Astavakragita (The Song of The Self Supreme) (The Classical Text of Atmadvaita by Astavakra with an Introductory Essay, Sanskrit Text, English Transliteration and Translation, Annotation and Glossarial Index)
Author:
Editor/Commentator: Radhakamal Mukerjee
Publisher: Motilal Banarsidass
ISBN:
Format: Paperback
Pages: 199
List Price: £10.00
Synopsis: Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The Astavakra Gita is a unique text among the world's contemplative classics dealing systematically with the mystical experiences of the Self on its way to transcendence, peace and bliss. There are few ancient treatises in East or West which evince such profound and lively concern with the Supreme Self as the ultimate reality, embodied in mystical insight and experience, and written with such spiritual imagination and poetic fervour. Astavakra Gita (The Song of the Self Supreme) contains the Sanskrit text of Astavakra Gita (both in Nagari and Roman script), its English translation, Exegesis and Glossarial Index. It presents in twenty chapters the substance of Astavakra's teaching in respect of the Cosmic Self in the form of his dialogue with Janaka, the magnificent king of Videha. The teaching is based on the Upanisadic creed of Absolute monism (Advaitavada) that identifies the Self with the non-dual Ultimate Reality. But the contribution of Astavakra is also immense, for he has introduced the element of emotional experience or the mystical feeling as the means for realizing the non-dual nature of the Self. Written in a lucid style and dealing systematically with the subject matter, the book, it is hoped, will hold a unique position among the contemplative classics of the world.

Synopsis: Editorial Reviews

Review
The Avadhuta Gita is an independent treatise on Advaita and explains that doctrine in the most uncompromising terms . . . It is very difficult to translate some of the passages, and our gratitude goes to Swami Chetanananda for having given us a fine and lucid translation with proper notes. This is a book not only for spiritual aspirants but for everyone who desires to know the essence of Vedantic doctrines. --Dr. V. Gauri Shanker, Samvit Magazine

Product Description
One of the purest statements of nondualistic (Advaita) Vedanta made 3,000 years ago by Dattatreya Avadhuta, who sang it spontaneously after purifying himself in meditation and becoming absorbed in the uninterrupted bliss of Brahman.

The Uddhava Gita: The Final Teaching of Krishna

Publisher: Ulysses Press, Seastone
ISBN: 978-1-56975-320-0
Format: Paperback
Pages: 256
List Price: £12.00
Synopsis: Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Ever since Emerson called the Bhagavad Gita "the first of books" and recommended it to his pal Henry David Thoreau, that sacred text has been the foundation of an evolving Western understanding of Indian religion. But its later "companion volume," the Uddhava Gita, has been all but unknown to Western readers. Here, Swami Saraswati (Principles of Breathwork) offers the first English translation of the classic, which tells further tales of Krishna and is an important text for Krishna devotion. Like its more famous predecessor, this Gita teaches that the path of Bhakti, or devotion, is an important means to self-liberation and enlightenment. It is set on the eve of the avatar Krishna's departure from the earth, when he imparts wisdom to an elderly man named Uddhava. In a too-brief but still helpful introduction, Thomas Cleary writes that translator Saraswati has opted for a "spiritual interpretation" over a "technical analysis" of the text, her primary goal being to educate spiritual seekers, not to appease scholars. She offers useful synopses and teachings before each of the text's 24 dialogues, explaining how Krishna uses stories, poetry and counsel to promote a path of renunciation and non-attachment. "The true source of misery is the acquisition of anything you hold dear," explains one avadhuta (purified spiritual person). "One who knows this and desires nothing will enjoy lasting happiness." Anyone who has enjoyed the Bhagavad Gita will cherish this rich, contemplative spiritual classic.

Product Description
Widely read, The Bhagavad Gita is a classic of world spirituality while The essential companion to The Bhagavad Gita, The Uddhava Gita has remained overlooked. This new accessible and only English translation in print of The Uddhava Gita offers a previously unexplored path to understanding Hinduism and Krishna’s wisdom. Written centuries apart, the ideas of the two dialogues are similar although their approach and contexts differ. The Bhagavad Gita is filled with the urgency of battle while The Uddhava Gita takes place on the eve of Krishna’s departure from the world. The Uddhava Gita offers the reader philosophy, sublime poetry, practical guidance, and, ultimately, hope for a more complete consciousness in which the life of the body better reflects the life of the spirit.

Product Description
This is a new translation and commentary by Clarissa on Drg Drsya Viveka, a short, but powerful scripture, attributed to Adi Shankaracharya, who is said to have lived in the ninth century.The focus of this scripture is Awareness itself. In only 31 verses, the attention is taken from normal every day experiences, all the way to the very Source of attention, to Awareness, in which the experiences are happening.As the subject matter is extremely abstract, this book will be of interest to people who have been practising Yoga or related disciplines, and in whom some opening and preparation has already happened.
