Govind or Ashtavakra

Ashtavakra Samhita, illuminates an ancient conversation between the sage Ashtavakra and Janaka, as Ashtavakra takes Janaka by the hand and leads him step by step into deeper levels of understanding until enlightenment dawns. It is one of a kind, treatise on the Advaita (non-dualistic) rationality which guarantees to transport the seeker from bondage to freedom (or Mukti).

Sadhushvapi cha papeshu samabudhhirvishishyate ||

(He excels who views well-wishers, friends, adversaries, relatives, the unconcerned, the impartial, the hostile, the saints & the sinners alike)

Prathame narjita vidya dwitiye narjitam dhanam |
Tritiye narjitam punyam chaturthe kim karishyasi ||

(What can you do in the fourth part of your life, when you have not gained knowledge in the first, wealth in the second, and merit in the third?)

While Bhagavad Gita drives you to an objective of freedom, upskilling you from Kindergarten to doctorate level, Ashtavakra Gita launches you directly to a definitive destination without the requirement for any strides.

While Bhagavad Gita has the flexibility of different interpretations, representations and thus its implications have been curved and misshaped by numerous observers, both antiquated and progressive, Ashatavakra Gita is so straightforward, unequivocal and undubitable, that it is difficult to misconstrue its content. Not many have dared to interpret it or include any alter-analyses about it. It must be comprehended through the heart, by an instinctive spiritual affair.
