Ashtavakra Gita is the Song of Astravaka.

This amazing document is most likely the primary force behind the oft cited criticism of the west towards the spirituality of the east. This criticism declares that the east is self absorbed, narcissistic, solipsistic.

However, the truth of this teaching is not hardly that you alone matter, you alone are important, or that you alone exist. The teaching is far more subtle than such barbaric nonsense.

The truth is that all of existence is that divine principle, and that you can discover this awesome fact totally through your own efforts.

Far from being a radical and callous disregard for creation, the Ashtavakra Gita actually immortalizes creation, and places the aspirant right in the middle of it. The paradox of life in a world that requires it's own mirror to perceive itself is that there is no ultimate duality.

Ashtavakra Gita is the primary influence behind nine out of ten tenets of modern spiritual thought. It was here that Jung came to the end of his road, from his great dream of the Yogi, to his avoidance of Maharishi.

The power behind this amazing song continues to this day, a legacy of the great Aryan contribution to mankind.
