In the crystalline clarity of Advaita Vedanta, the Ashtavakra Gita—also known as the Song of Ashtavakra—unfolds as a profound dialogue between the young sage Ashtavakra and King Janaka of Mithila, revealing the direct path to liberation with unmatched power and simplicity.This classical scripture cuts straight to the heart of non-dual reality: the Self is already free, eternal, and whole—beyond body, mind, and world. With fearless precision, Ashtavakra dismantles illusion, ego, and attachment, guiding the seeker to recognize their true nature as pure awareness, boundless and unchanging.
Beloved and quoted by Ramakrishna, Vivekananda, Ramana Maharshi, and Radhakrishnan, this brief yet luminous text stands as one of the most direct expressions of Advaita wisdom—speaking not to the intellect alone, but to the deepest knowing within every contemplative heart.John Richards' clear and faithful translation makes this ancient treasure accessible to modern readers, inviting a quiet recognition of the freedom that is always here.A rare gem for those drawn to non-dual teachings, self-inquiry, and the gentle dissolution of separation.
