Alice Coltrane - Bhaja Govindam
текст песни

Once, living in porridge, Shankara walked along the street and noticed an old man who, sitting under a tree, carefully studied Sanskrit grammar. Shankara suddenly imbued with a strong pity for this old man. “What a terrible situation! - thought Shankara. - He has been spending his last years on such nonsense! ” In the mood of sympathy, he turned to the old man and tried to reason him. Then Shankara thought that most people were not in the best position. This thought was so struck by Shankar that poetry was born in his head: Bhaja Govindam, bhaja govindam ... Nahi nahi Rakshaty Dushkrinkaranna! ... (sing the names of Govinda! ... No rules of grammar will save you at the time of death!) So, improvising, Shankara, turning to The old man said twelve verses.
