Some more Definiitons of SaraNAgathy/NyAsam: Part II

[Guest guest]

1) BhUshNu: = one who wishes to reach a higher

spiritual plateau leading to Moksham

through performance of Bhakthi or

Prapatthi yOgam.

 

2) Mukukshu: One who desires ( longs for) Moksham

 

3) Desikan = AchAryan , Spiritual perceptor

 

4) SampradhAyam = SampradheeyathE ithi SampradhAyam.

That which is blessed by a SadAchAryan

to a sishyan through KaalakshEpams

and for making the sishyan " well grounded

in the traditional knowledge ".

 

 

5) Satthaa = Svaroopam , innate nature

 

6) UpAyaa = Means , the path , Route ; Bhakthi and Prapatthi

are independent alternative routes ( UpAyams).

 

7) UpEya= The End goal , which is the same (Moksham) even if

one chooses Bhakthi or Prapatthi yOgam as the means.

 

8) NyAsa Vidhyaa = one of the 32 Brahma Vidhyaas

 

9) Sankhaa Panchakam = The Five doubts that plague the mind of

the Prapannan that will affect the fulfilment of Prapatthi due to

lack of Mahaa ViswAsam . Here are the five doubys that assail one :

 

9.1: We perform Prapatthi , an easy to do , nontime consuming act

to gain thegreatest of fruits ( Moksha Sukham). We not only perform

Prappathi in a small dimension of time but also do it only once.

Can this observance done once in a trice ( short duration of time)

really secure the greatest of PurushArTams (viz.,) Moksham .

 

9.2: By our nature , we are inclined to trespass Bhagavath Saasthrams

and accumulate mountains of sins. These offenses must provoke

the anger of the Lord . Will the all powerful Lord condone all these

trespasses and look away from the consequent bundles of sins ?

 

9.3: Even after Prapatthi , we consciously committ many trespasses of

Bhagavath Saasthrams . Will the Lord or Can the Lord ignore them

and forgive us ?

 

9.4: I know that I am bent over with the magnituide of my sins , In contrast

to me are others with noble conducts , who also desire to perform

Prapatthi to gian Moksham . How Can I be granted the same grand

reward of Moksham on a par with those noble souls ?

 

9.5 : The performance of Prapatthi in contrast to the observance of

Bhakthi yOgam is said to yield Moksham either instantaneously

(AarTa Prapannan) or at the end of this janmam ( Dhruptha Prapannan).

How could this happen ? Bhakthi Yogam gains Moksham after many

births and considerable delays. How could the fruits of Prapathi can

be realized within one's own life time ?

 

These are FIVE lingering Questions in the mind of a Prapannan, which

would destroy his/her Prapatthi due to lack of Mahaa ViswAsam in our Lord.

These doubts has to be dispelled thru the development of Mahaa ViswAsam

( unshakable faith) based on following facts: (1) The most merciful Mahaa

Lakshmi's proximity to the Lord to appeal on our behalf to Her Lord

(2) the Limitless kindness and oudhAryam ( generosity ) of the Lord ,

whose Sanklapam ( will) can not be questioned and as a result of which

He blesses us with Moksham in return fr a pretext (vyAjam ) of a ritual

( Prapatthi anushtAanam).We are very dear to Sriman Narayanan ,

particularly after our Prapatthi .
