The goal of Siddhartha's quest:
Siddhartha's quest is a quest for a true understanding of Om, and his quest will lead him far from home and through several paths of wisdom before he can reach his spiritual goal. Hesse modeled Siddhartha on the Buddha, and the lives of the two figures are similar in many ways.
Siddhartha Gautama (better known as the Buddha, according to legend, a Hindu prince who renounced his position and wealth to seek enlightenment as a spiritual ascetic, attained his goal and, in preaching his path to others, founded Buddhism in India in the 6th-5th centuries BCE
Accordingly, the rāja named the child Rāhula, because he did not want his son to pursue a spiritual life as a mendicant.
