Avadhuta Gita of Dattatreya

by Chetanananda

The Avadhuta Gita, or the song of a liberated soul, is a text of Vedanta representing extreme Advaita or Non-dualism. It breathes the atmosphere of the highest experience of Brahman. It goes into no philosophical argument to prove the oneness of reality, but is content to make the most startling statements, leaving the seeker of truth to imbibe them and be lifted from illusion into the blazing light of Knowledge. Published by Advaita Ashrama, a publication house of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, India.

An invaluable jewel for Advaitic reflection and meditation.

Swami Vivekananda spoke about this book: "Men like him who wrote this song are what keep religion alive. They have actually realised; they care for nothing, feel nothing done to the body, care not for heat and cold or danger or anything. They sit still and enjoy the bliss of Atman, while red-hot coals burn their body, and they feel them not" (Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda, 9 Vols., Volume 7, Page 73).

This book does not go into any philosophical argument. It merely makes illuminating and startling statements, leaving the seeker of truth to reflect on them.

Anyone reflecting and contemplating on the content of this book will be lifted from illusion into the blazing light of knowledge.

Short book on Hinduism more or less says what you expect it to, be one with the universe.
