Talk 4 - What I am not, and what I am! The world of plurality is a superimposition on the infinite blissful Self, like the snake on the rope.

Ashtavakra Gita is a discourse by Swami Anubhavananda on the dialogue that had taken place between King Janak and Ashtavakra, a great sage of his times. Swamiji has explained verses of Ashatavakra in a manner which is not only simple to understand but also applicable in our day to day lives. Ashtavakra Gita is many times referred as the highest knowledge on the planet. It is not meant for those who have never done any spiritual practice or meditated in life. The other great knowledge - The Bhagwad Gita was given by Lord Krishna to Arjuna on the battlefield but Ashtavakra Gita was given by Sage Ashtavakra to King Janaka in peace, in the serene environment of a royal palace.
