[a question ]

[Guest guest]

Dear Shree Ranganathan Narasimhan,

 

In the 18th chapter of Bhagavat Geeta, the order of the verses is

not as you have mentioned. First is "Manmana Bhava" sloka and then

is "SarvaDharman Parityajya". Let me tell you how Shree Raamaanuja

establishes Prapathi by Geeta. There are two types of Prapathi

Type 1: Saddwaaraka Prapathi :Here the Jeeva is adopting prapthi

as a means to get his sins removed so that the obstacles are

removed to start Bhakthi. Here Prapathi is not a direct means

on the other hand makes the Jeeva to start Bhakti and then

reach Moksha.

Type 2: Addwaaraka Prapathi :Here the Jeeva adopts Prapathi as

direct means to reach Moksha.

 

Therefore prapthi is of these two types.

Bhagavat Geetha talks about both these two types of prapthi.

Type 2 prapathi is the secret of all secrets (Guhyaad Guhyatamam)

because it is for those who have Shreemath Bhagavat Raamaanuja

association. For futher details and doubts/questions please

write to me.

M.S.HARI Raamaanuja Daasan

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.
