Every man is born with 3 debts and the clearence of the debts is his main duty. 1. Debt to the Rishis THis is cleared by doing Vedaadhyayanam and its preservation. 2. Debt to the Devathaas This is cleared by doing Yagnyams in general and Soma Yaagam in particular. 3. Debt to the Pitrus This is cleared by begetting a GOOD SON or sadputran. All karmaas ( nithya / naimiththika ) in life in one way or the other are for the clearence of the above 3 debts only. Ex: Sandhyaavandam involves preservation of the vedaas and fall under debt 1.Agnihotram falls under debt 2 etc., Kindly correct me if my memory has failed me.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2002 Report Share Posted January 30, 2002 It is stated in the Srimad Bhagavatam(11.5.41) that: devarsi-bhutapta-nrnam pitrnam na kinkaro nayam rni ca rajan sarvatmana yah saranam saranyam gato mukundam parihrtya kartam "Anyone who has taken shelter of the lotus feet of Mukunda, the giver of liberation, giving up all kinds of obligation, and has taken to the path in all seriousness, owes neither duties nor obligations to the demigods, sages, general living entities, family members, humankind or forefathers." Such obligations are automatically fulfilled by performance of devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The above is taken from part of a purport to Bhagavad Gita chapter 1 text 41 of His Divine Grace Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. --- Vijayaraghavan Bashyam <vijayaraghavanb wrote: > > Sri Mattapalli Naatham Pranathosmi Nithyam Namaha > > KIND ATTENTION : srkuntimaddi > > Dear Sir, > > The following is a memory of the duties to be > performed by a man, heard during one of the many > upanyasams of Vaikuntha Vaasi Salakshana Ghanapaati > Vedaartha Visaaradha Sri U.Ve Mukkur Lakshmi > Narasimhachariyar Swamy. > > Every man is born with 3 debts and the clearence of > the debts is his main duty. > > 1.
