I am having difficulty in understanding the above. It does not seem correct to me that the Lord places some conditions before granting us liberation, or that He does not grant liberation to people who do not perform saraNaagati. Somehow I believe that He has infinite Kindness and that he will grant us liberation if we have bhakti towards him, irrespective of whether we do a particular thing or not. It is really a surprise to me that Srimad Rahasayatrasaram says that 'He will not grant liberation if you do not do this etc..'. Of course, I am not very learned in these areas. It would definitely help me if I could get some explanations regarding this. Varadhan Note: I know that this is a sensitive area, and I wish to state that I do not want to start an argument that takes us away from the main issue here. If you happen to think that my post is insulting Sri Vedanta Desikar,please accept my apologies. That is not my intention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
