Ashtavakra Gita

The A??avakra Gita, also known as the A??avakra Sa?hita, is a short treatise on Advaita Vedanta, ascribed to the great sage A??avakra. Sage A??avakra demonstrates a profound knowledge of Brahman that Swami Nityaswarupanand of Ramakrishna Mission has placed before the readers in this book in simple, easy-to-understand English. The subtle philosophical truths are expounded in the form of a lucid dialogue between the teenage sage A??avakra and his royal disciple, King Janaka. To A??avakra, self-knowledge through direct mystical intuition is the only goal to be reached and experienced in the dynamic silence of one' s own deepest meditation. Swami Nityaswarupanand' s English translations, word definitions, commentary, and scholarly introduction have all significantly increased the worth of the original text. This classic collectable is a must-read for all!
