{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
Stotram Digitalized By 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.

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,

back to the God principle.

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

old man spending his years at a mere intellectual accomplishment while

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

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

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

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

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

verses in this version is not found in all editions.

by children. It is divided into dvAdashapanjarikA and charpaTapanjarikA

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

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

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

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.

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

mind to thoughts to the Real. Be content with what comes

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

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

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

lotus leaf. Know that the whole world remains a prey to

disease, ego and grief.
