Hindu Wisdom - Mohamudgara - A Philosophical Classic of Sankaracharya

[Guest guest]

Adi Sankaracharya's works dealing with philosophy of Advaita

fall into two groups: one consisting of Prasthanatraya and the other

more systematic manuals known as Prakaranas. These prakarana texts

exhibit the truths of Vedanta in a well-defined and unambiguous

manner.

 

The Mohamudgara, popularly known as Bhajagovinda Slokalu, as its

name implies, contains the quintessence of Upanishadic wisdom in

which Advaita philosophy is expounded in poetic form. Each slokam

deals with one or other of the main problems of metaphysics from the

advaita standpoint.

 

In Mohamudgara, Sankarabhagavadpada addresses us

as 'moodhamate'or ignorant since everyone at some level is stupid,

is helpless and this recognition helps us to act wisely. As life is a

combination of ignorance and knowledge, it needs fine-tuning with

humility and understanding. This helps one to identify with

essential nature to distinguish the non-dual Brahman from the world

of plurality.

 

A very poignant and candid discourse 'Bhajagovindam' paves path

for excellent living and personality development, the pinacle of

which is Kaivalyam of Moksham.

 

I request you to listen to Mohamudgara in this auspicious

Margasiramasam.
