Atha Vairagyashatakam

Bhartrihari occupies a prominent place among the ancient poets of Sanskrit literature. He belonged to the eminent tradition of Valmiki, Vyasa, and Kalidasa, the greatest poet and dramatist of Sanskrit literature. The King turned hermit and a great poet, Bhartrihari, in Vairagyashatakam, leads us onto the path of inner peace and equilibrium. His advice is practical, easy to follow and result oriented. Long before the modern man discovered a health spa in Rishikesh or on the banks of the Ganges or in God's own country, Kerala, Bhartrihari laid down in Vairagyashatakam, the same approach to health and happiness.
