Guest guest Posted November 13, 2000 Report Share Posted November 13, 2000 With complete love and total surrender to Lotus feet of my a:charya, Sundara Kanda continues with His grace. Another simple solution given to us by Mother Seetha is when she responds to Ravana. Mother says, " Though I have the capacity to destroy you, I will not do the same. You have done unprescribed things and you cannot find any one reason not to get burnt to ashes. But since I am in 'tapas' I will not turn you to ashes. Here Mom shows that though we might have the capabilities to save ourselves, we should have extreme confidence in Bhagavan who will in turn protect us. " patim visva sya:tme:svaram " Vedam did not say that Jeeva should save and protect himself. Mother Seetha mentions that she is in deep 'tapas'. Having extreme confidence in Bhagavan that he is our ultimate saviour, and not making attempts on our own to protect ourselves is 'tapas'. 'nya:sam' is 'tapas'. Leaving the onus of saving ourselves on Bhagavan is nya:sam. This is the " Law of Sarana:gathi " . Seethamma clearly shows what saranagathi means. .... to be continued ... adiyen Raghu Ramanuja Dasa This is a translation of Sri Sundara Kanda Tattva Deepika authored by Sri U. Ve.
