The Astavakra Gita is a profound treatise on Advaita Vedanta, ascribed to the great Saint Astavakra. It consists of a dialogue between Astavakra and his disciple Janaka.
Like the other Upanishadic texts and Srimadbhagavad Gita, it gives a candid, unhesitating, unblushing and unapologetic presentation of the cardinal principles of Advaita Vedanta. The text serves a twofold purpose: It describes the experience of the highest communion with the Supreme Reality, and simultaneously it gives useful guidelines to lead life in a holistic way. The treatise has been a source of inspiration to the yogis, mystics, saints, and sages. It is equally relevant for the householders who strive hard to lead a life of perpetual peace warding off worldly pangs and miseries. It teaches how yogic lifestyle and practices elevate human beings to the culmination of happiness and bliss.
In modern times, it is interesting to find that this ancient classic text played an important role in the shaping of the life of Swami Vivekananda who was the first to disseminate the eternal message of Yoga in the West.
