This book brings out the central truth of Advaita Vedanta in a clear and compendious form. The boldness and subtlety of analysis characteristic of hindu philosophy has been universally realized and admired.
Schopenhauer, one of the worlds greatest philosophers in the west said: “In the whole world there is no study so beneficial and so elevating as that of the Upanishads. It has been the solace of my life, it will be the solace of my death.”
The chief fact about hindu philosophy are their clear analysis of the the universe and their synthetic harmony and their revelation of the super sensuous facts of experience and value of life.
Avadhuta Gita means the Song from the master, from the ascetic (avadhuta) who is an advanced, enlightened and selfless recluse- the one who has attained to self-realisation, who has reached the highest spiritual plane, who has risen above all the associations of the world, who has rent asunder all the chains of birth and death all the bondage's of the Karma, who is face to face with the truth divine, Who is submerged in the ocean of bliss eternal and unbroken.
The word Avadhuta is the combination of four letters ‘A’ ‘VA’ ‘Dhu’ ‘Tha’. The letter ’ A’ signifies Avaduta is free from all hope, that is; free from idea of beginning, middle, end of all things. ‘Va’ Signifies he is beret of all desires, that his speech is devoid of evil and that he exists in all existing things. ‘Dhu’ denotes that his body is covered with dust that his mind has been purged of all evil thoughts, that he is free from all diseases and that he has risen above all mental devotions such as concentration and meditation. ‘Tha’ signifies that he is full of contemplation of reality, that he is free from all activities causing anxieties and that he is bereft of darkness and egoism.
