SRIMATHE RAMANUJAYA NAMAHA (5)
APPAN THIRUVADIGALE SARANAM
 

Dear Bhagavathas, Accept my pranam. This is in continuation of my earlier 
posting.





# What is the way to get Moksha. ?

Sastras show the way. Gnana,Karma, Bhakti Yogas and Prapatti.
Prapatti is absolute surrender to Emperuman. 
# Is this a Upaya?
Prapatti and saranagathi represents the same.

When this is done as a ritual it is known as Sangaprapatti.
But, Poorvacharyas of Srivaishnavam have held the view   
That Emperuman , the master of all out of his boundless kindness takes action 
for the redemption of the jeevas from Samsara. He is waiting for an opportunity 
for the jeeva to take interest in him and the non-rejection (Aprethishetham) of 
the efforts of Emperuman by the jeeva. He develops a desire inthe jeeva and 
nurtures it till the end. In fact He is the Upaya(means) andUpeya(result to be 
obtained). He is the one who feels happy for the happy ending. No special 
action is required.
The entire Thiruvaimozhi reflects this aspect.
. 
Acharya Hirudhayam Sutra.211. Contains information?s as to which of the Pasuram 
reflects Artha panchakam

It is the Nirhethuka krupai of Emperuman that we are having Thiruvaimozhi and 
Azhvars Arulicheyals 

The very first Pasuram says??MAYARVARA MATHI NALAM ARULINAN.?
# Did Azhvar ask for it?
?YANOTTI ENNUL IRUTHUVAM ENRILAN
THANOTTI VANDHU EN THANI NENCHAI VANCHITHU OONOTTI NINRU EN UYIRIL KALANDHU?
(I did not think of keeping him in me. He himself came, enticed my mind 
andmixed with my soul of his own accord) TVM.1.7.7.)

MARUVI THOZHUM MANAME THANTHAYAI (TVM.2.7.7)
(You gave me the willingness to the mind to worship you 

Did Azhvar has any qualification for this kindness?
?NEECHANEN NIRAIVONRUMILEN EN KAN PAASAM VAITHA PARANCHUDAR 
CHOTHIKKE?(TVM.3.3.4)
(I am the worst of all. I am not complete in any field. What Can I do for the 
Great ?Param Chudar Chothi??)
Instead:
?KAIYAR CHAKKARATHU EN KARUMANIKKAME ENRENRU
POYEE KAIMAI CHOLLI PURAME PURAMME YADI
MEYYE PERROZHINTHEN?..(TVM.5.1.1.)
I acted and told lies as ?Kaiyar chakkarathu en Karumanikkame?etc., but, I got 
real grace from him.
To be continued.. to 6
