Guest guest Posted September 21, 1995 Report Share Posted September 21, 1995 as per vedanta deskika's rahasya traya sara, visit to kshetras (certain) will lead to moksha but not a sufficient means for moksha. according to vedanta desika, there are two methods for moksha 1) bhakti yoga 2) prapatti these are the only two ways for moksha. Note that tenkalai sect does not differ in the view that prapatti is a sufficient means for moksha but it only maintains that, it is not appropriate for a jeeva to perform prapatti as an act - it is something to be understood that we are surrendered souls to sriman narayana and a formal initiation is not needed. This brings an interesting interpretation. of the rahasya - in the charama sloka of bhagawadgita - 18 - 66. the word sharanam vraja - in interpreted by tenkalai sect as "avagaccha" ie. "to know (that you are surrendered soul)". the vadagalai sect takes that word "vraja" in both the grammatical verb root meanings - ie to " to go" - vraj gathau, and vraj bodhane (I think) - which means knowing. so vadagalai insists on actual formal "karmic" performance of prapatti in addition to mental knowing. this should clarify that tenkalai and vadagalai views are not diametrically opposite. by the way the the thirunakshatram of "Adivan Satagopa Yateendra maha desikan" the first acharya of ahobilam is on oct 4th, 1995. incidentally, pillai lokacharya and adivan satagopa yateendra maha desikan's previous acharya had a common acharya - Request to sadagopan : If you have the article on our ahobilam first acharya on computer, please post it on this net. krishna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
