Bhaja Govindam
Bhaja Govindam is Adi Shankara’s masterpiece on devotion.
In just 31 verses Shankara weaves the threads of wisdom into an eternal garment for everyday living. So our knowledge and action are clothed in the eternal.
The text unravels the limitations of chasing happiness in our world while encouraging humanity to seek it within themselves.
The classes will begin on
