[Guest guest]

22) yOgyathaa baahulyam apEkshitham bhakthi-yOgAya ,

janma-dhee-sakthi-mukhAstE, taTaiva kaala vilamBa-kshamathvam

 

One needs of a lot of qualifications for pursuing Bhakthi yOgam :

birth in a high kulam , power of knowledge , sakthi (mental strength) ,

balam ( physical strength ).Bhakthi yOgam does not yield the result

quickly ; it has a lot of built in dealy .

 

23) mOkshArTam Prapatthi: laghutaraa ,Saasthravihithaa ,

dharmasTEyaisccha praSasthA , taTEthihAsa purANasmruthyAdhishu

nirdarsithaa cha

 

Prapatthi is easy to practise.It is indeed prescribed by the Saasthraas.

The great AchAryAs , Sages have favored it. It has been chosen for

illustration in many PurAnams and the two IthihAsams.

 

24) angAni yOgyathAmsE pancha , tEshu mahA viswaasa: pradhAna sTaanE.

 

Prapatthi has 5 limbs( Parts) ; Among the five Mahaa ViswAsam ( Great Trust

,

Unswerving Faith in BhagavAn as the Protector ) is the most important.

 

25) yEsha yEva Sankhaa panchaka nivartanAya bhavEth

 

MahA Viswaasam has the power to chase the five doubts about Prapatthi .

 

26) nAma sankeerthana -dhvayOcchAraNa -Bhagavath-paricharaNa -

Bhagavath-sannidhi-pradakshiNa-namaskArAdhaya: na prathyakshOpAyA:

mukthayE

 

Naama sankeerthanam , recitation of dhvayam , japam, pradhakshiNam at

the temple,namaskaraNam are laudable but they do not directly help to gain

Moksham .To say that they do is an exaggerated statement .

 

27) yEthA; kriyA: Sriya:Pathim preeNayanthy, tEna karthAram sO BhagavAnEva

prapatthi-kriyAyAm prErayathi .

 

All of the above acts/observances pleases the Lord and that in turn results

in

Him nudging the chEtanan to seek a sadAchAryan and complete Prapatthi

anushtAnam through him .

 

28) prayathyanushtEya manthrEshu na sarvE adhikurvanthy taantrikENa vai

sarvOpajeevanAya bhavathy Prapatthi:

 

All the Prapatthi mantrams are not appropriate to all chEtanams . There is

no negative effect because of that . Taantrika manthrams are applicable

for some and Vaidhika Mantrams applicable to the others .The end result is

still the same regarding the gaining the full fruits of Prapatthi .

 

29) Brahmavidhyaa: vividhaa: BhagavathO vividhaguNEshu tatthadhupayukthEshu

anurAga-dhyAna-samAdhi roopENa prayOjyA bhavanthy.

 

All Brahma VidhyAs like Sadh Vidhyaa are based on reaching layam ( deep

samAdhi)

by focusing on one of the limitless auspcious guNams of the Lord .

 

30) nyAsa Vidhyaa chaanyaa madhvAdhi-vidhyaa tulyaa svAtantryENa

mOkshOpAya; syAth .

 

Nyaasa Vidhyai is one such Brahma Vidhyai .It is like other Brahma Vidhyais

such as Madhu Vidhyaa, dahara vidhyaa , Sadh vidhya et al.Nyaasa Vidhyai can

operate as a direct means for Moksham for the practioners.

 

31) vidhyAntharANi yaavajjeevamanushtEyaani nyAsasthu sakrudhEva

 

The difference however is all VidhyAs other than Nyaasa Vidhyai have to be

observed until the last second of one's life.In contrast to all other

Brahma

Vidhyais , Nyaasa Vidhyai has to be observed only once.

 

32) sa thu svatantrOpAya: panchAnga samyutha:, yaTaa BhakthirashtAnga

sahitha:

 

NyAsa Vidhyai is self-complete , independent means for Moksha siddhi.

It has five angams whereas Bhakthi yOgam has seven angams (constituent

parts) .
