Ashtavakra Gita - Part 1 - Ramana Maharshi - Advaita
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- Ashtavakra Gita is one of the advaitic masterpieces. One of Sri Ramana Maharshi's most beloved texts. Without mincing matters it comes out with the advaitic truth, the whole truth and nothing but advaita which is the Truth. This book embodies Ashtavakra’s teaching to King Janaka which vouched him Self-Knowledge between the time he placed one foot upon the stirrup of his horse and lifted himself to place the other foot on the other stirrup.
Radhakamal Mukerjee, an Indian social scientist, dated the book to the period immediately after the Hindu scripture Bhagavad Gita (c. 500-400 BC).

Hi, and Thank you so much for your work. 🙏Can you share the name of the text/author from which you're reading? Or, are they all the same.

Ashtavakra Gita is the crown jewel of the Indian spiritual books.
Once we get in contact with the Ashtavakra Gita we don’t need any other book to lead us to liberation, I can hear this audio 1000 times and never get tired of it!
Liberation is already present as here and Now. Time space and existence are an illusion. We have always been liberated. Our mind is the illusion. As Ramana Maharsi says Heart must be purified through Bhakti (Love) for the illusion to go away and truth will appear as it is
I agree, part 1 blew my mind. A feast for kings, how will I ever move to part 2??
❤️
There is another really good Ashtavakra Gita audio here on RUclips. However, for me, the voice makes a HUGE difference, and nothing compares to this one here.
Still listening to Ashtavakra Gita after almost three years….🙏🏼 soo beautiful
Dear Samaneri Jayasara,
If it were not for the graces showered upon you to be the one to bring the teachings in this way , things would have less beautiful, harmonious and peaceful in very early mornings and in the night too. This time is not so easy for our cosmos but having the words of great beings spoken through your voice has helped me and many others stay the course…..🌸🌻🙏🏼
Thank you, so grateful to you for tirelessly & unselfishly recording all these precious teachings and making them so accessible to all, 🙏🙏
Yes. Thanks
🙏The more I hear, the less I become, the less I become, I merges into the Pure Consciousness that I AM. 🙏🙏🙏 Thank you so much for your selfless service and Love for humanity. 💕🌹🙏🙏🙏
Now read Bhagavad Gita from chapter 8 as to make sense of it all and know the meaning and method of how to act in this life.
You don't become. You are the absolute. You have always been that. You are just waking up to your Self....peace
@@buzzwordy9951 exactly and inline with previous comment when Krishna says "The indestructible, transcendental living entity is called Brahman, and his eternal nature is called adhyātma, the self." (Bhagavad Gita chapter 8 sloka 3). Thus the mahavakya: Aham Brahmasmi.a clear example of Krishna expressing the highest truth of Vedanta (whether than be advaita, vishisht, etc), thus Krishna is indeed the greatest Vedanta guru in every possible spectrum, fathomable, unfathomable and transcendental of all, simultaneously 😊🕉😊
I clearly see why this is a masterpiece and so beloved by the great master Ramana Mararshi. One of the greatest manuscripts ever written! Thanks you soooo much for posting this for all to hear and be transformed!
@Nondual Awareness yes 😱😱😱 it is better than astavakra geeta 🥺🥺
Dear John,
The Avadhuta Gita and Astavakra Gita are probably the most humbling answers to the most important and pivotal query asked in the whole of the Great Bhagavad Gita;
Oh my Dear Lord, how am I to understand who I am?
Please be merciful and tell me for my existence rests only on this knowledge and surrendered devotional practice.
Bhagavad Gita Chapter 8
Ofcourse it is revealed better in Chapter 13 and 15 however Avadhuta Gita and Astavakra Gita explain this clear cut like the sword.
We are this to keep the Gita beside both Avadhuta and Astavakra else we may give up this body and no d falsely without performing duties Karmayog within Bhakti.
Contemplate this. I wish you the best best upon your spiritual journey. Hari Aum
Best channel on spirituality thank you for this work!
Wow. Ashtavakra gita. You did it. This is so amazing thank you
I know, right?!
I can’t thank you enough ma’am. You have the Grace of Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi for doing this work!!🙏🙏🙏
The PLAY of this world, happens at the background of pure Conscious Awareness.
When the play is on ... I play my role as a character in this world, with my own mask (personality) to the best I can, by learning the lessons of Forgiveness and Love.
When the play is over ... all that is left is still Pure Conscious Awareness.
Hopefully I can wake up to this Truth in this life ... if not ... then in the next.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you. So well done. The beautiful voice. Spoken slowly. The music. The way a Masterpiece should be done. Om shanti shanti Om...
Namaste, my person was in a mental hospital about 10 yrs back due to drug binging, my beautiful dad had come to visit n was cracking jokes, at that time, something inside told me, he isn't real, and I knew it was true, my beautiful dad has left his body now, even tho it shocked me to know my dad wasn't real, ther was no love n respect lost at all for him, I love n miss him so so much, God bless all lovely consciousness, pure awareness I am, all is SHIVA 😊😅😮😢🎉😂❤❤❤❤❤ n whatever the weather...I am up for it 😊
namaste brother
Cannot thank you enough for the treasure you have made available to us. 🙏🏻
Gratitude 🙏 💕
peace arrives, - no, is felt and manifests, by repeated listening.
"As the mind tends to go out turn it inwards then and there. It goes out owing to the habit of looking for happiness outside oneself; but the knowledge that the external objects are not the cause of happiness will keep it in check."
Endless gratitude 🙏 OM Shanti Shanti Shanti
The Ashtavakra Gita is one gem. ❤ thank you for bringing it to more people in the world ❤ may you help a lot of people❤
Thank you. Much love to you.
Emptiness, Knowledge.
It's great to find a fantastic reading of ashtavakra gita on youtube! This is a rare find. or it was at least. A couple years ago I had lots of trouble finding a reading of this on youtube and the one I found was very poor sound quality. You make it a joy to listen to.
FYI, (to any listeners who don't know already) if you enjoy this gita you may want to look up Ribhu Gita and Avadhut Gita. Of course Bhagavad Gita as well. 😇
Namaste thankyou thankyou thankyou infinite love light blessings to all
Is it just an imagination that I am here and I do not know why I am here, is it just imagination that I will merge into what I do not know, and see it in this life when I die. There is joy in knowing that I do not know and will never know, that is everlasting.
Ample Thanks 🙏🙏
This is the master peace! Hearing this through your voice puts one to THAT state effortlessly! Thank you very much.. it is so close and simple..
This is so beautiful ..and beautifully done.!!
I love you Samaneri💜

Thank you for another precious jewel . Love
Hi Oli, what chapters of the Ribhu Gita do you recommend for recording as you requested? There's quite a lot of them as you know....
@@SamaneriJayasara Love, thank you so much for asking. The one that I love are ones that strongly confirm "my identity" in direct way, so: 4, 6, 7, 11, 14, 16, 19, 21, 24, 25, 32, 40 41, 44 . Any of them is amazing for constant meditation. Thank you so much. Love
@@moksha2280 Thanks - that's very helpful for making a choice.
@@SamaneriJayasara You are most welcome
There is the ramanashramam publication called heart of the ribhu gita. I believe its ramanas favorite selections
So grateful for your beautiful gift 🙏🏼🌸🌾thank you dearest Samaneri Jayasara

The 4 parts of the Astavakra Gita constitute an amazing contribution to humanity. Radhakamal Mukherjee’s translation is also available in Amazon India for less than £2. The greatest things in life are (almost) free 😊
I’m meditating on it now! It’s great for meditation!
Wonderful! 😊 Thank you.

Thank you very much for this and your other readings. I'm curious which translation of the Ashtavavakra Gita you read
The translation is by John Richards.
So grateful to you for offering this master piece, Samaneri! There's this question (as I'm somewhat new to spirituality): what are "objects of the senses" and why are they to be avoided like poison? What do objects of the senses do to a person? Anyone else could also attempt to explain this question. Much appreciation in advance!
Here they are referring to the objects of the five senses of seeing, hearing, tasting, touching, smelling. Eye, ear, tongue, body, nose. The teaching is urging us to not be fooled by the objects nor to be attached and desirous of them as most people in this world are. They keep up bound and trapped and deluded by samsara as we believe ourselves to be the body and dependent on them for our happiness. And in the ultimate truth, that is not what we are so we need to start to investigate and to lose the fascination and clinging to these objects of the senses. I would encourage you not to develop aversion or hatred for them but to merely start to see them for what they are. Magical illusions! Hope that helps. Most of the teachings on this channel will fill in the gaps a lot more for you as you continue to listen. With all good wishes
@@SamaneriJayasara Thanks so much for clarifying it for me, Samaneri! I've watched a video of Ramana Maharshi on "Be As You Are - Life in the World". Could you also please show me other comparable videos from other traditions (such as Dzogchen especially from Longchenpa and Padmasambhava) that teach on how to deal with life in the world / during interactions in the world especially during challenging situations?
Much appreciation again!
I'm sure there may be some videos specifically about the subject of your request, I will also just quickly suggest that all of these videos are for just that purpose.
I would propose that any one of these videos, if truly heard and put into action, will give the benefit of improving your ability to feel more stable in yourself regardless of your outward situation.
We have such a wealth of spiritual material given to us. It's sometimes too easy to seek that next video that will touch us deeply. I am definitely guilty of this sometimes.
It's just another form of egoic seeking for the next pleasure.
I'm so happy that such a treasury of spiritual insight is available online. But imagine if just one of these videos were available. To the sincere listener, that would be enough.
This is just a suggestion.
I hope you receive an answer for your question. I just felt it might be good to add this idea for consideration. 😇
❤️🌸🙏🏻
Cheers ears 😊😅😮😢🎉😂❤❤❤❤❤❤all is SHIVA
Yes
🕉🕉🕉🙏
💜💎💜

Is the photograph in this video somewhere available (digital)? It's gorgeous
