Ashtavakra Gita - Classics - Paperback

by Swami Nityaswarupananda (Author)

The Aá á -Ä vakra GÄ tÄ, also known as the Aá á -Ä vakra Saá ƒhitÄ, is a short treatise on Advaita VedÄ nta, ascribed to the great sage Aá á -Ä vakra. Sage Aá á -Ä vakra 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 Aá á -Ä vakra and his royal disciple, King Janaka. To Aá á -Ä vakra, self-knowledge through direct mystical intuition is the only goal to be reached and experienced in the dynamic silence of oneâ (TM)s own deepest meditation.
