He was one of India's most eminent philosophers and theologians, renowned for consolidating the non-dualistic philosophy of Advaita Vedanta. This school of thought upholds the vision of the oneness of existence, transcending the illusion of duality, plurality, and differentiation. Shankara laid the philosophical foundations that, over time, came to be recognized as the fundamental principles of Hinduism and continue to influence contemporary Indian thought.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOsho chose to speak on this particular work of Shankara because of its unique character. In Bhaj Govindam, Shankara emphasizes both devotion (bhakti) and knowledge (jnana), giving equal importance to each rather than placing one above the other. Osho describes Shankara as an extraordinary master who attained the highest peak of knowledge and harmoniously united it with profound devotion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBhaj Govindam is one of Shankara's most celebrated devotional hymns. It is perhaps his best-known and most widely cherished composition, and it continues to be sung throughout India to this day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOsho explains the significance of Bhaj Govindamin these words:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Among all the works of Shankara, none is more valuable than Bhaj Govindam. Essentially, Shankara is a philosopher. Yet he knows that the Divine cannot be attained through thinking and logical argument. The path to the Divine passes through the heart, not through the mind.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Osho","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":59833258737950,"sku":"9789371004367","price":450.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":59833258770718,"sku":"9789371006729","price":750.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1251\/0363\/files\/9371004363.MAIN.jpg?v=1787639917","url":"https:\/\/www.mlbd.in\/products\/bhaj-govindam-discourses-on-adi-shankaracharya-by-osho-by-osho-9789371004367-9371004363-9789371006729-9371006722","provider":"Motilal Banarsidass Publishing House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
