Dattatreya's Song of the Avadhut (Classics of Mystical Literature Series,)

One of the best known mystical treatises of ancient classical Indian literature, The Avadhut Gita, or "Song of The Avadhut," is also one of the most sublime and uncompromising poetic statements ever written on the unitive knowledge obtained through mystical vision. It has stood for centuries as the quintessential representative of jnan, the path of knowledge. Abhayananda provides a compellingly eloquent English translation, with Sanskrit transliteration on facing pages.
