- PLEASE NOTE - The first 4:40 minutes of audio is bad due to a little hiccup in recording.
Ashtavakra Gita or the Song of Ashtavakra is a dialogue between sage Ashtavakra and King Janaka on the nature of soul, reality and bondage.It offers an extremely radical version of non-dualistic philosophy. The Gita insists on complete unreality of external world and absolute oneness of existence. It does not mention any morality or duties and therefore, is seen by commentators as 'godless'. It also dismisses names and forms as unreal and a sign of ignorance.

This and the Avadhuta Gita are just so stunning. I Am That by Nisargadatta is also a beautiful book. Thank you so much for making this recording.
DO listen to ribhu geeta as well.

Thank you so much for the recordings of these sacred texts. It’s very powerful !! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Astavakragita shows the high mental maturity of our seers who found themselves as the all pervading blissful self undoubtedly.
This is the only book that lead you to truth, without confusing...
Totally agree :)
Read "The Other Shore" by Thich Nhat Hanh. Translation of Prajnaparamita Hydra Sutra. Very nice finger that points to the truth. Cleans up some terms that brought about confusion during time but keeps the message the same. Peace to you
Yes
Jay Kotek YES
Who his there to be lead and where? Ramana satguru Ramana satguru rayane !
I've listened to this 1,000s of times. There is nothing to get excited about. There is nothing.
R u kidding? THIS "NOTHINGNESS" IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL and ONLY thing that is REAL!!!!!! Pure love, Pure blessing, pure consiousness, awareness and bliss!!!!!! I am so in love!!! with this NOTHINGNESS!!!!! SMILE!
@@kippapao yes I agree.
Thank you soo much for creating and sharing this recording, absolutely awesome! I wish you all the best on the path. Blessings to you, I hope you have a great 2020. Peace.
Beautiful comment. May your journey be glorious. Hari Aum
I have listened to this 100s of times. Also the Adhuta Gita and the Ribhu Gita. Really helps forgiving people and myself. But
where it says "play the game of Life" it's hard to take anything seriously! No wonder people leave everything behind. Too much trouble.
Hence the greatest of masters have surrendered. For surrendering is one with reality. Hari Aum
Shri Avadhuta Gita and Shri Astavakra Gita are probably the most humbling answers to the most important and pivotal query asked in the whole of the Great Bhagavad Gita;
Oh my Dear Lord, how am I to understand who I am?
Please be merciful and tell me for my existence rests only on this knowledge Jnana and surrendered devotional practice Bhakti.
Bhagavad Gita Chapter 8
Ofcourse it is revealed better in Chapter 13 and 15 however Avadhuta Gita and Astavakra Gita explain this clear cut like the sword.
---
Religious merit, sensory pleasures, worldly prosperity, discrimination between this and that - these have no significance to the yogi free of duality. Thus Advaita Vedanta is.
Hari Aum 🙏🙏🙏🕉🙏🙏🙏
What suffers? There is none to suffer. There is only this.
When the sun sets ... he rests where he is
Huh? Who rests
Wow that is sooooo admirable
When the sun sets, he is up all night because he got spun with the bubble... He'll probably rest when the sun comes up, that's my guess

Thank you! This reading is wonderful.
What more can be said? What more can be thought? What more can be?

Your voice is reminiscent to Krishnamurti. Thank you for the audio.

Hi Rajanikant, you did extremely something that common people wont even think about it. I,m bowing to your efforts. The bless is there for you man.
Krishnan - Thanks for your kind words of appreciation. I am indeed glad to know you liked this. Om Shanti!!
Rajanikant Chandwadkar Its not about who like or not Rajani, it will only reach the people who are ready to explore in this blessed path. Thank you again.
Krishnan - So very true indeed!!
Rajanikant Chandwadkar . Due to poor eyesight I cannot easily read a paper book. I’m so glad you have given this gift to all, thankful for your poetic voice and the excellent translation! No need for perfection of audio quality, it is perfectly understandable (as soon as I could realize the Indian pronunciation of “awareness”-haha, oh well, I am just an American :-))
Thank you for making this, it is very much appreciated ❤️
Yes, thank you for sharing...i listen to this every day or two. Is the best! I got into our especially because I am physically disabled, and it resonates with me to refocus my consciousness back toward consciousness instead of bodily material ignorance. It's a great conversation! I am so glad that Janaka got it from Astavakra and it is translated for us English and read by a fantastic voice. Thanks. Om Shanti
Thank you so much for sharing this, truly wonderful, clear and direct pointing to Truth
Thank you for reading these precious words aloud and posting them.
He said “meditate on this” and then said “the practice of meditation keeps one in bondage” in the first 4 minutes of this teaching and that’s why I won’t be fooled into listening any further.
Beautiful 🙏🏽Thank you
Thanks for sharing. Truly inspiring.
Am a devout Hindu and a disciple of a saturated body. These commentries are the ultimate essance of life. The darkest community of the world 'Muslims' ,if only could have been brought these necter unto them.
In the light are no religions,no gods,no scriptures ,no me no you no other .
Then how can any understanding arise .
There is only pure awareness,pure light ,pure being .
Every thing comes from the light and goes back to the light.
I am short of words to express my gratitude to Rajanikant. only bliss....
Let the mind do what it will. There is no I to be troubled by mind.
I thank you so very much for doing this.
Thank you so much for posting this it gave me the direction I so needed just to be . Big Love
Darrell Hatherly Much glad to know this helped you in some way at least. Thanks for leaving a comment. Om Shanti!!
You are not the body, mind, sense organs, intellect, egoistic 'self' or anything .
You exist only as Consciousness in its own solitude eternal presence.
Ahh ~ dejavu, echoes from self ~ thanks for this reminder. Showers of blessings on you for sharing this ~ Om Shanti...🙏

@@rasucha as to you Rajanikantji, may your journey and life be glorious and beautiful. Thank you uploading this Avadutha Gita and all videos. Pranam.
Hari Aum
This body exists, But it is not mine. This "I" that i thought was the only thing there is; is only alive through thought and what thought is dependent upon. The subtle "I" is not my name, is not my thought, is not my projections, positive or negative. Neither one are true, they both are interdependent on each-other. We look for the "truth" of life, but there truly is no truth. Each truth is true in a way, and not true, as it is discriminated by the mind. I am NOT that what is named or thought.
this is incredible!! full of gems... one of Ramana's favourite scriptures
namaste~
Excellent .
I Am not the Doer---Goodbye to pride and blame.
This is awesome!
Thank you very much, only this much I can say, Thank you.
Thank you so much sir 🙏
Thank you!
Deep gratitude 🙏 OM Shanti Shanti Shanti
How can anything known by books and people, who are termed as illusory by God himself have any truth.
The Avadhuta Gita sort of explains that. Basically it isn't real, you aren't real, you're telling yourself you aren't real by considering yourself as real listening or reading what isn't real but is and isn't. Confusing af, but really it boils down to consciousness and unconsciousness trying to influence eachother like how the environment affects an organism which affects the environment in a lesser way. "You are pure, homogeneous reality," otherwise called "Brahman" or to a modern person, nature. These books aren't about learning or teaching. They're about what it is to be without any perception of self/ego, and therefore simply a part of the all dictated by forces out of your egoic control. Timeless in the larger perspective, because time is the ability to percieve change, but the whole just includes all time and space. I like to think of it like animation of reality. The animation has to be already done before any decision at all by a character in order to move forward logically.
Edit- Basically Hinduism and Buddhism both boil down to Taoism as both of their higher truths, but in another view, it could also all be perception based, which would be why you could hear these higher truths at all, because your higher self already knows it but doesn't necessarily want to. Your higher self is still, however, Brahman, so both perspectives are likely correct.
Thank you for your time ,kindness and good information.
Thank you. May god bless you!
good interpretations ,thank you
I am the Absolute. I am the Lord of the Universe and I am Mason

Ní fhéadfadh teicníc níos simplí a bheith ann ná teicníc Ashtavakra
Swami Shantananda Puri Maharaj
Gabhann gaois Ashtavakra níos doimhne ná aon ghaois eile mar go ngearrann claíomh a chuid gaoise go díreach go dtí fréamh an chomhfheasa.
Manuel Schoch
Tugann Ashtavakra foirmle dochreidte simplí dúinn conas a bheith sona sa saol seo.

Tá teagasc ann a labhraíonn leis an gcroí; tá teagasc ann a labhraíonn leis an aigne; agus tá teagasc ann a ghabhann tharstu araon, a labhraíonn leis an dia atá ionainn
