Akkalkot Shri Swami Samarth Lilamrita

The early life of this perfect avadhuta, whose real name and age are still completely unknown, remains a mystery. At some point, he simply appeared in this world as a magnificent presence, a spiritual powerhouse and shelter of love and compassion for the suffering and downtrodden, and then he effortlessly departed. Akkalkot Shri Swami Samarth was a truly divine incarnation; he existed only for the sake of others. This present volume is not only a record of Shri Swami’s lilas but also an evidence of their continuation in the present. This book, the way that it came into being, and the way that it will have its own life in the world, is also a divine lila of the eternally present and still-active Lord of Akkalkot.

Nothing to Understand: U. G. Krishnamurti & The Avadhuta Path of Total Dissolution

The Avadhuta Path, which has been exemplified by such spiritual luminaries as Sai Baba of Shirdi, Bhagavan Nityananda and Shiva Prabhkara Siddha Yogi, does not merely involve the awakening to the transcendent Self but also the dissolution of all possible patterns of perception and conception that yield a dualistic, differentiated perspective of reality. The Great Beings who become established in this absolutely non-conceptual, mind-free state, though perhaps appearing totally ordinary or, conversely, even quite eccentric or mad, come to attain a completely unimpeded and omnipotent freedom of activity within the earthly as well as subtler, extraterrestrial spheres of existence. All that we can ever know and perceive of Avadhutas from an ordinary earthly perspective is verily just a wafer-thin slice of their full multidimensional stature and operating capacity.

Avadhuta Gita

Avadhuta Gita: The Reality-Path Of Lord Dattatreya (The Avadhuta Series Book 1)

Avadhuta Gita is a spontaneous hymn that directly communicates the nature of Reality as It is. In this volume, which combines a newly rendered version of the original scripture along with a powerful transmission-commentary,Jack H. Barratt provides the reader with a profound and tacitly experiential insight into the essence of the Avadhuta Way—The Reality-Path of Lord Dattatreya. The commentary, which serves as a parallel and complementary text to the original, is itself a rare and refined example of true spiritual writing—a tribute to the tradition of genuine Reality-Utterance.

Ocean Of Spaciousness: Twenty-Four Transmissions From the Heart of Natural Spirituality

Ocean Of Spaciousness offers a living key to the path of natural spirituality. This path simultaneously involves the gradual release of awareness into its pure unconditional source, and the alchemical transmutation of the body into a vibrant and nectarous vessel of high-frequency spiritual emanation. This book directly communicates the spirit of this genuine liberatory experience through a text that is impregnated with that naturally realised state of all-pervasive spaciousness.

Ashtavakra Gita : A Conversation Within the Core of Spaciousness

Ashtavakra Gita is one of the finest written testimonies to expound upon the nature of Reality and the lived condition of liberation and self-realisation. In this work, which serves more as an intimate spiritual conversation than a dry scholastic commentary, Jack H. Barratt has spontaneously composed a parallel transmission text that helps to both bring out the subtleties inherent within the original text, and also to provide a more relatable explication of how we ourselves are to come to the point of establishment within pure, non-dual, spacious awareness and, eventually, full liberation.
Avadhutam: Volume I

Avadhutam

Avadhutam is an ongoing collection of short writings about the Datta path—the natural spiritual path of avadhutas. If Avadhuta Gita provides an insight into the nature of the absolute truth, then this book guides us on how to fully live that absolute truth in the world. This path takes its inspiration from the lifetime of Lord Dattatreya, the primordial avadhuta who learnt from twenty-four gurus that were either elements, animals or people within the natural world. On the avadhuta path, Datta’s spontaneous discipleship to nature represents learning and transforming through our own nature and through our natural interactions with the outside world and other living beings.
