Guest guest Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 Shrimathye Nigamaantha Mahaa Deshikaaya Namaha Maayanai mannu vada madurai maindhanai thooya peru neer yamunaithuraivanai aayar kulathinil thoandrum anivilakkai thaayaikkudal vilakkam seidha daamodaranai thooyomaai vandhu naam thoomalar thoovithozhudhu vaayinaal paadi manaththinaal sindikka poaya pizhaiyum pugudharuvaan ninnanavum theeyinil doosaagum cheppaelor embaavaai Nachiyar is categorical that if we act according to her instructions in this paasuram, all our sins committed earlier and those that we are to commit - read those that we are to commit unintentionally - will become like dust if put in the fire. Hence, if you consider this to be unintentional, it is already forgiven. If you think there is an element of chance that it could have been intentional(pardon me for saying such a thing), pl. act according to this paasuram to cleanse yourself of the sin. The inner meaning is also that this cleansing of sins through this paasuram suggests prapatti because of the word "thooyomaai". Hence, this is a chance for you to perform prapatti if you have already not had it done for yourself. Excuse me if I have hurt your feelings.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 SRI: Dear Sri Surender Your repentance and feeling bad for having committed unknowingly itself cleanses your paapam. read this below [from Srimad Rahasyathraya saram of Swamy Desikan- for post -Prapatti period- regarding atonement of sins]- written in english by Sri Anbil Ramaswamy Swamin, USA]: That should respond to your query. Regards Namo Narayana dAsan ************ After Prapatti, a Prapanna will not indulge in committing any sins (1) Should he commit any without intention, such sins will not accrue to him (2) Sins knowingly and deliberately committed can be neutralized by atonement -prayaschitta prapatti (not for the purpose of Moksha) (3) Should one indulge in sins deliberately and does not atone, minor punishments will be imposed on him like becoming blind, lame etc., or disobedience by wife, children etc. In such an event also the Prapanna would not be denied Moksha because his papas will be negatived by atonement or suffering punishment as aforesaid. (4) Even major sins except what is stated in (5) below will be excused by the Lord by inflicting a light punishment in exercise of his patience, love and compassion towards the Prapanna. (5) The only heinous and unpardonable sins which will nullify the effects of Prapatti are: (a) Disrespect to Bhagavatas and Acharyas and (b) Adherence to deities other than Bhagavan. (6) Though the means and Phala of Moksha are identical as between a Prapanna and the great Nityas and Muktas like PARASARA,VYASA,SRI NATHAMUNI and others, the Prapanna should not arrogate himself by equating himself with these extraordinary luminaries since they are far superior on account of their birth, character, knowledge, discipline etc which are not comparable to those of the Prapanna. (7) THE PRAPANNA SHOULD NOT DISCRIMINATE ANY ONE AS INFERIOR ON ACCOUNT OF THE LATTER'S CASTE, CREED, SEX OR OTHER DIFFERENCES (8) The Apacharas committed towards Bhagavatas can also be expiated but Only by seeking the forgiveness of the same Bhagavatas (9) A SUBTLE POINT TO NOTE IN THIS CONNECTION IS THAT IF A PRAPANNA PRAYS AT THE TIME OF DOING PRAPATTI FORGIVENESS OF SINS HE MIGHT COMMIT KNOWINGLY OR UNKNOWINGLY IN THE POST-PRAPATTI PERIOD, THE LORD WOULD TAKE CARE TO GUARD HIM AGAINST HIS COMMITTING SUCH SINS ALSO. (10) The Post-Prapatti sins get exculpated thus:- 1/4th by not repeating such sins; 1/4th by feeling repentant; ¼ th by efforts to perform atonement (Prayaschitta) and the balance 1/4th by actually performing the Prayaschitta. Thus, for the Prapanna, there is no consignment to hell or the danger of rebirth under any circumstances. , "s_chellappa" <s_chellappa> wrote: > Adiyen had the misfortune of eating non-veg by mistake.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 Respected Sir: since you are already doing/done the Sandya you have anyway knowingly, or unknowingly recognised your problem and also asked for forgivness to the Sun to Burn out these lapses....chapter closed..please carry on as if you are new born..another day is born..If you read your the beginning of your sentence ".Adiyan had" i.e had denotes the past. Today right now as you are reading this mail it is the present. There is no relevance of privilege being lost or found. The fact that you are mentally inclined to do the Sandhya and recite the Pasurams itself is a big privilege to all of us devoutees - it speak volumes of your sincerity Om tat sat Tat tvam asi "s_chellappa" <s_chellappa@yah oo.com> cc: Eating non-veg by mistake 09/30/03 05:55 AM Adiyen had the misfortune of eating non-veg by mistake. I know I've sinned. I do sandhyavandanam and recite some pasurams everyday; Can I continue. I feel I've lost the privilege of being able to do that. Your kind response will be beneficial.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 Lord Krishna says in Bhagavad gita 9.30, 31 Even if one commits the most abomible action if he is engaged in devotional service he is to be considered saintly because he is properly situated in his determintion. He quickly becomes righteous and attains lasting peace. O son of Kunti, declare it boldly that my devotee never perishes. Actually for the vaishnavas the Lords service can purify all the sins, but should not be commited consciously. Nrisimha Purana bhagavati ca harAv ananya cetA bhrSha-malino 'pi virAjate manuShyah na hi ShaSha-kalusha-cchabiH kadAcit timira-parAbhavatAm upaiti candraH If one is fully engaged in devotional service of the Lord even if one is sometimes found engaged in abomible activities shoudl be considered to be like the spots that resemble the mark of a rabbit at the moon. This spots dont disturb the moonlight. kauteya pratijAnIhi na me bhaktaH praNashyati.... Krishnas devotee never perishes... This is my humble comment Adiyen Damana Krishna dasan --- s_chellappa <s_chellappa wrote: > Adiyen had the misfortune of eating non-veg by > mistake. I know I've > sinned.
