ASHTAVAKRA GITA

Vedantic Study Retreat @ Sambodh Center 6363 N. 24th St. Kalamazoo, MI 49004

June 9-10, 2018 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

The Ashtavakra Gita, an original composition with 300

verses in 20 chapters of varying lengths, is attributed to

an unknown author.

It records a passionate and poetic dialogue between two

great masters, one a wise old king and powerful ruler,

Janaka, and the other a youthful scholar saint, Ashtavakra,

a poor hunchback. Their discussions focus upon four

fundamental questions of life:

“What is enlightened freedom?” “What is detached engagement?” “What is true knowledge?” And, “How to gain all three in this lifetime?”

The Ashtavakra Gita is prescribed for serious seekers of Truth.
