SrI: Dear BhakthAs of Lord RanganAtha: adiyEn will continue with the 863rd to the 864th Sahasra Naamams today, which will take us from the 10th chapter of Prapatthi yOgyAdhikAram to the 11th chapter of Srimath Rahasya Thraya Saaram ( Parikara VibhAgAdhikaaram) : (863) (PraNavam) PrapathyadhikriyA panchadasa nirNaya- kOvidhAya nama: (Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who had the skills to determine the 15 aspects of fitness to perform Prapatthi. (Comments): How does one become eligible to observe Prapatthi without observance of Bhakthi yOgam ? That question is answered here. Bhakthi and Prapatthi have these in common: (1) Desire in the phalan of Moksham (2) gaining of knowledge of the meanings of Saasthram (3) performance of rites prescribed by the SaastrAs 4) sticking to Jaathi and GuNam for the observance of specific means (e.g) Prapatthi can be performed by anyone . Bhakthi yOgam is limited to three varNams only. Limited only to those perform Prapatthi for Moksham are three other conditions : (1) Inability or powerlessness to undertake any other upAyam(aakinchanyam) (2) a state of mind , where no other fruit is desired (3) a resolute state of mind , where no other God is sought for phalans of any kind (ananya gathithvam) . Inability to perform the ardous Bhakthi yOgam is called Aakinchanyam. One needs clear Jn~Anam , endurance and an impatience to wait for the fruits (Moksham ) of the slow yielding Bakthi yOgam . These three factors cause aakinchanyam in one and drives them towards the upAyam of Prapatthi. Further , there is no limit to which of the four varNAs can do Prapatthi unlike Bhakthi yOgam .Prapatthi has thus sarvAdhikAram . Hence , Prapatthi is glorious and is superior to Bhakthi yOgam for a Mumukshu. (864) (PraNavam) NyAsa VidhyAnga panchathvOpakAra vyAkruthi kshamAya nama: (Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who had the skills to describe the fruits of the five accesories ( angAs) of Prapatthi ( Aanukoolya Sanklapam , PrAthikoolya Varjanam , KaarPaNyam , MahA VisvAsam and gOpthruva VaraNam ). Prapatthi is hence described as "PanchAnga Samyutha: ". The " Shadvidha SaraNAgathy" referred to in Ahirbudhnya SamhitA means it is the Main SaraNAgahty characterized by the Five accessories . (Comments): One seeking Moksham has to perform the prapatthi ( SaraNAgathy , aathma nikshEpam) with the union of the above five angAs.He should surrender his Self , the burden of his protection and the fruits arising from that protection to the Lord. The definition of the five accessories are : 1) Aanukoolya Sankalpam : Vow to be anukoolan(agreeable) to the Lord(2) Praathikoolya varjanam : a vow to abandon all acts that will incur the displeasure of the Lord (3) KaarpaNyam : Realization of one's utter helplessness to practise the austere Bhakthi yOgam and to stay in a state of meekness before the Lord praying for His anugraham (4) Mahaa VisvAsam : Total faith in the Lord that He would come to his rescue (5) gOpthruva VaraNam : Prayer to the Lord and requesting Him to be his sole protector . Swamy Desikan instructed us that all the five angams are essential for prapatthi (Upayukthams) and there should not be dimunition in any one of them .
