The Ashtavakra Gita or the Song of Ashtavakra is a classical Advaita Vedanta scripture which documents a dialog between the sage Ashtavakra and Janaka, king of Mithila on nature of soul, reality and bondage. Recorded in 1991 at the Art of Living International Centre in Bangalore, the Ashtavakra Gita is an extraordinary series of enlightening discourses given by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. The Ashtavakra Gita examines the mind, ego, conflict and the self with the unparalleled insight and depth that only a Master can offer. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar skillfully weaves together ancient knowledge, classic stories and practical wisdom into captivating talks, making the Ashtavakra Gita an invaluable tool and companion for the earnest seeker of truth. Authors solutions refine human values to such purity that they become impregnable shields against manipulative and destructive influences. His message is simple - Service is the expression of joy and love. Ask yourself how can I be useful to those around me and to the whole world?. This is one of those books that should be read in a group and should be discussed so that the readers are able to delve into the deeper aspects. This one cannot be read like a story book / novel.
