In this Pad Vyakhya, Swami Mukundananda lovingly explains and sings the profound pad “Are man! Murakha Nipata Ganavara” composed by Shree Jagadguru Kripalu Ji Maharaj. Maharaji’s words are a compassionate call to the human mind, urging it to awaken from ignorance and embrace the path of devotion. 

Swamiji begins by unfolding the lyrical beauty of the pad, highlighting how Maharaji addresses the “murakha man” — the deluded mind — that repeatedly falls into worldly attachments. Through melodic exposition and deep commentary, Swamiji reveals how the pad teaches seekers to recognize the futility of material pursuits and redirect their focus toward Krishna, the eternal source of bliss. 

Across the discourse, Swamiji emphasizes key tattvagyan: the transient nature of worldly pleasures, the importance of surrender, and the transformative power of chanting the divine name. He illustrates these truths with relatable examples, guiding listeners to see how Maharaji’s verses are not just poetry but practical instructions for liberation. The bhajan’s melody, combined with Swamiji’s explanation, creates a devotional atmosphere that uplifts the heart and inspires seekers to cultivate unwavering bhakti. 

Why it matters: This Pad Vyakhya is a reminder that true wisdom lies in turning the mind away from illusion and toward God. By relishing Maharaji’s pad and Swamiji’s exposition, devotees gain both the sweetness of devotion and the clarity of spiritual philosophy — a combination that nurtures inner growth and leads toward liberation.
