2024-02-1954 minThe Jedi LibraryThe Jedi Ashtavakra GitaThe Ashtavakra Gita is an ancient Hindu text structured in the form of a dialogue between the sage Ashtavakra and his pupil Janaka – the king of Mithila, a region of North Eastern India. The dating of the text is near-impossible with a potential age range as wide as 700 to 2500 years from present.In any case, it is packed full of wisdom and crying out for a revised ‘Jedi’ treatment.

2023-06-131h 34The Jedi LibraryA Brief History of The ForceWhat is The Force? If nothing else, The Force is a thought – it is an idea, a representation in our finite minds of the infinite, eternal and binding, the common thread that links all phenomena. Above us, beneath us, around us – but also in us and in everything that we typically understand as not-us.This idea of a Divine Force wasn’t invented as a neat narrative device for a 1970s space opera. It is a universal and near-ubiquitous concept that has been experienced and studied throughout recorded history, and beyond. The Jedi Library - what has it...
