Consolidating the highest flights of Vedic thoughts this work discusses the unity of the individual Self and the Supreme-Self through lucid, poetical language. It is presented as a dialogue between sage Ashtavakra and Janak, the king of Mithila.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book discusses the nature of Self and Reality. According to Ashtavakra, Brahama (the Supreme-Self) is the only self-existent Reality; and the Self of all, at the very essence, is nothing but Brahama. Ashtavakra asserts that there exists a self-existent ever-enduring entity which persists as the eternal abiding substratum of the consciousness of egoism: the 'I' sense; and that is the Atma, our Self.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs opposed to Shankaracharya, Ashtavakra offers a more radical view on Vedanta. Ashtavakra insists on the absolute oneness of existence and complete unreality of external world. He does not seem to give much credence to morality and duties. He dismisses names and forms as unreal and signs of Ignorance. An ignorant person's vision is shrouded by names and forms, but the wise one sees only the Self.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcording to Ashtavakra we are already perfect and pure, unfettered and actionless, self-illuminated and taintless. We are not the mind -- and the cause of our bondage is that we are still resorting to making that mind still.Besides the original Sanskrit text, transliteration and translation of the verses is provided. There is ample space on every page for you to journal your daily thoughts, or to perform the Likhita-Japa of Rama-Nama. Once embellished with your Rama-Namas, this Journal-Book will become a priceless treasure which you can present to your loved ones -- an unparalleled gift of love, labor, caring, wishing, and above all: Devotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10864824\"\u003eVidya Wati\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rama-Nama Journals\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 7.50w x 0.78d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781945739422\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1945739428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-REL\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-REL032020\"\u003eHinduism | Ritual \u0026amp; Practices\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-REL\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-REL032040\"\u003eHinduism | Theology\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rama-Nama Journals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44591026667757,"sku":"9781945739422","price":21.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_b6d8488f-8c82-4ca6-bcf9-fe1b23f63914.jpg?v=1702269453","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/ashtavakra-gita-the-fiery-octave-my-self-the-atma-journal-a-daily-journey-of-self-discovery-9781945739422","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
