Dear Sri Badri,

 

When we surrender to Him, it is not just saying, I am falling at your

feet, please save me. Here we have to do a lot of tyAgams viz.,

kartrutva tyAgam, mamata tyAgam and phala tyAgam. The first one is that

we should not think that doing saraNAgati is "our" karma and hence we do

it, the second one is that we should not think that "we" are doing do

it. It is only emberumAn who is making us do it. The third one is that

we should not think that the fruit of the saraNAgati is for "us" to

enjoy. This is what Sri KrishNa the GeethAchAryan said in Bhagavadh

Gita, " Sarva dharmAn parityagya". The dharmam here refers to these

kartrutvam, mamata and phalam.

 

Now our AzhwArs and AchAryAs have brilliantly explained the answer to

your question as to how our earlier misdeeds are gotten rid off when

we do saraNAgati.

 

1. Sri Poigai AzhwAr's says about this in his pAsuram " KunRanaya

kuRRam seiyyinum guNam koLLum, inRu mudhalAga en nenjE.." in Mudhal

ThiruvandhAdhi. Here he says that after doing saraNAgati to

emberuman with utmost sincerety realising the sEshatva nature of our

swaroopam, emberumAn treats all our sins ( accumulated as tall as a

mountain) as bhOgyam for Him.

 

2. Sri AruLALap perumAL emberumAnAr in his GnyAnasAram says that

emberumAn takes all the sins of the jeevAthmA who has surrendered to

Him with utmost liking, just like the cow licks the dirt and dust

from the body of the new born calf to make it clean.

 

3. Sri DEsikar in his dAyA sathakam in the slokam (I think slokam no.

91), "authsukhya poorvam" reitrates that emberumAn takes all the sins

of His adiyavar who surrenders to Him, of course after understanding

the true nature of the AtmA (sEshatvam), with pleasure and grants

them the mOksham.

 

The above points are also very much emphasized by Sri PiLLai

lOKAchAryar in his greates work Sri vachana bhooshaNam also. AdiyEn

don't remember the number of the sUtrams.

 

There may be many more references to this and real scholars in the

list can throw some light on it. Also we had this discussion earlier

in the list and I request you to kindly go thro' the archives of the

bhakti list for more information.

Hello ,

A person enjoys in this world the result of Karma

accmulated in the previous birth.He goes through

sufferings in this life due to the bad karma

accumulated in the preious birth.Does it mean that

whatever happens in this life is due to the karma

accumulated in the previous one.Then how does

surrendering himself to te almighty help him to get

rid of his suffering that he is destined to go through

due to his bad karma

Srinivasa Dasan

Badri
