Explanation:
Govinda has come the way of Siddhartha, but on his own — <u><em>not as a disciple or as a follower of Siddhartha. </em></u>
Govinda's attaining the transcendent beatific smile and union with the river of life is, therefore, his own. Most important, he has accomplished this in the only way one can — independently.
In Siddhartha, Govinda is Siddhartha's <u>oldest friend</u>. We meet Govinda in the village of Siddhartha's birth. The story follows both of their attempts to find enlightenment. Initially, the two leave a life of great comfort, working as Brahmin and trying to find enlightenment through rituals.
