️❤️
I went to high school in California in the late 70’s. all my English teachers made us read the most horrible books. Sure wish this book was on the required reading list. It’s very profound. Loved every bit. Blessings to all. Even my horrible english teachers!
This book has really helped me out. I thank you for making this audio-book. It was my honors English homework this summer and having it read out loud has made it easy for me to understand while in a way where I can just relax. This book has really opened my eyes. Thank you so much.
Iam blessed to have this calling, the joy of able to hear and be in this journey means a lot to me, True mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can tough the poison of hatred without being harmed. This book is a signpost pointing me the way back home. And a confirmation to my thoughts.
"Words do not express thoughts very well. They always become a little different immediately after they are expressed, a little distorted, a little foolish." - Herman Hesse
Hermann Hesse is one of the greatest artists, philosophers and sages who ever lived! In whole world-literature there are not many poetic and philosophical works - as great as many are - that I would range on the same level as the divine masterpieces by Johann Sebastian Bach, the very greatest musician and composer ever. But to that few works of literature which, for me, can be paralleled to the masterpieces by Bach, due to their sublime beauty, wideness, depth, transcendene etc., belongs definitely Hesse`s "Siddhartha". "Schon verstand er, lautlos das Om zu sprechen, das Wort der Worte, es lautlos in sich hinein zu sprechen mit dem Einhauch, es lautlos aus sich heraus zu sprechen mit dem Aushauch, mit gesammelter Seele, die Stirn umgeben vom Glanz des klardenkenden Geistes. Schon verstand er, im Innern seines Wesens Atman zu wissen, unzerstörbar, eins mit dem Weltall." ["Already he understood how to speak soundlessly the Om, the word of the words, how to speak it soundlessly into himself with the inhalation, how to speak it soundlessly out of himself with the exhalation, with gathered soul, the forehead surrounded by the glance of the clearly-thinking spirit. Already he understood how to know in the innermost of his entity Atman, undestroyable, one with the universe."] (Excerpt from H. Hesse`s "Siddhartha" / A faithful, verbatim translation from the German language) Now, that`s what I call perfect poetic language and deepest philosophy! Greetings from Germany Michael Hontheim P.S. Thank you, Hermann, for all of your lifework!
I had received the digital copy of sheetro b got around to reading it although I read a lot of Buddhist literature and it just short of occurred to me the search for it this week and over the last 3 days I listened to this and now have finished my listening I had thoughts that should author was the Buddha but apparently he wasn't and I have always felt and believed that the answers are all inside and that was brought out by this book I can see that I will be listening to this again. Thank you for providing it! And hopefully if anyone is reading these comments they could figure out what I'm trying to say thank you very muchbh
I recently looked for this book because we read it in high school. I’m was not ready for this book then. Now I have searched it out and listened to the whole book over the last week. What a joy this has been.
I admire folk who volunteer to read the classics - presumably for little or no pay. The knack - or more precisely art - of reading aloud is to keep the listeners' interest without over emphasising words and phrases every few seconds. This gets very wearing and devalues the text so that the import is lost. I think it takes an actor to really bring the book to life. Their 'Dubliners' and 'Sun Also Rises' is not half bad... and 'Homage to Catalonia' is quite good.
How I love this book. I love Buddha, Rama, Quetzalcoalt, Jesus and all the rest that have said the same message of love. Thank you HOLY SPIRIT for your love and your teaching.
All the things it gives you to think out. You are loved you are important you are needed. You can do all things you think and believe that you can and you will succeed.
Chapter 3 notes: Suffering is inevitable. Siddartha renounced his old life to be a leader in his new life. You will not be able to explain what you learn on your journey. What you learn is a personal experience & lesson. “Be aware of too much wisdom” (don’t be overly intellectual to the point you miss the primary message and the opportunity to apply what you learn)
Chapter 2 notes: Siddartha learned to control hisself with the semanas. He learned to decenter the ego, control his breath, and embrace the pains of life. His thrist for knowledge is what keeps him going. The purpose of life is to learn, but you waste your life when you experience frustration for not having the answers yet.
The brilliance of novelty and inspection of the self has, in my life, only been experienced with Phycodelics. They let you crack open the door to nirvana and get a taste of the king.
Siddhartha is a name used to describe lord Maha Vishnu, the preserver of the hindu trinity. Siddhartha Gauthama on the other hand was the birth name, or the given name of the prince of Kapilavastu from a sakya clan in the north of india. He was born hindu and his parents named him Siddhartha, after Vishnu. It is after he attained enlightenment at Budh Gaya, that he was called the Buddha.
Siddharth Krishnan in this particular book, Siddhartha's name is derived from two Sanskrit words. "Siddha" which is defined as "achieved" and "artha" which is defined as "meaning" or "wealth".
This book taught me that you are the universe itself. You're not a different body, you're a part of the universe and are engaged in it's causes and effects. Like if you agree!

I admire folk who volunteer to read the classics - presumably for little or no pay. The knack - or more precisely art - of reading aloud is to keep the listeners' interest without over emphasising words and phrases every few seconds. This gets very wearing and devalues the text so that the import is lost.
I think it takes an actor to really bring the book to life. Their 'Dubliners' and 'Sun Also Rises' is not half bad... and 'Homage to Catalonia' is quite good.

Yes, Siddhartha was His name in lay life. Once He became enlightened he was called the Buddha, which is only a title which means enlightened one.
All the things it gives you to think out. You are loved you are important you are needed. You can do all things you think and believe that you can and you will succeed.

thanks for the reading. Books sound better in British anyway then the voice in my head.
The brilliance of novelty and inspection of the self has, in my life, only been experienced with Phycodelics. They let you crack open the door to nirvana and get a taste of the king.
Love is all of Spirituality and to find wisdom is to know Love...

Siddhartha is a name used to describe lord Maha Vishnu, the preserver of the hindu trinity. Siddhartha Gauthama on the other hand was the birth name, or the given name of the prince of Kapilavastu from a sakya clan in the north of india. He was born hindu and his parents named him Siddhartha, after Vishnu. It is after he attained enlightenment at Budh Gaya, that he was called the Buddha.
gautam buddha was born in lumbini nepal not in india
Siddharth Krishnan in this particular book, Siddhartha's name is derived from two Sanskrit words. "Siddha" which is defined as "achieved" and "artha" which is defined as "meaning" or "wealth".
How could you say that’s a bad book? Hesse, my dear, beloved, please forgive them.
Thank you so much for this audio…
This book taught me that you are the universe itself. You're not a different body, you're a part of the universe and are engaged in it's causes and effects. Like if you agree!
I love Hermann Hesse
