Worship Govinda, Worship Govinda, Worship Govinda. Oh fool! Grammar will never never save you at the time of your death. This bhajan is the first verse of a song by Adi Shankaracharya. during his famous pilgrimage to Kashi (Benares).  The fourteen disciples are said to have accompanied him.  The story goes that when he was walking along the streets of Kashi, he was pained to observe an elderly man trying hard to learn Sanskrit grammar.  At his advanced age, the remaining valuable little time of his life should have been used for worshiping God, instead of wasted on learning a language. This prompted Sri Sankara to burst out this composition, a sort of rebuke to foolish way of living. The Acharya urges the man to turn towards God and sing His glory instead of trying to learn a language. The striking part of this bhajan is Sri Shankar calling the old man a fool (muudhamathe), to awaken him from his slumber.
