Is Siddhartha Jesus?

As I was reading Siddhartha, I couldn't help but notice some major similarities between him and Jesus. I made this connection after reading the Gospels.

First of all, both Jesus and Siddhartha were so intelligent in their youth that they debated with the elderly all religious and spiritual topics. In page 1 it says that "Siddhartha had already long taken part in learned men's conversations". Jesus had done the same when he escaped home for a few days to debate religion with wise men.

Also, both were experienced in the art of meditation and prayer. Jesus never sinned and always had this strong connection with God. Apparently, Siddhartha had the same connection with Atman. "He [Siddhartha] knew how to recognize Atman within the depth of his being." (Page 2).

Also, both of them had disciples. Jesus had Simon Peter, John and the other ten disciples and Siddhartha had Govinda. In page two there is a long paragraph describing Govinda's love for Siddhartha and his willingness to follow him anywhere.

Both were movers of the masses. Siddhartha moved people with his "king-like eyes and slim figure". Jesus did this with his miracles and teachings. That is why I think they were so influential in religious history.

Those were some similarities I found between these two spiritual leaders. I'm sure I'll find more as I continue reading the book. So far it is really interesting and entertaining.
