Namaste! May be this will be made clear when swamy tells us as to why he want us to stay from Acharya's Bhashyas in this famous Charama Sloka. Till such time this should not be blown out of proportions. On the other hand, Sri Madhwa says in one of his works says that - every vedic word has three hidden meanings, every sloka of mahabharatha has ten hidden meanings and every nama of Vishnu in Vishnu Sahasra Nama has 100 esoteric meanings hidden in it. In fact, in a scholarly gathering, when challenged by scholars on his words(especially on VSN), he rendered 100 meanings of the first nama - 'Om Vishwaya namaha' in a seamlessly rapid phase, that the scholars gathered there unable to follow the esoteric meanings shouted - 'sadhu, sadhu' and begged pardon. Thus Madhwa tradition has till date has this work of Madhwa on this first nama. It is altogether different matter that another disciple in Madhwa tradition has given out 100 meanings for nama - Narayana. Our Sadhana is in knowing/understanding/contemplating these esoteric meanings. As you all are aware, the words/thoughts/mind set of Lord Krishna is divine. In fact, it is said that he did not rendered all of 700+ slokas to Arjuna but Vyasa(who is rightly called as Vyasaya Vishnu rupaya Vyasa rupaya Vishnave) compiled all these for our sake. Who else but Lord can only author works like Mahabharatha. Thus, the divine words and thoughts is impossible to understand even for gods (let alone us) and hence, he being indwelling in Acharyas (in a special way) wrote bhashyas for Prasthana Trayas. Otherwise, the literal meanings of Vyasa's works will not do any good for the mankind. regards sukumar -----Original Message----- From: SriRangaSri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:SriRangaSri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Krishna Kashyap Sent: Thursday, November 17, 2005 8:17 AM To: 'rvv21'; SriRangaSri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [SriRangaSri] Re: Need some guidance and help regarding Sanathana Dharma Sri Tatachar wrote: > 4. sa-rva dha-rmAn pa-ri-tya-jya.....mA shu-chah. > Setting aside all other religious doctrines and dogmas, just surrender to me alone. > I will relieve you of all your sins and save you.

I should say - a good modernization of our ancient rishis' views. However the following " ESPECIALLY HERE STAY AWAY FROM OUR ACHARYAS BHASHYAMS" seems to devalue the views of great acharyas. This is not so considerate comment on our great ancient acharyas such as Samkara, Ramanuja and Madhva, who have toiled hard to summarize the whole meaning of Bhagawadgita in this verse. Neither is this an easy verse, which is better interpreted using a modern view, if one were to pay attention to the whole text of Bhagawadgita. I think one should understand our traditional bhasyas on this verse "sarva dharman parityajya". Yes it is complicated and probably the person asking this question is not so interested in deep "analysis and hair splitting views on this verse". However, deep ideas are hidden in this verse and a good understanding is necessary for any deep student of "hindu philosophy". Further the diametrically opposite views, which have even crept into modern books on Bhagawadgita is something one should know deeply.
