In this podcast, Partho and Kunal explore the core teachings of the Ashtavakra Gita, highlighting its radical simplicity and directness. Ashtavakra’s dialogue with King Janaka emphasizes self-realization over intellectual understanding, urging detachment from sensory and material identifications. The early verses alone offer the full essence of Vedanta: the self is not the body or mind, but pure consciousness. The conversation also touches upon the deeper spiritual implications of inquiry, surrender, and transcending worldly illusions.00:00 Trailer 00:06 Key aspects of Ashtavakra’s teachings02:22 Janaka’s Question to Ashtavakra on liberation04:01 What Is the Atma?05:20 Disidentification from the Material07:44 Ashtavakra's statement to Janaka 09:25 Radical approach to Ashtavakra Gita 10:49 Senses and Mind as Barriers14:12 Self-Inquiry as a practice 16:17 Meditative reading instead of Intellectual reading 18:37 Shlokas Reiterating the Core Message20:00 Academic approach & Janaka in Ramayana22:30 Kaliyug and cosmic method behind chaos
