Shankaracharya, a revered philosopher, lived a short but impactful life. He revived Hinduism after the rise of Buddhism and Jainism. His famous poem, Bhaja Govindam, challenges materialism and promotes spiritual focus. This work, praised for its wisdom and devotion, is simplified for modern readers in this book.

Description

Adi Shankara, or Shankaracharya, as most refer to this great philosopher sage, lived well over a thousand years. In the 32 years that he lived, he achieved more than many would do in many lifetimes. Post Buddhism and Jainism, Shankara single-handedly resurrected a battered Hindu religion. Bhaja Govindam, history says, arose from Shankara’s dismay at seeing an old man memorizing Sanskirt grammar rules. In his inimitable and unique style, Shankara tells him to stop. Remember the Lord’s name instead, says the master. Bhaja Govindam lays many of our cherished value systems bare of their sophisticated facade. In the process, Shankara shatters one’s delusions that condition our life. Rajaji considers this work to be where wisdom meets devotion. Ram Ramanathan, in this book, tries to simplify it in line with modern life.
