DEsikO mEy DayaaLu - Humble question.

[Guest guest]

Dear friend:

 

You are right. Thanks for your very insightful questions.

 

If you read the article carefully, you will notice that a Saamyam between Vedas

and Desika Stotras was pointed out.

 

The Vedas are like a Supermarket where everything on Dharma, Artha, Kaama and

Moksha are enshrined. Specific portions are said to confer specific benefits.

Similarly, the Desika Stotras contain elements of granting different benefits.

 

It is left to the individual seeker to resort to any specific text to gain any

specific result. Some may choose other benefits and the Vedas and the Stotras

provide for every desire; As for a Prapanna, he/she will choose Moksha and

Paramaikantins may not choose to ask for even Moksham.

 

Yet, even if one does not desire anything in particular, the very Parayanam of

Vedas / Stotras in a spirit of nishkaamya karma as Bhagavad arpanam, will

inevitably result in certain auspicious benefits (in this case, Bhagavad

Preethyartham).

 

In fact, you can see in the Phala sruthi of Sri Vishnu Sahasranamam, what all

benefits would accrue and to whom by reciting the Sahasranamam.

 

You will notice that the posting on the subject also points to the fact that

Paramaikantins do not and will not propitiate any anya devatas, while referring

to Navagrahas.

 

Hope this clarifies. If you desire to continue this discussion, please write to

me in private to Ramanbil, since I do not wish to clutter the mail

box of members and make "Sri Ranga Sri" a discussion group.

sri:

Humble pranams to all Devotees.

 

adiyEn has a humble question, adiyEn hopes to get some clarification on this

matter.

 

Swami Desikan has contributed tremendously to our sampradayam,

we all already know about this, but Qs from your mail :

 

1. Is it ok for a Sri Vaishnava, who by the divine grace of the Lord is in the

prapatti marga

to seek Phalan (Apart from Kainkariyam).

 

2. Is it acceptable as per your Acharyas to:

To do something "from our side" and in exchange seek benefits from the LORD.

>Part 1: What is so great about Swami Desika’s Stotras?

>================================================================

>found incorporated a “Phala Sruthi” detailing the benefits that would accrue

>on reciting the particular Stotra.

 

The intent and goal of the PhalaStruti also found in Prabhandams and Vedas are

another issue which we can get into in a differrent thread.
