Guest guest Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 >From Swami Desika of Ramanuja sampradaya: And, for the one desirous of Moksha assuredly and without delay, the only easy way is that propounded by Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita 18 / 66 in the Charama sloka viz., Prapatti. The word 'Prapatti' is from the roots 'pra' and 'pat' together meaning 'To drop down', 'To take refuge with' . Hence, Abandon or Absolute unconditional surrender with the attitude of personal helplessness at the feet of the Lord. a.k.a. SARANAGATHI. In Charama sloka (i.e.) the last verse concluding the substantial part of the Gita discourse (verses following being in the nature of Phalasruti-fruits realizable on reciting the text) Lord Krishna says "Having renounced all Dharmas, take refuge in me alone. I shall absolve you from all sins.- Do not grieve" Sarva dharmaan parithyajya maam ekam saranam vraja Aham tva sarva papebhyo mokshayishyami maa sucha http://www.srivaishnava.org/sgati/sddsv1/v01001.htm -- Also Gita Mahatmya of Varaha Purana is a kind of phala sruti, too: http://www.astrojyoti.com/bggitamahatmya.htm I posted it here some time last year. Hope this helps. Your servant, bh. Jan www.veda.harekrsna.cz (Bhakti-yoga, Vedic Encyclopedia, Vedic Library, Links) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
