Saranagathi gadyam Pravachanam day 2
points:
·
Gadya Trayam explains the meaning of
"Dwaya Mantram".
·
The speciality of Dwaya Mantram is to give
understanding on purpose of Life.
·
Dwaya Mantram helps to do Saranagathi to
"Lakshminarayana"(God).
·
Sri Ramanujacharya's Saranagathi gadyam is
an elaborate explanation of Dwaya Mantram.
·
Before going to Saranagathi gadyam,we have
to know the difference between Bhakti and Prapatti.
·
Bhakti is devotion and Prapatti is
sampoorna saranaagathi(yielding to god OR surrendering to god completely)by the
devotee.
·
Bhakta is the one with bhakti - Devotee
·
Prapanna is the one who is with prapatti -
Surrender
·
The first step to start your journey is to
become a Bhakta and you would get a promotion to be a prapanna.
·
Prapatti is a process of surrending
everything in God's service.Then he will release you from everything (either
papa or punya).He will carry you to paramapadam.
·
If we want to become a prapanna, we must do
Saranagathi to Vishnupatni(Lakshmi Devi).
·
The Saranagati gadyam is actually a
conversation between sri Ramanuja and sri Ranganatha.
·
Before going to begin the conversation with
Sri Ranganatha, we have to request Sri mahalakshmi(Thaayar) to recommend us to
Lord Sri Ranganatha because sri Mahalakshmi Amma is very soft natured and she
is the mother for the entire universe and our mother too.She will listen to our
words and recommend Us to Lord Sri Ranganatha to accept our prayers.
·
In Saranagathi
gadhyam, he emphasises on saranagathi (surrendering to Sriman narayana) as a path to attain moksham.
·
Saranagathi is superior to bhakthi yogam as
a means for attaining moksham.
·
Bhakthi is limited to thraivarnikas (persons
belonging to the first three varnas, viz., brahmana, kshathriya and vaisya and
even in these three classes, the males only) whereas saranagathi can be carried
out by anyone without any distinction.
·
Bhakthi is a difficult method to follow
while saranagathi is very simple.
·
Bhakthi gives results after the person who
follows it exhausts all his prarabdha karmas (karmas, or deeds, are of two
types, sanchita and prarabdha;
·
Sanchita karma is the sum total of all the
karmas that the jivathma (soul)
had earned while being born repeatedly.
·
Prarabdha is that which God takes out as a
portion from the full bundle of sanchita and lets the jivathma to complete in a
set of births in its term in the samsaram following the papa / sin and punya /
virtue karmas with which it was sent to this earth). Saranagathi yields results
in the same birth in which the athma had
performed saranagathi.
·
While following the path of bhakthi, one
has to be very careful in not transgressing what is told in vedhas. However
that is not the case with saranagathi as it is very simple to perform. One has
to take lot of efforts to carryout bhakthi while in the case of saranagathi, it
is readily available for practicing.
·
Bhakthi is not synchronous with the svarupam
(characteristics or basic nature) of athma while
saranagathi is. In other words, the svarupam of athma is to be subservient (seshabhuthan)
to sriman narayanan as well as to be dependent (parathanthriyan) on him and
these are fulfilled while following saranagathi whereas bhakthi is attained
through the self-efforts of athma which is not the svarupam of athma.And,
bhakthi is not a match for the result which is attained while saranagathi is.
Hence in order to get rid of samsaram and to reach srivaikuntam
to perform kainkaryams (service) to the dhivya dhampathi Bhagavath Ramanuja
carried out saranagathi.
LEARNING POINT OF THE DAY:
Let us keep it in our practice to recite the first
churnika infront of Mother Goddess when we visit temple.
