Vasudeva
Фильм Сидхартха поставлен по книге Германа Гессе. Молодой брамин в поисках просветления посвящает свою жизнь медитации и практикам, но чувствует неудовлетворенность и безуспешность всех своих попыток обрести свободу. Однажды его посещает понимание, что все усилия и техники только укрепляют его Эго. Он приходит к Будде (всё происходит во время Гаутамы Будды) и говорит, что дальше будет следовать своим путем. Но возвращение к мирской жизни, также, не приносит продолжительного удовлетворения и покоя. И тогда он постигает суть срединного пути и простой естественной жизни в настоящем моменте, без усилий и стремлений что-либо получить.
