	Ashtavakra Gita - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ashtavakra Gita (Song of Ashtavakra), also known by the name Ashtavakra Samhita is an influential nondualist Vedic scripture traditionally said to have been spoken by the Sage Ashtavakra, though its authorship is not known with certainty.
		The Ashtavakra Gita does not date itself or brand itself to any region, culture, or peoples, although it does contain Hindu-specific references, especially in the final chapter entitled 'I am Shiva' where it is proclaimed in the final verse that the author is in truth one with God.
		Ashtavakra teaches that emotion, thought and even meditation can lead to further bondage and that religious practice itself is of no meaning to the enlightened.

	The Bhagavad Gita: Background
		The Bhagavad Gita (Sanskrit/Hindi) is a core sacred text of Hinduism and its philosophy, and a part of the epic poem Mahabharata, located in the Bhishma-Parva.
		The term yoga covers a wide range of meanings, but in the context of the Bhagavad Gita it describes a unified outlook, serenity of mind, skill in action, and the ability to stay attuned to the glory of the Self (Atma), which is of the same essence as the basis of being (Brahman).
		According to the Bhagavad Gita, the goal of life is to free the mind and intellect from their complexities and to focus them on the glory of the Self by dedicating one's actions to the divine.

	How to be happy? - Ashtavakra Gita and Advaita (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Ashtavakra Gita has been universally cited as a step in the right direction because it presents the traditional teachings of Advaita (Non-Dualism) Vedanta with a clarity and power very rarely matched.
		The Ashtavakra Gita, or the Ashtavakra Samhita (Ashtavakra's Collection) as it is sometimes called, is a very ancient Sanskrit text.
		The obscure Ashtavakra Gita "Ashtavakra's Song" -- as distinct from the famous Bhagavad Gita "Divine Song" of Lord Krishna's within the Mahabharata -- is a divine discourse between the Perfect Master Ashtavakra (Eight times Knotted or Gnarled Guru) and Raja Janak (King Janaka), who later in his life became a Perfect Master.

	Sixth Stage Foreshadowings
		The Ashtavakra Gita is the Great Confession of a Sage who has thoroughly engaged the philosophies and practices of the first six stages of life.
		Therefore, even though the Ashtavakra Gita is itself the Confession of the fullest possible Realization of the sixth stage of life, those who want so to Realize must enter into the ordeal of the stages of practice associated with the first six stages of life.
		The Ashtavakra Gita is one of the rare traditional texts representing (at least in basic outline) the fullest sixth stage (and the premonitorily "seventh stage") Confession of Realization that has, traditionally, been the ultimate (or final) fulfillment of religious and Spiritual culture.

	Enlightenment
		Even the Bhagavad Gita does not have the majesty found in the Ashtavakra Samhita -- it is simply unparalleled.

		Ashtavakra is not for synthesis -- he is a man of truth.

	Ashtavakra Gita - Nov 2005
		The whole Ashtavakra Gita is the conversation between the wise King Janaka and the twelve year old Enlightened Master, Ashtavakra.
		Though the Ashtavakra Gita predates the Bhagavad Gita by 5000 years, it is not as popular because it speaks directly about Enlightenment and how it is possible.
		Ashtavakra clearly explains to Janaka that in order to be liberated, he must be free of the lure of the sense objects and cultivate qualities like forgiveness, sincerity, kindness, contentment and truth.

		Ashtavakra explique clairement à Janaka que pour être libéré il doit se dégager de l’attrait des objets des sens et cultiver des qualités comme le pardon, la sincérité, la bonté, le contentement et la vérité.
		Rejetant les objets du désir, Ashtavakra définit le renoncement.

		The Ashtavakra Gita is a short spiritual text, composed in the Sanskrit language, which gives the highest teachings of the Yoga of Self-Knowledge.
		Though the Ashtavakra Gita is presented as a discourse between teacher and pupil, King Janaka does not play a big part as a pupil, nor does he remain a pupil very long!
		What’s interesting about Ashtavakra’s response is that he does not isolate this question about renunciation and give it special attention.

		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.
		The 'Bhagavad Gita' exists in countless editions, but I'm familiar with only three editions of the 'Ashtavakra.' The first is an excellent translation, lightly annotated, by Hari Prasad Shastri (London: Shanti Sadan, 1992 ISBN 0-85424-028-4).

		"Ah, Ashtavakra does have favorites after all, he accepted the king without any of the trials he had all of us face!" This grumbling became a quiet force, and Ashtavakra knew of it.
		Ashtavakra said: If you are seeking liberation, my dearest one, shun the objects of the senses like poison.
