Gautama Siddhartha

By ILOBA NKEMNACHO

Gautama Siddhartha is bound by fate to be the head of the Gautama family and a great leader of men in the future but he wishes for a different life for himself, a life of clarity and understanding of the world beyond his high walls and privilege. In order to follow the path he wishes to take in life, he must go against fate and abandon his wealth and comfort.

After finally gaining the courage and walking the path of his own choice, Siddhartha's journey to attain enlightenment and peace begins, from his time as part of the Jain movement and following their philosophy of complete self-deprivation. Over the course of his life he has a chance encounter with the leader and followers of Charvaka ideology, a movement that have embraced the philosophy of overindulgence and excess. Siddhartha would eventually come to discover the midway philosophy, a philosophy that would become the foundation of the Buddhist religion.
