The Ashtavakra Gita is considered to be the most distilled, purest form of the lessons of the Upanishads. It has been described variously as the final word, or the masterpiece, of the Advaita Vedanta school of Hindu philosophy.
The text is a dialogue, at once utterly simple and compellingly profound, between the sage Ashtavakra and the wise king Janaka on the nature of truth and how one can attain it. It is said that when all spiritual texts fall silent, Ashtavakra begins to speak.
In this book, two of India’s most exciting thinkers on Hinduism bring together their expertise and reflections on one of the most important texts of Hinduism, how it speaks to us today, and what vital lessons it holds for our lives.
