Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Nanjeeyar asked Bhattar the following question.

"In Bhagavad Gita, when teaching about the Bhakti yoga,
Krishna first warns Arjuna that He is going to tell him
something very secret and then tells him about it ('idam
tu tE guhyatamam pravakshyAmi'). But when He teaches him
the prapatti yoga, He first tells him about it and later
warns him not to reveal to one who is not worthy  ('idam
tE nAtapaskAya'). Why did He not warn Arjuna first about
the prapatti yoga before revealing it, like He did for 
bhakti yoga?"

Bhattar replied "Draupadi, who was dear to Him, had spread
her hair and made a vow. So, Krishna, without knowing what
to do, put Arjuna in the front - like putting the broom in
the middle of the house from its spot in the corner - and
started the war. When Arjuna hesitated, He revealed the
most
important secret which is prapatti yoga. After He did that,
realizing the greatness of its meaning and the fact that He
had distributed a great thing in front of one and all, He 
told Arjuna to guard it".
