Guest guest Posted April 17, 2000 Report Share Posted April 17, 2000 dear bhagavthas, i have a question silly as it may seem. i wish to clarify how prapatti is established by sri ramanuja on the basis of srimad bhagavad gita. why i ask this is when krsihna says in 18th cahpater that he is going to tell the secret of all secrets he says two verses: sarvadharman...... and then man man bhava mad bhakto....... a)here the first verse endorses prapatti while the second verse endorses bhakti. so which of these to is guhyad guhyatamam? b) secondly the last instruction by sri krishna in bhagavad gita to arjuna is to become a bhakta and prapatti is stated prior. so which statement is to be considered more emphatic. adiyen ramanuja dasan narasimhan ranganathan Send online invitations with Invites. http://invites.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2000 Report Share Posted April 17, 2000 Dear Sri bhagavatas, In his reply, to sri L.Kumar,Sri A.Bharat has said that The simple answer is that-both have GnAna as swarUpa as well as quality;except that for Brahma both are infinite,whereas for Atman(in his free state) only the quality is infinite. he has quoted emperumanar for the above. but emperumanar has said in one of his works that emperuman is nirguna brahmam. doesnt the above contradict? can somebody explain this?
