SrI: Dear BhakthAs of Lord RanganAtha: adiyEn will continue with the 867th to the 871st Sahasra Naamams today, which will cover the 12th chapter of Srimath Rahasya Thraya Saaram ( Saanga prapadhanAdhikAram) : (867) (PraNavam) Prapatthi LakshaNaabhij~nyA nama: Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who knew very well the lakshaNams of Prapatthi . (Comments): This chapter explains the ways to perform Prapatthi with its five angams . Swamy Desikan has instructed us on the way of performing Prapatthi(aathma SamarpaNam) along with its five accesories : 1) Karthruthva ThyAgam: The person performing Prapatthi should reflect that he is not the principal doer ( KarthA) , but it is ParamAthmA alone , who is the doer . 2) MamathA ThyAgam: The person performing Prapatthi should detatch oneself from the thought that he is the karthA and the karma belongs to him . 3) Phala ThyAga : the performer of Prapatthi should detatch himself from the fruits of Prapatthi and place that at the sacred feet of the Lord as belonging to Him alone. 4) PhalOpayathva ThyAga: Prapatthi that is being performed should be recognized not as a direct means for attaining his object but it is only a vyAjam ( pretext) . One should banish the thought that Prapatthi is the direct means for the phalan resulting from the performance of Prapatthi. Abandoning the idea of the means to the phalan is PhalOpAyathva ThyAgam . Along with the FOUR ThyAgams ( Karthruthva, MamathA , Phala and PhalOpAya ThyAgams) , one should reflect upon the five accessories of Prapatthi ( Aanukoolya Sankalpam et al) at the time of the anushtAnam of Prapatthi. These five accessories of Prapatthi have to be reflected upon once at the time of Prapatthi. After performing Prapatthi and until the end of the earthly life , the Prapannan has to observe still aanukoolya sankalpam , Praathikoolya varjanam and MahA ViswAsam . They become the Phalans gained from the prayer made at the time of Prapathti. After making the four ThyAgams and reflecting on the five accessories , one should prostrate before the AchArya Paramparai ; thereafter , Dhavaya manthram is used as sadhanam to surrender one's aathma Svaroopam ( Svaroopa SamarpaNam) , the phalans arising from the Prapatthi ( Phala SamarpaNam) and the aathma rakshA bhara samarpaNam ( the burden of protection ) . Among the three kinds of SamarpaNams , the Aaathma RakshA Bhara SamarpaNam is the most important . One should ask for Moksham at the end of earthly life , when one performs Prapatthi and in the post-prapatthi period engage in blemishless kaimkaryam to the Dhivya dampathis. One of the four methods of Prapatthi has to be observed: (1) Sva Nishtai (2) Ukthi Nishtai (3) AchArya Nishatai and (4) BhAgavatha Nishtai . 868) (PraNavam) NyAsa VidhyAngi vEdithAya nama: (Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who was fully familiar with the angi svaroopam of NyAsa Vidhyai. (Comments): In the 864 th Sahsra Naamam , the angams of the NyAsa Vidhyai were covered . The angi of Prapatthi is Aathma SamarpaNam( Surrender of aathma at the sacred feet of the Lord) . 869) (PraNavam) Thrivarga mOksha janaka nyAsa vidhyA visEsha vidhE nama: (Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who knew the differences between the two kinds of NyAsa Vidhyai : (1) One that grants the phalan of thri vargams( Dharmam , arTam and Kaamam) (2) One that grants Moksha Phalan.Lord grants the Phalan that one seeks through Prapatthi .ParamaikAnthis perform Prapatthi for Moksham . The thri varga Phalans are alpa phalans (insignificant and transitory) compared to the grand phalan of Moksham . In the Prapatthi done for Moksham alone , Svaroopa and Phala SamarpaNams will dominate . Bhara SamarpaNam is common for both kinds of Prapatthis. There are also differences in a Bhakthi yogi performing prapatthi for the fulfilment of Bhakti yOgam . Here , the Bhara SamarpaNam aspect will be dominant . 870) (PraNavam) Saanga PrapathyAnushtAna prayOga vidhi saadhakAya nama: (Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who revealed to us the PrayOga Vidhi of Prapatthi ( The united way of using the prapatthi vaakyams for angams with pradhana vidhi , which relates to the angi of Prapatthi). (Comments) : Angams for Prapatthi are five and there are vaakyams relating to them in Prapatthi prayOgam . Angi is the combination of Aathma SamarpaNam , Phala SamarpaNam and Bhara SamarpaNam . PradhAna vidhi for Prapatthi is the saanga pradhAna vidhi samyuktha prapatthi ( PradhAna vidhi conmbined with anga vidhis) . Aathma samarpaNam and Phala SamarpaNam should not be considered either as angams or seperate angis . If we consider Aathma SamarpaNam and Phala SamarpaNam as seperate angis , then the effect would be the multiple performance of Prapatthi , which is not allowed. Prapatthi has to be done only once . 871) (PraNavam) Saanga prapathyanushtAna sakruthva sTApana kshamAya nama: (Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who had the skills to establish that saanga Prapatthi ( Prapatthi done with the angAs) should be done only once . (Comments) : The angams of Aanukoolya sankalpam , PrAthikoolya varjanam and MahA ViswAsam reflected upon at the time of Prapatthi take on different dimensions after the prapatthi anushtAnam . All the three are needed after prapatthi but their role is no longer that of angams , but are considered as Phalans of Prapatthi. Thus , Prapatthi doen once ( Saanga Prapatthi with PradhAna Vidhi) is all what is needed for Moksha Sidhdi .
