Thank you for these links. Sanskrit Documents also has a text version here: https://sanskritdocuments.org/doc_vishhnu/bhajagovindam.html

I, however like Ramesh-swamin’s posts. He gives it to us in small chunks of 3 slokas in text format. It is an easy matter to create your own word or text document from his posts. It is easy to dedicate 30 minutes to 3 slokas per day. I expect, at the end of 2 weeks, when he is done with the entire set, I would be able to recite it from memory…,   So thank you Ramesh-swamin for your posts.

Regards
Raja Srinivasan

Sanskrit documents versions bristle with errors so I’d be wary of anything put up by them.

Respected Shri Gopalan,

That's a very harsh thing to say about a website where tens of volunteers have given hundreds of hours of their time to make these documents available to one and all. They are always looking for volunteers to proofread and make it error-free. 

I have used many of the documents on the Sanskrit Documents site and found them to be free of errors. I can vouch for the quality of the documents. 

A few kind words to our friends is not too much to ask.

Thanks.

Yes, Himanshujii,  the volunteers do deserve credit, there can be no doubt about it. I only wish the proof readers brought the required rigour to their task. Even in a short document like bhaja govindam I am put off by this typo in the very first verse: डुकृङ्करणे for डुकृञ् करणे। How is the lay reader to guard himself against something which he believes to be correct, but is not?

Raja Srinivasan ji,

Translations and commentaries are really important for understanding the Bhagavad Gita, just like the different links shared for Bhaja Govindam serve a similar purpose.
