Thanks for sri Vasu
Venkatraghavan for the clarification. tradition just because it was
followed by ancestors does not mean anything. tradition has to be evaluatedin
the light of shaastras. I seriously advice everyone to make effort to
learn the essence of our shastras. WE are bringing so many learned
scholars and acharyas on the teleconference. If you do not want to quit US
and go to india to study under acharyas, at least make effort to listen to their
lectures and learn these issues. strictly speaking one should not even
have such doubts after prapatti. before prapatti itself one has to make effort
to find out what it is about. this can be done by effort. to come to US
one takes up exams such as GRE, GMAT etc. to go to vaikuntam one has to
work to understand what the paths are. One has to clearly know what
is bhakti yogam, prapatti etc. Every attainment here or hereafter requires some
sacrifice. Even getting a job requires effort. Hence I suggest
everyone to focus and learn some details deeply regarding prapatti. there are a
number of books also. However learning under gurus is definitely preferableand
books should be used only for additional clarifications or anusandhanam -
practice.
Dr. NS
anantharangachar is teaching sharangati gadyam - the essence of the theory and
practice of sharanagathi or surrender. Please look into bhaktilist
postings and probably there will be a class next week.
