Ashtavakra Gita
The Ashtavakra Gita or the Song of Ashtavakra (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashtavakra), also known as Ashtavakra Samhita is an Advaita Vedanta scripture which documents a dialogue between the Perfect Master Ashtavakra and Janaka, the King of Mithila. (Wiki)

I know there's more out there, when I find them I'll post'em here! If you know of any please share :)

Has anyone read any of these?
I really want to eventually! From the little that I've seen, they're pretty cool!

Oh and this site (http://www.purebhakti.com/library/index.shtml) also offers other books for free PDF download, mostly Krishna related. Good resource! I never had any problems (viruses, etc) with them either.

Another nice thread Agaliha. In regards to other Gita texts there is the Uddhava Gita which consits of the 6th to 29th chapter of the 11th canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam (or Bhagavad Purana) available here- http://bhagavata.org/canto11/c11-contents.html

This was the only translation of the text I could find online, and I should note Prabhupada's translation of the text is a fair bit biased (eg: he translates asura as atheist in some areas of the Purana). Regardless I still think it gets the general point the text is trying to make, and I still have to praise Prabhupada for preforming such a mammoth task as translating the Bhagavatam.

Edit: There's also the Guru Gita from the Skanda Purana, but I'm not sure where you'd find it online.

Thanks Baobabtree :)

I also updated with the Ashtavakra Gita (see first post)!
And I'll add more when I find them.
