dear friends,

following are the meanings of the slokas of Sri Desika, sought by Smt Raji 
Sridhar of
Bhakti list.

kAmAsikAshtakam

tvayi rakshati rakshakaih kimanyaih?
tvayichArakshatti rakshakaih kimanyaih?
iti niSchita dhIh SrayAmi nityam
nruharE! vEgavatI tatASrayam tvam

meaning:
Oh Narasimha blessing us with your sEvA on the bank of VegavatI! You protect
me. Who else is the protector? You do not protect. Even then who else is the
protector? having this strong conviction, i take refuge in You forever.

ashtabhujAshtakam:

This is more explicit.

tvadEka tantram kamalAsahAya!
svEnaiva mAm rakshitumarhasi tvam
tvayi pravruttE mama kim prayAsaih?
tvayyapravruttE mama kim prayAsaih?

Oh Companion of SrI! Yours is the only way. You aone can protect me on YOUR
OWN. When you are into the business of my protection, what efforts do i need
to put in? When you are not into it, what efforts can I put in?
(no need to put any effort in either case).

what a simple philosophy?! much more simpler than ISKCON! need not do anything 
except having faith that He will take us to Him. why not follow it (anushtAnam)?

Regards
Vishnu
