Atma bodha

Synopsis

Ātma-bodha (Sanskrit: आत्मबोधः ) is a short Advaita Vedanta text composed in Sanskrit. Traditionally it is attributed to Adi Shankara (8th c. CE), but likely composed in the 11th to early 14th century. The text in sixty-eight verses describes the path to Self-knowledge or the awareness of Atman. The Vedanta tradition states that the text was written by Shankara for his disciple, Sanandana, also known as Padmapāda. Ātma-bodha is a prakarṇa grantha: literature that explains the terms and terminologies used in the Śāstras but they do not contribute any original thought.
