Guest guest Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 upAyEshu prapattissyAt – The means of attaining salvation is to abstain from taking one’s own effort to attain salvation and be completely dependent on the Lord for it. · This assertion is the key tenet of the rAmAnuja sampradAya. The only means to attain salvation is to understand that the Lord alone is the goal and the means. Having understood this, one should have complete faith in the Lord, give up all his efforts to attain salvation, and be completely dependent on Him for salvation. · Through this assertion, we understand that the burden of releasing us from the cycle of birth and death is the Lord’s, not ours. He will release us from this cycle at the appropriate time, without placing any condition on us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
