This book, Garland of Pearls of Wisdom, is a commentary on the text Prashnottara-ratna-mālikā by the great saint and scholar of Advaita Vedanta, Adi Shankaracharya. Though this text is rarely spoken of, it is a treasure trove of wisdom, presenting the most fundamental principles on life, dharma and the spiritual quest. Like any other work of Adi Shankaracharya, this too is profound, beautiful, and enlightening.
While the text is set in poetry in Sanskrit, it conveys the various principles and instructions in the simplest of styles – Question-Answers. Each question-answer pair offers insightful instructions to the seeker for his/her spiritual pursuit with great directness and clarity.
Perhaps the one thing that stands out as you go through this text is the simplicity with which the Acharya has dealt with the various ideas and principles essential for life and spirituality.
For each question and answer, this book offers meaning for each of the words, and also a commentary to facilitate deeper reflection and introspection on the ideas presented by Adi Shankaracharya.
Vedanta provides the ultimate answers regarding our real nature, this life and the world we are in, and thus guides us in leading a life of peace and happiness.

Vedanta provides the ultimate answers regarding our real nature, this life and the world we are in, and thus guides us in leading a life of peace and happiness. Bhaja Govindam reveals the subtle and profound message of Vedanta (the wisdom of the Upanishads) in a simple, direct and concise manner, and that too through exquisite poetry. Importantly, it presents practical ways to apply Vedanta to daily life, cutting through the numerous terms and concepts in spirituality.
For most people, Bhaja Govindam – authored by Adi Shankaracharya – is just a beautiful song, ever filling their hearts with devotion towards Lord Krishna. But, in reality, every verse presents us with an understanding of life and shows us how to lead a life that is filled with peace and happiness, and finally leading us to fulfilment.
Bhaja Govindam shows us how we suffer in life because of the wrong perceptions (delusions) regarding ourselves and life in this world. That is why this text is formally referred to as Moha-mudgaraḥ (literally meaning: ‘the hammer that destroys delusion’). It helps us remove the wrong perceptions so that we can be free from suffering and be endowed with ever-lasting happiness.
This book is a translation and commentary (in English) on Bhaja Govindam and offers quotes from other texts, including Bhagavad Gita, Vivekachoodamani, Srimad Bhagavatam and Upanishads. Thus, this book becomes a comprehensive guide for any spiritual seeker, even for those who are not familiar with the various concepts of Vedanta.
