Duet of One The Ashtavakra Gita Dialogue by Ramesh S. Balsekar If you are reading these words, it means that you are one of the few who have somehow found their way to the 'Ashtavakra Gita.' As such, you should consider yourself extremely lucky, for it is one of the most profound and beautiful of all Indian texts and deserves to be far better known. The 'Ashtavakra,' in contrast, is a pure Advaita (a-dvaita) or non- dualistic text, a text which postulates the 'Not-two.' In other words, for Advaita there is no devotee confronting a personal God - there is only Self or the One. These ancient Indian texts, whether Vedantic such as the 'Ashtavakra Gita,' or Buddhist such as the Prajnaparamita 'Heart Sutra,' even when quite short, are by no means easy to understand. www.book-summary-review.com /Duet-of-One-The-Ashtavakra-Gita-Dialogue-0929448111.htm   (899 words)
