Introduction to Bhaja Govinda Stotram

 

Seek Govinda, Seek Govinda, Seek Govinda

 

Bhagvadpada Acharya Sankara taught the fundamentals of Vedanta in simple musical verses in 'Bhaja Govindam'. A sincere study of this poem can remove one's delusions (Moha) and so the poem is called as 'Moha Mudgara'.

How this poem emanated is a popular story. This poem came into being from the inspiring heart of the Great Teacher Adi Sankara. It is said that once in Kasi (Benares) as Sankara along with his fourteen of his disciples was passing, he overheard a pandit repeating himself the grammar rules for rote memory. It was a futile effort and waste of time, which does not help one to realise the spiritual unfoldment in himself. Then Sankaracharya is said have burst forth the famous Bhaja Govindam Stotram. Grammar rules(Dukrun Karane) will not help any one at the time of death. While alive strive to realise the deathless state of purity and perfection.

 

Jai Shree Krishna
