SRI :
Dear Bhgavathas,
PraNAms to all.
Like a child that is suddenly ushered into a sweet stall, not knowing what it should ask for bewildered by the different varietyies and colours of the sweets, we the mortals who R blessed with this birth as human beings do not really know what to aspire for in this valuable JANMA, being drawn and torn to pieces by the all powerful GUNAS and IndriyAs.
Our Acharyas, after in depth understanding of the MAYA's influence on us, have given us the ONLY possible path for Salvation in this Kali Yuga - SaraNAgathi. The Lord has also assured that if we cling to His Feet as the ONLY source of sure way to cross the ocean of SamsAra, He will, without doubt, Bless us with MOKSHA. But, when this MOKSHA will be accorded is not told by Him, as it is inevitable for us to exhaust what we are destined to undergo, before we cross the ocean of SamsAra.
While the Lord took the whole of Gita to explain to Arjuna , in fact to all Jeevatmas. Great Saints , AlwArs and AcharyAs have taught us in a nutshell - Unqualified Surrender to The Lord is the ONLY way for MOKSHA.
The Great Tamil Poet-Saint , THIRUVALLUVAR, has contained in the essence of Gita in his THIRUKKURAL and that too in the very first ten verses, that unless we cling to The Feet of The One who has no likes and dislikes, The Lord , one cannot cross the ocean of SamsArA.
The Lord, perhaps felt embarrased to ask human beings to Surrender to Him alone and so had to give a large preamble upto 17 chapters in Gita to declare finally in the 18th Chapter that SaraNAgathi is the only way left for mortals to escape from the cycle of birth and death. Where as His devotees felt free to declare to the entire Humanity that SaranAgathi is the ONLY way to cross the Ocean of SamsAra without any hesitation.
Let our Great Saints, AcharyAs and Bhagavathothams Bless us to follow The Path of SaraNAgathi and get rid of the cycle of Jananam & Maranam as is extolled in many works by them. Adi Sankara's,Bhaja Govindam also points out at the same path, thus adopting the same solution as worked out by Our EmberumAnAr, Sri Ramanuja and his followers.
Sarvam Sri KrishnArpanamasthu.
Adiyen Sri Ramanuja Dasan,

Respected Bhagawathas,
My understanding is that charanagathi yields the
fruits asked for in the sankalpam .Time and again it
has been emphasised that one should not define ones
rerquirement while approaching the Lord.HE KNOWS BEST
AND WILL BLESS AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME.DROPUPADI ASKED
FOR PROTECTION OF HER MODESTY and got it.An important
fact is that the Lord protected her from dwaraka
itself unlike as in ganjendra moksham.Ofcourse the
angas of prapatti are present in the call by Droupadi.
We may also remember that Arjuna was given the
viratrupa darsan,Dridarshtra the divine darsan.and so
did Bishma in the war and Devaki at the time of birth
of Krishna but all of them did not get moksham
immediately or freed from human sufferings.
Prahlada was reborn as vibishana and again as Akrura
inspite of the Lord appearing
as Narasimha.-a typical
case when prarabda karma is not totally erased by The
Lord so that His Leela can be comprehended and
appropriate lessons learnt. dasan narayanan
