About the Book

Timeless Wisdom, Made Simple

The Ashtavakra Gita is presented here in a simplified format based on talks by Muni, compiled by Vidusha Prashar. The book is intended for spiritual seekers who wish to explore the teachings of the Ashtavakra Gita in a clear and accessible manner.

Rather than requiring you to read the book from beginning to end, the introduction explains that you can open it at any page and begin reading. The book brings together 70 teachings covering themes such as awareness, attachment, identity, freedom, action, desires, witnessing and realization.

Each teaching presents a focused idea and develops it through simple explanations and everyday examples, making the philosophical inquiry more approachable for modern readers.

Meet the Mind Behind the Book

Muni (Dr. Monica Nived Gupta)

Muni (Dr. Monica Nived Gupta) is a spiritual mentor, psychologist, coach, and author whose work sits at the intersection of psychology, leadership, and spirituality.

She actively teaches Kriya Yoga to sincere seekers and offers personal guidance to advanced practitioners on their inner journey. Also a dedicated student and teacher of Vedanta, she brings ancient wisdom into simple, practical language that speaks directly to the challenges of contemporary life.

Her work helps individuals expand their awareness, unlock their potential, and step into higher intelligence. To carry this vision forward, she founded Silent Wisdom Spiritual School in Pune, a space dedicated to spiritual and mind education that supports people in living with greater clarity, purpose, and inner freedom.

All spiritual offerings, including Kriya Yoga and Vedanta, are offered free of charge.

Silent Wisdom Spiritual School has centres in Mumbai, Panipat, Sirsa and Delhi.

Vidusha Prasha

A humble seeker walking the path of Kriya Yoga for the past four years, this journey has been a divine blessing that has quietly transformed her understanding of life. What once felt external is now experienced within, through surrender, faith, and awareness.

Every step on this path has been guided. Every realization has been gifted. Through her Guru’s kripa, she has learned to observe, to accept, and to trust the divine flow of life. In the outer world, she serves as a Naturopath and holistic health coach. Within, she remains a student, walking the path of self-realization and devotion and gratitude.

This offering is not hers. It is a small expression of what has been received through grace. With folded hands and a surrendered heart, she is simply a seeker.

What You’ll Discover Inside

A journey from questioning the self to discovering clarity, freedom, and deeper awareness.

  • Begin With the Question That Matters

    The journey begins with questions about Truth, liberation, suffering and the nature of the Self. The opening teaching shifts attention from everyday concerns toward a deeper inquiry into “Who am I?”

  • You Are More Than Your Roles

    Explore the distinction between the changing body, thoughts, emotions, roles and identities and the awareness that observes them. The teachings repeatedly return to the idea of remaining the witness rather than becoming identified with every experience.

  • Freedom Through Recognition

    The book explores freedom not simply as changing external circumstances, but as recognizing what remains untouched by changing experiences. Themes of attachment, desire, expectation and identification are examined throughout the teachings.

  • Turn Wisdom Into Personal Inquiry

    The final section includes Questions for Contemplation, giving readers space to personally reflect on the teachings and examine their own experiences, identities, desires and understanding.
