The
ancient scripture of
Ashtavakra Samhita
at Home2b.nl
The Ashtavakra Samhita is one of
the very important scriptures ever written.
Advaita Vedanta
is an awareness of the mind,
that what we
think we see,
is not the
reality is it is.
The reality is
very different and
the Advaita
philosophy or way of thinking,
is pointing to
the Unity of all consciousness.
The eternal
universe gives birth (or emanates)
all universes
and all things
(seeming to
exist)
and diverts our senses into the wrong
activities.
Robert will add
commentary for better understanding.
The goal of
this webpage in Home2b.nl is to have

3. the english

things

personal place in this all.
