Siddhartha and Vasudeva both reach similar enlightenment because they both find their answers through the river. And at the same time siddhartha’s is also different from Vasudeva’s enlightenment because Siddhartha first learns all about the banes of materialistic living. Govinda also comes upon the same enlightenment when he seeks the wise enlightened ferryman which turns out to be his old friend Siddhartha. However, his enlightenment is slightly different since he takes on his boon through the form of kissing Siddhartha on the forehead. Gotama’s enlightenment is different since it follows Buddhism and the eightfold path, embracing all, nirvana.
