questions about saranagathi

[Guest guest]

Respected members,

This is regarding questions by Sri

kk with respect to saranagathi.

 

Q1.Why is it that even after knowing about

saranagathi,one does not perform the same?.

 

A:By the term "Knowing",if you mean only intellectual

understanding,then answer is that the seriousness to

do saranagathi is absent in such an individual because

he has not practically felt the need to do the same.

Or if the term "Knowing" means intellectual

understanding and also the feeling of fitness only for

performing saranagathi,then in this case if the

individual does not perform saranagathi,then it may be

due to the rebellious attitude of the individual as a

result of his unhealthy ego or the individual has a

foolish bent of mind or he is simply not interested as

he is not a seeker in the true sense.

 

Q2.Why some don't understand the concept of

saranagathi?.

A:The simplest answer i can give is that these persons

are not yet ready to recieve the knowledge of

saranagathi and the problem is subjective if all other

conditions like source of knowledge and circumstances

for doing saranagathi are good and yet the individual

fails to understand the concept of the same.

 

Q3.what are the solutions for the indiscipline

displayed during practising of saranagathi?.

A.This is regarding the life of a prappana or the

conduct of a person in his life after doing prappati.

There are topics regarding the same in almost all

books dealing with saranagathi ex:- Visitaadvaita by

A.V.Raghavan(TTD publications),Saranagati deepika by

vedanta desika etc.

Now,if a prappana commits a mistake in

ignorance,then the lord out of his infinite mercy and

love for

the prappana,excuses him and rectifies him so that

such mistakes don't repeat from that individual.

If mistakes are committed knowingly and

deliberatley,then the individual is punished by the

lord and quickly reformed by lord himself so that the

prappana is once again on the right track with the

right attitude.

As the lord is the person who is the essence of all

the words as he is the sarva antaryamin,a prappana

praying to devas like surya,agni etc during his

obligatory duties with the knowledge mentioned above

does not incur sin as he is praying the lord sriman

narayana himself through the dieties like surya who

are his modes.A prappana though exclusively devoted to

Sri Hari,who is omnipresent,omnipotent and omniscient

shows respect to other gods as they all belong to the

lord as the prappana himself and also ensouled by the

lord.
