Bhaja Govindam - Verse by Verse in Sanskrit

Bhaja govindam is a stotra uttered by Adi shankaracharya. It consists of 33 verses. There is an anecdote behind how this stotra came into being. In Kashi, Acharya Shankara saw an old man reciting the dhatupatha and got angry that at his age he should have been meditating upon Govinda. It came out forcefully and rhythmically out of the Great Acharya who intended to demolish the ignorance in the old man, hence called as Moha-Mudgara Stotra. But this singably arranged, simple-worded stotra came to be called as “Bhaja Govinda” Stotra. The verses are all independent and not at all connected with each other and each verse is a complete idea in itself.

In these video lectures, Smt. Vidhya Ramesh explains the verses in simple Sanskrit. Explanation includes the shloka, padaccheda, anvaya, meaning in Sanskrit and English, grammatical characteristics of the individual words, Kaaraka and non-kaaraka relationships, Sandhi, Samaasa, Chandas, etc. which will be useful for Sanskrit students. While the anvaya helps in understanding the verse in the sentence form and structure, the Akanksha will help the student to get grip upon all the idea elements in the shloka. The vyutpatti of the words is an added advantage. There is a detailed explanation about each word construction in the shloka along with ample examples. The words that constitute the shloka are compared with occurrences at the other places i.e. from famous works for a better understanding of the prayoga. Everything is presented through beautiful slides with good aesthetic appeal accompanied by the melodious rendering of the mula shloka. We thank Smt.
