SLOGAM [STANZA] 1.[By Swami Adi Sankaracharya.]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------/

 BHAJAGOVINDAM  BHAJAGOVINDAM

 GOVINDAM  BHAJA  MOODAMATHE

 SAMPRAPTHE  SANNIHITHE  KALE

 NAHI  NAHI  RAKSHATHI  DUKRUJNA  KARANE.

Bhajagovindam bhajagovindam govindam bhajamudamathe = Pray Govinda, pray govinda pray govinda only ignorent man!

Sannihithe  kale  samprapthe = When the time [Death] arrives,

Dukrujna  karane  nahi nahi rakshathi = No formula will come to your rescue.


This begining slogam is pallavi, from next slogam onwards this pallavi is repeated. During Satsamgham meetings, all participants can sing this keerthanam; one leads the group witha slogam, and others will repeat this pallavi after.

Acharya in this first slogam declares to his sishyas, to discard greed to amass wealth and come out of the desires, then instead fill with Eswara [Lord] chindha [thoughts].

The word dukrujnakarane is used  as this is a symbol for materialism and wealth.

INTRODUCTION : 6. 6.1 Taking the opening stanza as a refrain or chorus to be chanted for emphasis at the end of following verses, tradition has it that the immediately following twelve stanzas were given out by the Acharya himself. They together go under the name Dwadasa Manjarika Stotram. Very contagious must have been the Teacher inspired mood and the exploding poem, that each of his followers, at that time in his company, considered a stanza of his own, and they together stand under the title Caturdasa Manjarika Stotram. After listening to all verses, Sankaracharya blesses all true seekers of all times in the last four stanzas. 6.2 This set of thirty one stanzas, together titled Moha Mudgara, has been very popular in our country. It is but natural that it gets published again and again by various institutions and, slowly, different types of readings get to be equally popular. Some of the alternative readings we have noted here and there in our commenta
