Avadhoota Gita is an ancient unconventional holy book respected by all monistic Vedantins in general and Nathists in particular. Besides being revolutionary in philosophy, it is a sublime impetuous song. It is an ecstatic song turned to Indian less known schools of monistic realism, distinct from the more popular monistic illusionism of Shankaracharya.
