Guest guest Posted January 4, 1996 Report Share Posted January 4, 1996 Injimedu wanted to know about Prapatti Yogam: Prapatti Yogam is described in the Ahirbhunhya Samhita of the Pancharatra Agama (Sandilya is the author). Vaishnavas attach great importance to this Agama. There are 5 angas in Prapatti and the sixth is called the angi. Nyasa vidya (one of the 32 vidyas) is also described in the Brahma Sutras of Badarayana. The 5 angas are: (1) Anukulyasya Sankalpa (To act according to what pleases the Lord). (2) Praatikulyasya varjanam ( (1) stated in a negative way. i,e. to avoid any action that would displease the Lord) (3) Maha Vishwasam (Unflinching faith in the Lord - Sriman Narayana) (4) Goptrutva varanam (Inviting the Lord as the Upaya) (5) Karpanya (Humility) and (6) Atma Nikshepa ( surrendering your will to the divine will). This is elaborated by Swami Vedanta Desika in His karika called Nyasa Dasakam and also in "Adaikalapatthu." In prapatti yogam Sriman Narayana is the tattvam, upayam(hitam) and also upeyam (purushartham). Recently I delivered a talk at one of the Sai Retreats on Saranagathy. If there is enough interest may be I can post that for all of your info. Vijayaraghavan Srinivasan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
