1. INTRODUCTION : 3.

In Swami ji's missionary work of propagating the great philosophical truths of the Upanishads and rediscovering through them the true cultural basis of our Nation Bharatham, Acharya Swami ji had a variety of efficient weapons in his resourceful  armoury. Swami ji was indeed pre-eminently the fittest genius who alone could have undertaken this self-appointed task as the sole guardian-mahatma of the RISHI-CULTURE.

An exquisite thinker, a brilliant intellect, a personality scintillating with the vision of Truth, a heart throbbing with industrious faith and ardent desire to serve the nation, sweetly emotional and relentlessly logical; in Swami ji the Upanishad discovered the fittest Spiritual General.

It was indeed a vast programme that Swami ji had to accomplish within the span of about twenty five years; for at the age of thirty-two Swami ji had finished his work and had folded up his Manifestation among the mortals of the world.

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
