ASHTAVAKRA

Ashtavakra was the son of a lesser disciple of the great sage Uddalaka.The disciple married to Uddalaka's daughter.The unborn child, who already had mastered the Vedas,kept twisting and turning within the womb, unable to bear his father's mistakes in recitation, and  was therefore born with eight deformations. Hence he was called Ashta (8) Vakras ( bends).
Ashtavakra went on to become a great sage himself., and had  the honor of having  the King Janaka  as one of his students.
Ashtavakra, one of the Mithila's "Vibhutis" wrote Gita, " THE ASHTAVAKRA GITA". It has been called "a quantum leap into the absolute"
Even the Bhagvad Gita does not have the majesty found in it------ it is simply unparalleled

It teaches how one can rest in the stillness from which emerge the qualities of life and love, peace and compassion, bliss and enlightenment.
