Dasabodha : 7th century Adwaita Vedanta spiritual text originally composed in Marāthi; dāsa-bodha means ‘advice to the disciple’. It was orally narrated by the saint Samarth Rāmdās to his disciple, Kalyān Swami. The narration is believed to have taken place in a cave called Shivatharghal in the Raighad district of Maharashtra. As per the tradition of those times Dāsabodha is written in the Owi form – each Owi is made up of four line lines; its 7751 Owis are distributed over 20 main parts called Dashaka each of which contains 10 sub-parts called as Samāsas. They present the essence of many Vedic texts, in simple, straightforward & easy to understand language. It is considered a manual for life as it provides a detailed instruction on how to function & excel in society from a place of deep spiritual understanding.
