Hammer to Illusion: Unraveling the truth and beauty of the Bhaja Govindam

There is a great need for a “hammer to illusion,” and this can be none other than God’s love. Bhaja Govindam is an epic poem by Sri Adi Shankara and was named Moha Mudgara, meaning the hammer that shatters worldly illusions. I hope this commentary on Bhaja Govindam will be simple to understand and that people will realise the joy in serving God and realise the oneness and kinship in spirit. There are several renditions of the Bhaja Govindam available and together with the words and meaning, I hope people can appreciate fully its essence and enjoy the beauty of the concept of Advaita.
