THE VEDANTIC ETHIC

Two verses from great Sri Sankara’s famous hymn Bhaja Govindam may here be read. They express the practice of Hinduism prevailing now and for centuries past.

Sing the Gita, and the thousand names of God;                                         

Continuously meditate on Lakshmi’s Lord;

Turn the mind to the company of the good;

Give away your wealth to the needy.

Trust yourself wholly to the lotus feet of the Teacher;

Freed from the shackles of samsaara,

With your senses and mind controlled in this manner,

You will see the God residing in your heart.

This is the last verse of the Bhaja Govindam hymns of Sri Sankara.
