[Heclailia]

Namassadhasae.

This grantham of Sankarar was compiled by him on seeing a very old man, wasting his time to learn Grammar of a language, instead of chanting the namas of god, as explained in the story.

Sankarar's view: There is a better thing to do in aged life.

Even at the stage of realising the death bed, most of us could only bother about materialism, because of the maya effect. Gnanam is that difficult to come.

(Durga: Yaanaikku Yarram enRal Kudhiraikku Kurram enru arthamA??)

If a person like Adhi Sankarar addresses his mind as 'Moodamathae', let us imagine the condition of our minds. This addressing was made on our behalf.

All cannot read and understand his literatures like 'Viveka Choodamani', for which pundits are needed. Bhaja Govindam is for common man with the sandham he is very familiar with and in very simple lucid language. Above all, Late MS amma had sung and popularised this Baja Govindham and Vishnu Sahasranamam.

Sankarar lived only for a very short life. But his contributions will ever live and guide us all.
