The Ashtavakra Gita

The Ashtavakra Gita is a philosophical text that presents a dialogue between King Janaka and Rishi Ashtavakra on the principles of Vedanta, a school of Hindu philosophy. The book was first published in 1907 and is authored by Nath and Baij. The text explores various themes such as self-realization, the nature of the self, and the path to liberation. Ashtavakra, a sage who is said to have been born with eight physical deformities, is the main speaker in the text and presents a radical perspective on the nature of reality and the self. The book is considered a classic of Hindu philosophy and is widely studied by scholars and practitioners of Vedanta.
