The short Advaita Vedanta treatise known as the Avakra Gt, or Avakra Sahit, is attributed to the renowned sage Avakra. In this book's straightforward, understandable English, Swami Nityaswarupanand of the Ramakrishna Mission presents the readers with Sage Avakra's profound understanding of Brahman. The clear discussion between the young sage Avakra and his regal follower, King Janaka, explains the deep philosophical truths. Avakra believes that the only thing that can be attained and experienced in the dynamic silence of one's own deepest meditation is self-knowledge through direct mystical intuition. The original book has been greatly enhanced by Swami Nityaswarupanand's English translations, word explanations, comments, and scholarly introduction.
