| | Bhagavad Gita - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Bhagavad Gita (Sanskrit: भागवद् गीता - Bhāgavad Gītā) is revered as a sacred text of Hindu philosophy. | | | According to the Bhagavad Gita, the goal of life is to free the mind and intellect from their complexities, and to focus them on the glory of the Self, by dedicating one's actions to the divine. | | | The Bhagavad Gita is quickly becoming one of the most popular religious texts in translation, with numerous readings and adaptations of its 700 verses being published in many languages, especially with its exposure to the world outside India. |

| | Ashtavakra Gita - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Ashtavakra says that emotion, thought and even meditation are the causes for reincarnation and bondage. | | | In the eyes of the sage Ashtavakra who is the ostensible author of this text, one's true identity can be found by simply recognizing oneself as Pure Existence and that as individuals we are the Awareness of all things. | | | Of all the world's religious texts the Ashtavakra Gita is the least referenced because it does not allow anyone to manipulate it. |

| | Hindu deities - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Thus, with all Hindus, there is a strong belief in all paths being true religions that lead to one God or source, whatever one chooses to call the ultimate truth. | | | Endowed with such a faith, he endeavors to worship a particular demigod and obtains his desires. | | | Even Vaisnavites, like other Hindus, have tolerance for other beliefs because Lord Krishna, avatar of Vishnu, said so in the Gita. |

| | Ashtavakra Gita - Nov 2005 |
| | It is said that while still in his mother’s womb, Ashtavakra was cursed by his father for daring to correct him on the faulty recitation of scriptures. | | | The whole Ashtavakra Gita is the conversation between the wise King Janaka and the twelve year old Enlightened Master, Ashtavakra. | | | Take the Ashtavakra Gita in your hand and you will know that you are holding the purest, most uncontaminated, unpolluted and ultimate word on Enlightenment. |

| | Sixth Stage Foreshadowings |
| | The Lankavatara Sutra is a culminating text of the Mahayana tradition of Buddhism. | | | The Ashtavakra Gita is one of the rare traditional texts representing (at least in basic outline) the fullest sixth stage (and the premonitorily "seventh stage") Confession of Realization that has, traditionally, been the ultimate (or final) fulfillment of religious and Spiritual culture. | | | The other such texts I have indicated include the Avadhoot Gita, which is from the Dattatreya tradition, the Tripura Rahasya, from the Devi tradition, and the Lankavatara Sutra, from the Mahayana tradition of Buddhism. |

| | The whole of the Ribhu Gita is said to represent the teaching given to the Sage Ribhu by Godi himself in the form of Lord Shiva, the formless aspect of the Divine activity, in whom all beings and things are always already absorbed. | | | The Ribhu Gita, literally “Ribhu’s Song”, is Part Six of the Shiva Rahasya, a legendary mystical text of India. | | | In the language of the books, I could describe my mental or spiritual condition after awakening, as suddha manas or vijnana, i.e., the Intuition of the Illumined". |

| | Ramesh S. Balsekar: Duet of One: The Ashtavakra Gita Dialogue - Bøger |
| | The 'Ashtavakra,' in contrast, is a pure Advaita (a-dvaita) or non- dualistic text, a text which postulates the 'Not-two.' In other words, for Advaita there is no devotee confronting a personal God - there is only Self or the One. | | | These ancient Indian texts, whether Vedantic such as the 'Ashtavakra Gita,' or Buddhist such as the Prajnaparamita 'Heart Sutra,' even when quite short, are by no means easy to understand. | | | More familiar to Western readers, of course, is the 'Bhagavad Gita,' no doubt because it resonates with those who are drawn to the worship of a personal God. |
