Ashtavakra Gita

One of the most enlightening discourses on the nature of reality.

What is Ashtavakra Gita?

The Ashtavakra Gita illuminates an ancient conversation between the sage Ashtavakra and Janaka, a king with both worldly responsibilities and deep spiritual questioning about the nature of reality. “What is real?” Janaka asks. So begins one of the most unique conversations to ever take place on this planet, as Ashtavakra takes Janaka by the hand and leads him step by step into deeper levels of understanding until enlightenment dawns.

“Do not hurt anyone with your speech, for the Divine dwells in every heart.”
