Thank you very much! I am in the process of beginning the next audiobook, which is likely to be either the Avadhuta Gita or Tao Te Ching, depending on how my research goes.

Video very clear with appropriate pauses to focus and assimilate what is intended to deliver . Great work.

Thank you; this presentation is extremely well done: the full-screen display of the verbiage, the incredibly beautiful photography, and the lovely music. I am thankful to be a Premium KZread subscriber so I could enjoy the presentation without ads.

Thank you very much for the feedback! 🙏I do love this book and wanted to make a clear and accessible version of it. I've got a lot of projects ongoing, but I would like to do a version of the Bhagavad Gita & Avadhuta Gita relatively soon.

❤❤❤

Thank you. Wonderful video. Translation is very good. Thank you 😊

Janaka had a horrible dream n thought n felt d pain, he woke up to his royal bed...so he asked a question? Was this true or was that true? No one could answer but Astha vakra....

Asthavakra was deformed in 8 places hence Astha (8) turns

Love your Version! Is it available as pdf or docx for printing? Thanks 🙏🤍☀

Not currently, but I'm working on a solution to that. I should have a web-published edition available fairly soon (next couple months) that will be available for free.

The word "person", does not correspond with non duality.

Janak was Sita’s father so hard is it to date this

It's a very difficult book to date. I've seen several theories, ranging from 600bce to 1300ce, and I'm not certain any of them are correct. I trend toward the opinion it was written by an anonymous master who used Ashtavakra as a nom de plume, but ultimately feel it doesn't matter too much. The content stands on its own, no matter who wrote it.

The relentless assault of add interruption takes away from this study

I cannot disagree. This is not presently a monetized channel for me, but apparently YT still runs ads on my content. I actually didn't know this and appreciate being made aware. Not much I can do about it, but I have been considering breaking the book up into shorter videos and combine them into a playlist. Not sure if this would lessen ads, but it should make relevant content easier to get to for someone studying the book.

Does the literally endless spiritual discussions, theologies, conflicts, disagreements, beliefs, philosophies, videos, books, ideas, comparisons, etc, etc, etc, and the endless other etc's. ever bring about common understanding/acceptance/clarity/understanding to "it's this way, not that way, or neither of those ways but perhaps one of the millions of other ways? Any and all attempts to explain/communicate in any conceivable way, shape, or format what absolutely cannot be known....let alone placed in words = endless futility. You cannot know what cannot be known. Be the best person you can be....and hope all will fall in place one way or another. My Best To All.

One of the underlying principles communicated by the Ashtavakra Gita is that everything is already the way it is supposed to be, that there is nothing to do, nothing to know, no "ultimate knowledge" to be acquired that tells one "it's this way, or that way." If anything, it suggests to the reader to stop wasting time trying to find "the correct answers" and simply enjoy each present moment, arguably the only "time" that can be objectively shown to exist at all.

To truly ‘Know’ anything it must be directly experienced. This rings even more true in regards to the ineffable, which is beyond the mind, beyond all intellect and rational thought. Anyone can experience the infinite infinitude of Ultimate Reality , the Absolute Truth of unfathomable Love beyond conception. This is the infinite mystery unto which even GOD stands in awe. 5-MeO-DMT is the most effective & efficient method to elicit such an experience. 5-10 consecutive days in absolute darkness is the next most effective method to experience the totality of all that truly is, forever expanding into eternity✨♾️😉 ♾️🙏🏼💖

We know that it cannot be known because there is no one home… to know…..yet the mind moves and needs food… and this satiates the hunger for a while…..

Well Said…. No there can never be total understanding much less agreement in Duality….yet each individual mind is at a different level of need and understanding. Most can’t comprehend such texts. Yes it seems like endless futility and one has to go through searching what cannot be found, comprehended by the mind. A word here, a phrase there brings a ray of light and even that ray sustains the heart…..
