The universally well known is the Bhagwad Gita a dialogue between Lord Krishna and Arjuna.</p><p>Ashta Vakara means eight different crooked (curved) shapes. The young sage had eight &nbsp;eight different crooked (curved) shapes in his body (specially abled) and hence was called Ashta Vakra Sage.&nbsp;King Janaka who ruled Mithila was a very learned person. He ruled Mithila by following Sanatan Dharma.&nbsp;</p><p>Ashtavakra Gita is a dialogue between the king and his Guru Sage Ashtavakra. The dialogue covered advanced advaita vedanta principles and practices.&nbsp;&nbsp;Their conversation is our education. The dialogue consists of twenty chapters and 298 Sanskrit slokas (verses).
