Bhaja Govindam Slokam Meaning:
1) Worship Govinda, Worship Govinda, Worship Govinda. *Oh fool! Rules of
Grammar will not save you at the time of your death. ( I also like it) *
2) Oh fool! Give up your thirst to amass wealth, devote your mind to
thoughts to the Real.* Be content with what comes through actions already
performed in the past. ( like it)*
3) 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. Do not fail to remember this again and again in your mind. ( one of
the 10 commaandments)
4) The life of a man is as uncertain as rain drops trembling on a lotus
leaf. Know that the whole world remains a prey to disease, ego and grief.
(next one)
5) So long as a man is fit and able to support his family, see the
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. ( frfiendship varied
3rd command)
6) 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. ( Tirumular write PARINAI NEEKKI PINAM ENDRU PEYARITTU )
7) childhood is lost by attachment to playfulness. Youth is lost by
attachment to woman. Old age passes away by thinking over many past things.
But there is hardly anyone who wants to be lost in parabrahmam. ( SO DO
CONCENTRATE MORE)
8) Who is your wife? Who is your son? Strange is this samsara. Of whom are
you? From where have you come? Brother, ponder over these truths here. (
QUESTIONING IS NOT ONLY FOR AIRTEL)
9) From Satsangh comes non-attachment, from non-attachment comes freedom
from delusion, which leads to self-settledness. From self-settledness comes
Jeevan Mukti. ( b G SAID KRODHAT BHAVATHI)
10) 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 when
the Truth is known? ( DO NOT CHASE A CROOKED SHADOW)
11) Do not boast of wealth, friends, and youth. Each one of these are
destroyed within a minute. Free yourself from the illusion of the world of
Maya and attain the timeless Truth. ( FINDING TRUTH IS TOUGH FACTS ARE
VARIABLES)
12) Daylight and darkness, dusk and dawn, winter and springtime come and
go. Time plays and life ebbs away. But the storm of desire never leaves.
AGE IS A NUMBER OR NUMERALS MULTIPLIED BY CONVERTION TABLE)
13) This bouquet of twelve verses was imparted to a grammarian by the
all-knowing Shankara, adored as the bhagavadpada. { ABOVE IS ENOUGH BUT...
FOR THE IGNORANTS PROCEEDING FURTHER...}
14) Oh mad man! Why this engrossment in thoughts of wealth? Is there no one
to guide you? There is only one thing in three worlds that can save you
from the ocean from samsara. Get into that boat of satsangha quickly. {
EVEN 120 YEARS IS NOT ENOUGH TO SOME WHO CANNOT KNOW BRAHMAM IS ONE BUT 32
CAN)
15) 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 saffron,
yet others in various colors — all just for a livelihood. Seeing truth
revealed before them, still the foolish ones see it not. { MAZHITALUM
NEETALUM VENDAAVAAM YAKKAIKKU ULAGAM PAZHITHATHU OZHITHUVIDIN TIRUKKURAL}
16) 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. { FUNNY PEOPLE WHO CANNOT DESERT
THEIR ILLETREATE EGO}
17) 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. ( SALIVAN THOUGHTS STILL)
18) One may go to Gangasagar(GanGes), observe fasts, and give away riches
in charity! Yet, devoid of jnana, nothing can give mukthi even at the end
of a hundred births. { KASIVISWANTHA DHARSAN SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT OUT THE
GNANAM}
19) Take your residence in a temple or below a tree, wear the deerskin for
the dress, and sleep with mother earth as your bed. Give up all attachments
and renounce all comforts. Blessed with such vairagya, could any fail to be
content? { WEARING LUNGI ETC ARE NOT NEEDED}
20) One may take delight in yoga or bhoga, may have attachment or
detachment. But only he whose mind steadily delights in Brahman enjoys
bliss, no one else. {ADISHANKARA TREATED THE MOLTEN IRON AND TODDY AS ONE}
21) Let a man read but a little from Gitaa, drink just a drop of water from
the ganges, worship murari (govinda) just once. He then will have no
altercation with Yama. (PUSHPAM PALAM TOYAM}
22) Born again, death again, birth again to stay in the mother’s womb ! It
is indeed hard to cross this boundless ocean of samsara. Oh Murari ! Redeem
me through Thy mercy. (KARMA IS REPETITTIVE)
3) There is no shortage of clothing for a monk so long as there are rags
cast off the road. Freed from vice and virtue, onward he wanders. One who
lives in communion with God enjoys bliss, pure and uncontaminated, like a
child and as someone intoxicated. (DRESSES IN THE ALMIRAH NO ONE WILL WEAR)
24) Who are you? Who am I? From where do I come? Who is my mother, who is
my father? Ponder thus, look at everything as essenceless and give up the
world as an idle dream. (WHO AM I RAMANA)
25) In me, in you and in everything, none but the same Vishnu dwells. Your
anger and impatience is meaningless. If you wish to attain the status of
Vishnu soon, have samabhava always. (PRANAM IS MEANT TO ALL THOSE DESERVING
AT TIMES EVEN TO OTHERS BODILY MAY NOT BUT SOUL IS VISHNU , AS AGAINST
MISUNDERSTOOD BY CHOMSKY)
26) Do not waste your efforts to win the love of or to fight against friend
and foe, children and relatives. See yourself in everyone and give up all
feelings of duality completely ( BUT ADI SHANKARA WENT TOT HE EXTREME TO
DEBATE TO ESTABLISH THE DHARMA DO NOT FORGET ACTVION IS A MUST).
27) Give up lust, anger, infatuation, and greed. Ponder over your real
nature. Fools are they who are blind to the Self. Cast into hell they
suffer there endlessly. ( i LIKE IT)
28) Regularly recite from the Gita, meditate on Vishnu [thro’ Vishnu
sahasranama] in your heart, and chant His thousand glories. Take delight to
be with the noble and the holy. Distribute your wealth in charity to the
poor and the needy. ( WHAT IS THE USES OF MACHINES?)
29) He who yields to lust for pleasure leaves his body prey to disease.
Though death brings an end to everything, man does not give up the sinful
path. ( UNAWARE TO SEEK THE DOCTOR WILL JIBE AT OTHERS)
30) Wealth is not welfare, truly there is no joy in it. Reflect thus at all
times. A rich man fears even his own son. This is the way of wealth
everywhere. ( OORUNI NEER NIRAINDHATRAEVAAM ULAGU PERARIVALAN THRU
TIRUKKURAL)
31) Oh devotee of the lotus feet of the Guru! May thou be soon free from
Samsara. Through disciplined senses and controlled mind, thou shalt come to
experience the Indwelling Lord of your heart! ( FINAL PLEADINGS)
32) Thus was a silly grammarian lost in rules cleansed of his narrow vision
and shown the Light by Shankara’s apostles. ( ENGLISH GRAMMAR IS USELESS)
3) Worship Govinda, worship Govinda, worship Govinda, Oh fool! Other than
chanting the Lord’s names, there is no other way to cross the life’s ocean.
