Bhaja Govindam
bhaja govindaṁ bhaja govindaṁ
भज गोविन्दं भज गोविन्दं गोविन्दं भज मूढमते । सम्प्राप्ते सन्निहिते काले नहि नहि रक्षति डुकृञ्करणे ॥
bhaja govindaṁ bhaja govindaṁ govindaṁ bhaja mūḍhamate । samprāpte sannihite kāle nahi nahi rakṣati ḍukṛñkaraṇe ॥
Meaning
Worship Govinda, worship Govinda, worship Govinda, oh deluded mind. When the appointed hour comes, grammar rules will not save you.
Why recite it
The great corrective hymn — recited to cut through worldly distraction and remember what matters.
