ASTAVAKRA GITA (20-Parts)
Astavakra Gita is the enlightened discourse between Astavakra Muni (Sage/Teacher) and Janaka Raja (King/Student) on the nature of the soul, reality and enlightenment. It offers a radical vision and experience of non-dualistic meditation and realization. The Astavakra Gita is the perfection of intuitive knowledge of the absolute reality and oneness of the Self. It is held by Yogis and spiritual teachers as the essence and highest knowledge of Advaita Vedanta, the wisdom of One Reality. Especially loved by Sri Ramakrishna and his disciple Swami Vivekananda, as well as by Sri Ramana Maharshi, and now graciously expounded by the living Sage and Master of Yoga, H. H. Sri Swami Jyotirmayananda Saraswati, who has inspired Sri Sudarshan to propound this scripture. The Astavakra Gita continues to guide the most sincere and serious spiritual aspirants in their understanding, meditation and realization of the Self!
