The Bhaja Govindam highlights the two human motivations – acquisition and enjoyment. Its thirty-one verses point out human infatuation to the two motivations that consumes one’s life. Resulting in complacency and delusion. Lifts your intellect to visualise the self-inflicted bondage. Urges one to gain knowledge, turn introverted and seek the Atma, the supreme Self. The weekly study program is conducted by Shri. Rangarajan, disciple of Swami Parthasarathy. This is an introductory study. No prior knowledge of Vedanta or Sanskrit is needed to attend.
सत्सङ्गत्वे निस्सङ्गत्वं निस्सङ्गत्वे निर्मोहत्वम् |
निर्मोहत्वे निश्चलतत्त्वं निश्चलतत्त्वे जीवन्मुक्तिः ‖ 9 ‖
From the company of the good arises non-attachment, from non-attachment arises freedom from delusion, from non-delusion arises absolute steadfastness, from absolute steadfastness arises liberation in life.
- Bhaja Govindam, Verse 9
