{Introduction}

Bhaja Govindam was written by Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya. A biography

of Shankara and his other compositions of Vedic literature can be

found in the shankara.itx document. Bhaja govindaM is one of the

minor compositions of the spiritual giant, Adi Shankaracharya. It is

classified as a prakaraNa grantha, a primer to the major works. Though

sung as a bhajan, it contains the essence of Vedanta and implores the

man to think, Why am I here in this life ? Why am I amassing wealth,

family, but have no peace ? What is the Truth ? What is the purpose of

life ? The person thus awakened gets set on a path to the inner road

back to the God principle.

The background of Bhaja GovindaM is worth examining. During his stay in

Kashi, Adi Shankaracharya noticed a very old man studying the rules of Sanskrit

by Panini. Shankara was touched with pity at seeing the plight of the

old man spending his years at a mere intellectual accomplishment while

he would be better off praying and spending time to control his mind.

Shankara understood that the majority of the world was also engaged in mere

intellectual, sense pleasures and not in the divine contemplation. Seeing this,

he burst forth with the verses of Bhaja govindaM. In 31 verses, he,

like no other, explains our fallacies, our wrong outlook for life, and

dispels our ignorance and delusions. Thus bhaja govindaM was originally

http://sanskritdocuments.org/


known as moha mudgAra, the remover of delusions.

Shankara explains, nay chides, us for spending our time in useless

trivia like amassing wealth, lusting after (wo)men and requests us

to discriminate and cultivate the knowledge to learn the difference

between the real and the unreal. To emphasise that, he concludes that

all knowledge other than the Self-Knowledge is useless, Shankara makes

the person realize how foolish he/she is in the conduct and behaviour by

these verses, and shows the purpose of our worldly existence, which is

to seek Govinda and attain Him.

Bhaja govindaM is divided into dvAdasha manjarikA stotram and chaturdasha

manjarika stotram. At the end of composing the first stanza, it is said

that Shankara burst forth with the next 11 stanzas of bhaja govindam.

Thus stanzas 1-12 are called dvAdash manjarika stotram. Inspired by

the extempore recital by Shankara, each of his 14 disciples composed

a verse and the 14 verse compendium is called chaturdasha manjarika

stotram. Shankara added the finishing touches by adding five of his

own stanzas at the last bringing the total to 31- The last two

verses in this version is not found in all editions.

Bhaja govindaM has been set to musical tones and sung as prayer songs

by children. It is divided into dvAdashapanjarikA and charpaTapanjarikA

for this purpose. The former is a set of verses (verses 1-12a) while the

rest of the verses form charpaTapanjarikA. Anyone who listens to the

music of Bhaja govindaM is attracted to it. However, the significance

of the text goes much deeper and contains a well defined philosophy of

attaining salvation.



Shankara's words seem to be quite piercing and seem to lack the softness

and tenderness often found in his other texts, thus addressing directly.

The reason is that this was an extempore recital to an old man. His words

can be compared to a knife of a surgeon. The surgeon's knife cruelly

removes the tumour with much pain, but removing the tumour ultimately

restores good health in the patient. So are Shankara's words, which pierce

and point out our ignorance. It is a knife into the heart of worldliness,

and by removing this tumour of ignorance, we can attain everlasting bliss

with the grace of Govinda.

May the AchAryA guide us from ignorance to truth.

OM tat sat.

Worship Govinda, worship Govinda, worship Govinda, Oh fool !

Oh fool ! Give up your thirst to amass wealth, devote your

through actions already performed in the past.

Do not get drowned in delusion by going wild with passions and

lust by seeing a woman's navel and chest. These are nothing but

a modification of flesh. Fail not to remember this again and

again in your mind.

The life of a person is as uncertain as rain drops trembling on a

So long as a man is fit and able to support his family, see

what affection all those around him show. But no one at home

cares to even have a word with him when his body totters due to

old age.

When one is alive, his family members enquire kindly about his

welfare. But when the soul departs from the body, even his wife

runs away in fear of the corpse.

The childhood is lost by attachment to playfulness. Youth is lost by



attachment to woman. Old age passes away by thinking over many

things. But there is hardly anyone who wants to be lost in

parabrahman.

From satsanga, company of good people, comes non-attachment,

from non-attachment comes freedom from delusion, which leads to

self-settledness. From self-settledness comes JIvan muktI.

What good is lust when youth has fled ? What use is a lake

which has no water ? Where are the relatives when wealth is

gone ? Where is samsAra, the world, when the Truth is known ?

There are many who go with matted locks, many who have clean

shaven heads, many whose hairs have been plucked out; some are



clothed in orange, yet others in various colours --- all just for

a livelihood. Seeing truth revealed before them, still the

foolish ones see it not.

Strength has left the old man's body; his head has become bald,

his gums toothless and leaning on crutches. Even then the

attachment is strong and he clings firmly to fruitless desires.

Behold there lies the man who sits warming up his body with the

fire in front and the sun at the back; at night he curls up the

body to keep out of the cold; he eats his beggar's food from

the bowl of his hand and sleeps beneath the tree. Still in his

heart, he is a wretched puppet at the hands of passions.
