Guest guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Sri: Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama: Bhattar wanted to bring out the true characteristic of a prapanna. So, he asked a great bhAgavata "Everyone says you are a true prapanna. Please explain the lakshaNa of a prapanna". The bhAgavata replied "Imagine a person walking all alone in the middle of a night in a lonely path in a forest. There are lots of wild animals surrounding him. The night is so dark he cannot see anything ahead of him. A heavy rain mixed with thunder is occuring and lightning is blinding his eyes. Even in that status, if the person does not even recite the Lord's name for protection, that is the lakshaNam of a prapanna".
