Ashtavakra ke baare mein
Ashtavakra prachin Bharat ke ek rishi the jinka naam Upanishad aur Mahabharata ki parampara mein aata hai. Parampara ke anusaar unka sharir aath jagah se tedha tha, isi se unka naam 'Ashtavakra' pada, yaani aath jagah se vakra. Unke samay ke baare mein koi pakki jaankari nahin hai aur itihaaskar is par ek mat nahin hain.
Mahabharata mein unki ek prasiddh katha milti hai. Maana jaata hai ki bachpan mein hi woh Raja Janak ki sabha mein gaye, jahan unke pita ek shastrarth mein haar gaye the. Wahan logon ne unke sharir par hansi udaayi, lekin Ashtavakra ne kaha ki gyaani insaan sharir nahin, atma ko dekhta hai. Unhone shastrarth jeeta aur apne pita ko mukt karaya.
Unke naam se judi 'Ashtavakra Gita' Advaita Vedanta ka ek gehra granth maana jaata hai. Isme Raja Janak aur Ashtavakra ke beech samvaad hai, jisme sikhaya gaya hai ki insaan ka asli swaroop shuddh chetna hai, jo sukh-dukh aur bandhan se pare hai. Kai vidvaan maante hain ki yeh granth Mahabharata kaal ke baad likha gaya, isliye iske rachnakaal par bhi bahas hai.
Ashtavakra Gita ki shaili seedhi hai aur yeh kisi lambi saadhna ke bajaye seedhe jaagrukta par zor deti hai. HindiAudiobook.com par 'Ashtavakra Gita' Hindi mein sun sakte hain aur is gyaan ko aasaan bhasha mein samajh sakte hain.
