charanagathi

[Guest guest]

Dear Bhgavathas,

 

PraNAms to all.

 

Like a child that is suddenly ushered into a sweet stall, not knowing

what it should ask for bewildered by the different varietyies and

colours of the sweets, we the mortals who R blessed with this birth

as human beings do not really know what to aspire for in this

valuable JANMA, being drawn and torn to pieces by the all powerful

GUNAS and IndriyAs.

 

Our Acharyas, after in depth understanding of the MAYA's influence on

us, have given us the ONLY possible path for Salvation in this Kali

Yuga - SaraNAgathi. The Lord has also assured that if we cling to His

Feet as the ONLY source of sure way to cross the ocean of SamsAra, He

will, without doubt, Bless us with MOKSHA. But, when this MOKSHA will

be accorded is not told by Him, as it is inevitable for us to exhaust

what we are destined to undergo, before we cross the ocean of SamsAra.

 

While the Lord took the whole of Gita to explain to Arjuna , in fact

to all Jeevatmas. Great Saints , AlwArs and AcharyAs have taught us

in a nutshell - Unqualified Surrender to The Lord is the ONLY way for

MOKSHA.

 

The Great Tamil Poet-Saint , THIRUVALLUVAR, has contained in the

essence of Gita in his THIRUKKURAL and that too in the very first

ten verses, that unless we cling to The Feet of The One who has no

likes and dislikes, The Lord , one cannot cross the ocean of

SamsArA.

 

The Lord, perhaps felt embarrased to ask human beings to Surrender to

Him alone and so had to give a large preamble upto 17 chapters in

Gita to declare finally in the 18th Chapter that SaraNAgathi is the

only way left for mortals to escape from the cycle of birth and

death. Where as His devotees felt free to declare to the entire

Humanity that SaranAgathi is the ONLY way to cross the Ocean of

SamsAra without any hesitation.

 

Let our Great Saints, AcharyAs and Bhagavathothams Bless us to follow

The Path of SaraNAgathi and get rid of the cycle of Jananam & Maranam

as is extolled in many works by them. Adi Sankara's,Bhaja Govindam

also points out at the same path, thus adopting the same solution as

worked out by Our EmberumAnAr, Sri Ramanuja and his followers.

Respected Bhagawathas,My understanding is that charanagathi yields

thefruits asked for in the sankalpam .Time and again ithas been

emphasised that one should not define onesrerquirement while

approaching the Lord.HE KNOWS BESTAND WILL BLESS AT THE APPROPRIATE

TIME.DROPUPADI ASKEDFOR PROTECTION OF HER MODESTY and got it.An

importantfact is that the Lord protected her from dwarakaitself

unlike as in ganjendra moksham.Ofcourse theangas of prapatti are

present in the call by Droupadi.We may also remember that Arjuna was

given theviratrupa darsan,Dridarshtra the divine darsan.and sodid

Bishma in the war and Devaki at the time of birthof Krishna but all

of them did not get mokshamimmediately or freed from human

sufferings.Prahlada was reborn as vibishana and again as

Akrurainspite of the Lord appearing

as Narasimha.-a typicalcase when prarabda karma is not totally erased

by TheLord so that His Leela can be comprehended andappropriate

lessons learnt. dasan narayanan
