Title: SDDS Volume 1 Issue 7
Sri:
 
Dear Devotees :
 
There was a question about how one should conduct oneself
after performing Prapatthi  in Vaideekam List .
 
Back in 1996 , adiyEn , Sri S.Rengarajan and Sri Anbil Ramaswamy
started a Journal named Sri Desika Darsana Sathsangam , which
transformed in to SaraNAgathy JOurnal . This is quite different from
the Sarangathy e-list , which is active with 500 plus Members .
 
There are a lot of articles on Saranagathy and its aspects there .
The 15th AdhikAram of Srimath Rahasya Thraya Saaram(SRTS) deals
with how one should conduct oneself after Performing Prapathti .
There are 6 things one should remember .
 
Sriman Anbil Ramaswamy  had a series on SRTS in 1996 in
SDDS Journal/ Pre-Saranagathy issue . That is the closest
for a quick study of the dos and donts on Prapatthi  .
 
The URL for the Saranagathy Journal for your access is:
 
http://www.srivaishnava.org/sgati
 
I have included Sriman Anbil Swamin's article here .
There are number of other articles on how to conduct oneself
so that Prapatthi does not get nullified in many issues of
the Saranagathy Journal . Please refer to them .
 
The key things that one should remember is:
 
1. no anya dEvathA worship
2. no BhagavathApachAram .

P.S : one of these days , adiyEn hopes to restart the Saranagathy Journal .
