Bhaja - Govindam With Sanskrit - English - Hindi Commentaries | by Dr. S. Geethamani Amma, S. Shobana, R. Bindu, S. Leelakumari Amma

Bhaja Govindam is one of the most revered devotional compositions by the great philosopher-saint Adi Shankaracharya. This book, presented in a trilingual format with Sanskrit, English, and Hindi, provides a deep spiritual insight into the transient nature of life and the importance of devotion to Lord Govinda (Lord Vishnu). With its timeless wisdom, Bhaja Govindam emphasizes the significance of spiritual practice and the pursuit of true knowledge to attain liberation from the cycle of birth and death.

The text consists of a series of verses in Sanskrit, each of which offers profound teachings on the impermanence of worldly possessions and pleasures. Shankaracharya, through these verses, urges the devotee to focus on devotion to the Supreme Lord and the cultivation of wisdom, which leads to true peace and freedom from the material world.

The English and Hindi translations complement the original Sanskrit verses, making the text accessible to a wider audience. The translations retain the essence of Shankaracharya's message while providing clarity and understanding for modern readers. Each verse serves as a reminder to overcome distractions and attachments, and to seek the eternal truth through devotion and self-realization.
