Abstract

Among all the texts on self-knowledge, the Astavakra Gita claims a high place. It is no less important in the world human history that the young deformed boy, by his great wisdom and slowness, unnerved the self-knowledgeable Rajarshi like Raja Janak, considering Astavakra as his guru, learned self-knowledge from him. A reference is found in the Mahabharata regarding Ashtavakra Rashi[3]. The scriptural discussion between Maharishi Astavakra and Janaka is known as Astavakra Gita. The Astavakra Gita is also referred to as the Astavakra Samhita, which is based on Advaita Vedanta philosophy.
