Dear Smt Vedavalli,

What I was saying is, the sukrtam of generating Bhakti in us is done 
by the Lord Himself, according to Bhattar, whether in this life or 
previous. Bhattar expresses similar view in SrI guNa ratna kOSam 
also, where he says, disrepcting vEdas, considering someone else to 
be the Lord, or saying there is no God, all those things are due to 
lack of thAyAr's (His krpA) glances on the people at least even for a 
second (ref. Ahu: vEdAn amAnam... verse).

Then why you, Ms Nappinnai and myself are seemingly talking against 
vEdas? One may get a doubt. In comparison with thamizh vEdam, even 
those vEdas are like "dhivitti" before Sun.

vEdaiScha sarvai: aham Eva vEdya:

nAham vEdai: na tapasA.. Both are said by the Lord Himself!

Bhattar had given a very simple defintion for Bhakti before he took 
up the discussion on Bhakti, which I posted. I will post that in next 
postings. According to Bhattar, the so-called dhyAnam or meditation 
is nothing but thinking of His kalyANa guNas.
