Meaning:

O mind, chant, sing and worship incessantly The Divine Name of Lord Sri Govinda, Who is The Divine Cowherd as HIS Divine Name is The Royal Road. O foolish mind, chant The Name of The Supreme Lord Sri Govinda, for when you are at the door of death, the rules of grammar – which you are trying to master will be of no avail. Chanting The Name of Lord Sri Govinda, will save you from being born again and again, dying over and over and over again, getting into a mother’s womb over and over again, as it is great suffering in itself. This Road will protect you from the cycle of births and deaths. This song was originally composed by Sri Adi Shankaracharya – The Great Saint who called upon the priests, to give up thier ritual methods of prayer (which they were doing mechanically without thinking of God) and to start meditating upon the name of The Supreme Almighty God.
