### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inspirational
*by H***E on 2 July 2025*

A beautiful translation of one of the key texts of the Advaita Vedanta tradition, The Ashtavakra Gita. I bought it as a source of readings for a meditation zoom group I am a member of (The School of Meditation, London, in case you are interested). Thomas Bryson's introduction is heartfelt and informative, and the translation of the text is clear and inspirational, giving direction to our meditation practice.
