The Ashtavakra Gita ~ Part 1 ~ Advaita-Vedanta

The Ashtavakra Gita is a short treatise on Advaita Vedanta which
systematically deals with the mystical experiences of the
individual in their quest for truth, transcendental peace and
bliss. It was composed before the common era, most likely between
500-400BC. Some scholars claim it was written later, either in
the eighth century by a follower of Shankara, or as late as the
fourteenth century during a resurgence of Shankara's teaching.The
subtle philosophical truths are expounded in the form of a lucid
dialogue between the teenager sage Ashtavakra and his royal
disciple, the King-seer Janaka. To Ashtavakra, 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.Translated by Bart Marshall
