Dear sri Madhavakannan,

 

Thanks for this article. It sure helps me focus on looking at myself in the

mirror, self criticism and correction.

Swamy Deshikan Thiruvadigale Sharanam !!!

 

RigvEda, Yajur(Krishna and Shukla), Sama, Grantha (Ramayana, Bhagavad

vishaya, SribhAshya...), Paduka Sahasra pArAyaNam continued well into the

fourth day today.

 

After the thiruvArAdhanam, Srimad paramahamsEtyAdi Parakala Swamy arrived at

the ashramam. H.H was recieved with full honours. H.H presented Sri Lakshmi

Hayagrivar's anugraham to Srimad Andavan.

Srimad Parakala Matham Swamy was presented with Sri Venugopalan's anugraham.

It was a divine experience to see both the acharyas blessing the bhAgavatha

goshti at the ashramam.

Sriman Madhavakkannan

 

Thank you for a wonderful summary.

 

This one is for daily reading.

 

Adiyen, however is little confused by the following

statement:

-----------------

(5) The only heinous and unpardonable sins which will

nullify the

effects of

Prapatti are:

 

(b) Adherence to deities other than Bhagavan.

------------------

Why would this be a sin?

 

Rudranam Sankaras c'asmi

--Gita 10.23

Certainly it is not efficient. But sin?

May be the poor athma is not ready for prappatti

but does it become sin?

Is it not one's inability to distinguish

and completely contemplate on "purushothama".

 

Furthermore, Sriman Narayana out of infinite

compassion for those of who are fickle

minded and not steadfast, enunciates

the results of worshipping other deities

in Gita 7.20-7.23.

 

Surely, not being singularly contemplative

of Sriman Narayana and not saturating

ones thoughts with Sriman Narayana

is contradictory to "prappatti".

 

But please help me understand why

worship would be prohibited or become sin?

Who is the looser? One who is distracted

or?

 

Thank you
