SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest Srivaishnavas, Ok. I can somewhat agree with you, Alavandhar. ? Lord says- Anjali has got such greatness. However, can everything be possible with that? Only with jnAnam [knowledge] can one attain mOksham. Alavandhar responds for that: One who performs Anjali, has Your lotus feet in his mind and contemplates on the same- while performing. Even that jnAnam comes through self surrender at Your feet alone. Even that Anjali is also not required as You Yourself blessed those beings right from the blade of grass to everyone in the city of Ayodhya to Your world. For blessing the same, one should have jnAnam about Your Supremacy and has love and devotion for Your red lotus feet. udheerna samsaara davaa susukshaNeem kshaNEna nirvaapya paraam cha nirvrthim prayacchati tvaccharaNaaruNaambhuja tvaya anuraaga amrutha sindhu seekara: [29] Even a minutest drop from the nectar ocean of dayaa [compassion] from the most beautiful red lotus flower of Your two divine feet itself is enough to burn and extinguish the forest blazing fire of this scorching samsaaric affliction and grants immense Absolute Bliss. For long time- one should sit and meditate on the lovely form uninterruptedly. It is not that bhakti [devotion] alone can grant mOksham. What did Sisupala do? The words, the action, the body- were all aimed against You and were scolding You. At the end, probably he would have some love for You and hence he was also granted Moksham. Praayacchithaani asEshaaNi thapa: karmaathmakaani vai: Yaani thEshaam asEshaaNaam krishNAnusmaraNam param? sravaNam keerthanam VishNO : smaraNam paadha sevanam I archanam vandanam daasyam sakhyam aathma nivedanam II Sri LeelA Sukhar went on to state the fruits of such a dhruva smrithi (unceasing remembrance of the Lord ) attained thru naama sankeerthanam this way: prEmadham cha mE kaamadham cha mE vEdanam cha mE vaibhavam cha mE I jeevanam cha mE jeevitham cha mE dheyvatham cha mE Deva naaparam II Oh Deva Deva! You are the One, who blesses me with affection (love); You are the One, who fulfils my ishta kaamams (wish -fulfiller); You are the One, who gives me the true knowledge; You alone are my entire wealth; You are my prANa [life force]; You are my living days; except You , there is no other Supreme Being for me; Like this Anjali, even the naama sangeertthanam [utterance of divine names] grants one higher state of joy and bliss and takes one to the path of Saranagathi. Thus Alavandhar declatred his firmness of his mind and declared that his self surrender, though small effort, He can grant the highest fruit of Samsaara nivrtthi. The means is thus huge? [in terms of its glories]. Actually it is Lord?s vaathsalya guNA which grants one mOksham; by getting pleased with the mukukshu?s [desirer of mOksham] Saranagathi [self-surrender] at His Feet. Thus His vaathsalyam is the Primary Cause. I cry like Draupadi and she too cried; even after saving her, You felt bad that You could not help her immediately and made her cry so long?
