A readworthy commentary on Sree Subrahmanya Bhujangam which is a hymn of 33 verses in praise of Lord Karthikeya. The book provides a verse-by-verse meaning of the slokas and commentary wherever necessary. The lucid style of presentation makes the book relevant to the present day context.

Reflections on Bhaja Govindam of Jagadguru Sankaracharya: by M Bhimasen Rao. Publisher: Sri M Bhimasen Rao, 2nd Military lines, Berhampur (Ganjam) 760 001. Pp. 171. Price: Rs.200.

The writings of Sri Sankaracharya are the epitome of Vedantic wisdom. Through them the non-dualistic aspect of Hindu philosophy became acceptable to all. Bhaja Govindam is a masterpiece of the work of the Jagadguru and stands as a monumental work of practical Vedanta. The perceptive reflections of the author on the verses of the Bhaja Govindam act as a valuable guide for understanding the profound wisdom contained in the verses.

A book that highlights the importance of the ‘Bhakti Marga’ as a short-cut to God!
