Back of The Book

When the rumblings of foreign assaults on India’s ancient Sanatana-dhrma began with Muhammad bin Qasim’s defeat of Raja Dahir of Sindh in 711 A.D., the land remained splintered politically. The times were not promising for bringing the national together in any manner. Just then, the gift of resurgence and spiritual unification came with the advent of Adi Sankara in 788 A.D. Renouncing material life, he mastered India’s ancient lore and cleared the cobwebs that obscured the Eternal Religion and interpreted cruicial scriptures like the Brahma-Sutra, the Upanisads and the Gita in the
light of Advaita Vedanta. Understanding the need of the aspirants to reach out to the Unknown through the known, Adi Sankara inaugurated the vast area of stotra literature, which remains the common man’s gateway tot eh Divine every today.

About The Book

Structured as a concise introduction to the varied writings of the greatest Advaitic philosopher the world has known, Adi Sankara: Finite to the Infinite recounts his life and travels. The individual writings are discussed to show how he was the father of the commentatorial tradition for which India is famous. What emerges in the end is an inspiring figure of an intrepid scholar, an illustrious teacher, a visionary administrator and a superb poet. Certainly, we have in Adi Sankara’s personality the much-needed motivation for the youth of today who are building the new India.

Description:

Adi Sankara’s Bhaja Govindam is a little collection of thirty-one verses in Sanskrit by the saint and scholar Adi Sankaracharya and his disciples. Also known as Moha Mudgara or The End of Illusion, the verses look at the eternal question of man’s quest for happiness in a world that is transient and filled with delusions. Sankara in clear and lucid language, (probably the simplest Sanskrit text available) speaks of man’s weaknesses – lust, anger, greed and attachment – and the steps needed to overcome them. Our present translation includes stories from the vast repertoire of wisdom literature across a wide spectrum of spiritual traditions. It also contains an exhaustive biography of Adi Sankara himself, his contribution to Hinduism and a chapter on the relevance of Bhaja Govindam today.

Editorial Reviews

"In his short life of thirty-two years Sankara achieved that union of age and saint,of wisdom and kindliness,which characterizes the loftiest type of man produced in India." --Will Durant/American Philosopher "Sri Sankara has packed into the Bhaja Govindam song,the substance of all the Vedantic works that he wrote and he has set the truth of the union of devotion and knowledge to melodious music which delights every year." --Sri C.Rajagopalachari/Author of amazon best sellers like Ramayana&Mahabharata. It is impossible to read Sankara's writings,packed as they are with serious and subtle thinking,without being conscious that one is in contact with a mind of very fine penetration and profound spirituality...The rays of his genius have illumined the dark places of thought and soothed the sorrows of the most forlorn heart.He is a philospher and a poet,a savant and a saint,a mystic and a religious reformer.There have been few minds more universal than this." --Dr.Radhakrishnan Sri Sankara has packed into the Bhaja Govindam song,the substance of all the Vedantic works that he wrote and he has set the truth of the union of devotion and knowledge to melodious music which delights every ear." --Sri C.Rajagopalachari/Author of amazon best sellers like Ramayana&Mahabharata.

In the depths of all of us there is a secret longing,a silent impulse,a soaring ambition to do something beautifully great,spectacularly noble,and surely endearing.This is a divine summon from the deeper pressure in us,to take off from the decaying levels of mediocrity into voiceless heights of spontaneity and perfection.We must hark to these indisputable intimations divine-too sacred to ignore,too cruel,if we should reject." -Swami Chinmayananda. Some are asleep and do not wish to be woken up, Others even though asleep,think or pretend to be awake. Some who really want to wake up from their state of ignorance can be awakened by others. A journey of thousand miles begins with the first step. Once we begin,we shall reach the final destination sooner or later. Most of us only have a problem of starting: Thereafter we are pushed forward, Willingly or unwillingly. Our own thoughts will not allow us tosit quietly. -Swami Tejomayananda. The works of the great Spiritual Masters are a perennial source of knowledge, inspiration and joy.This book falls into the same category. --Inspirations From Great Masters

About the Author

About the Author: The book s translation and commentary is by Chandrika. She is the author of another translation, Srimad Rajchandraji s Atma Siddhi, In Search of the Soul.She is a seeker who believes that in the sacred literature of the world lies the answer to many of the problems that baffle modern man. She writes with humility and faith, hoping that the texts she comments about touches a chord in her reader, with the same resonance with which it has touched her.

The gracefulness and the smoothness of the figure is manifest in the way the brass image is being carved out. The ferocious image of the mother goddess Kali with the garland of human skulls, and the beheaded figure on her one hand, has been given a refine treatment. She is being shown trampling over sleeping Shiva. Her body is being given a detail treatment and her feminine nature is manifest in the figure. It contains some beautiful carvings on the body.

Shankara's life may be compared to a brilliant flash of lightning that eradicated many areas of darkness in the life of man. He had an intellect that probed fearlessly, a mind that questioned constantly and a heart that felt deeply. Out of these God-given gifts, and thirty-two years of tireless seeking, arose a great system of philosophy, Advaita, and an inspiring body of devotional literature.

Shankara travelled throughout India, preaching that the Self or Brahman is one - undivided and imperishable. The rest is Maya or illusion. We are told of his historic debate with the sage, Madana Mishra, when the latter withdrew defeated. An even greater story tells us how Shankara, the learned Brahman, bowed to the superior wisdom of a lowly outcaste, accepting him as a Guru.

He established several maths to spread his philosophy. Then, as now, the disruptive forces of religion, race, caste and language threatened to weaken the fabric of the one nation that is India. Now, as then, the teachings of a man like Shankara, who believed in the One Undivided Self, reinforces a sense of unity among Indians.

Editorial Reviews

Bhaja Govindam(Praise/Seek Govinda) also known as Moha Mudgara (Hammer to shatter illusion) is a popular 8th century Hindu devotional composition in Sanskrit attributed to Adi Shankaracharya. This work of Adi Shankara underscores the view that devotion (Bhakti) to God, Govinda, is a vastly important part of general spirituality, as emphasised by Bhakti Yoga and the Bhakti movement.This work is generally considered a summary of Adi Shankara's Advaita Vedanta philosophy. This timeless composition is a reminder that the author, Adi Shankaracharya, who is often regarded as a stalwart advocate of the Jnana Marga (Jnana Yoga) or the "Path of Knowledge" to attain Mukti, yielded to none in appreciating, indeed enjoining the Bhakti Marga (Bhakti Yoga) or the "Path of Faith/Devotion" to the same goal,and as C. Rajagopalachari put in his commentary, "When intelligence matures and lodges securely in the heart, it becomes wisdom. When that wisdom is integrated with life and issues out in action, it becomes devotion. Knowledge which has become mature is spoken of as devotion. If it does not get transformed into devotion, such knowledge is useless tinsel." In this prayer, Adi Shankaracharya emphasizes the importance of devotion for God as a means to spiritual development and to liberation from the cycle of birth and death. The prayer leaves one in no doubt that the renunciation of our egotistical differences and surrender to God makes for salvation. Many scholars hold that this composition encapsulates with both brevity and simplicity the substance of all Vedantic thought found in whatever other works that Adi Shankaracharya wrote: The refrain "Bhaja Govindam" which defines the composition and gives it its name invokes the almighty in the aspect of Vishnu; it is therefore very popular not only with Sri Adi Shankaracharya's immediate followers, the Smarthas, but also with Vaishnavas and others. --Wikipedia

In India, this process dates back over 5000 years to the Indus Valley Civilization. Their art pieces speak about the plain and simple tribal life, way of living and their aspirations and hopes.
