My thoughts on Sharanaagati - the one and only way to attain HIM !!



The greatness and supremacy of Sharanaagati!

It is high time we have to turn our focus towards the purpose for which we are here, in this Leela Vibhuti (world).

After so many thousands of births of various kinds, a human status is obtained. This human birth is the fruit of the accumulated "Punnyam" we had done all through. (This can be compared to a highly priced article that we buy, paying huge amount of money and the amount of care we take for that article)

Human life has three stages called -
  • Birth
  • Stiti (growth)
  • Death
Of these, birth and death are not in our hands. We show more concern over Stiti. We don't know when it would stop, as our life is compared to the occurrence of a lightning (lightning disappears in no time)
"மின்னின் நிலையில மன்னுயிர் ஆக்கை" says Nammazhwar.
What can be done to end the endless cycles of births and deaths?
Our Great Raamanujacharya performed, as well as showed us the Anushtanam called PRAPATTI on a Panguni Uttaram day in the presence of Sri RangaNayika Sametha Sri Namperumal.

Through this generous act, Udaiyavar paved the way for the entire human race to get relieved of the "Punarapi Jananam Punarapi Maranam" cycle at the end of their births.
This PRAPATTI anushtanam is the one and only means to save the jeevan from the perils of samsara.

All living beings are eligible to perform this Anushtanam. There are instances where Prapatti was done by Azhagiyasingars, even for cows and elephants.

We need to be committed to the following three things after performing Prapatti -
  1. Staunch, unmoving faith that Sriman Naarayana is the Supreme Being, as it is clearly stated in Vedas and Upanishads.(ஒத்தார்மிக்காரை இலையாய மாமாயா) எம்பெருமானே பர தத்வம் என்பதில் தெளிவு- which means there is none equal to or above Him in any context.
  2. Having sincere faith in Him and driving one's thoughts and deeds towards Him. அவன் திருவடியை அடைவதே பரம ஹிதம் என்ற துணிவு.
  3. The deep longingness to enjoy the eternal bliss. எம்பெருமானை அடைந்து அனுபவிக்கக் போகும் பரப்ரும்ஹானுபவத்தில் த்வரை (pronounced interest)
The upadesam of Sri Varaaha Perumal, to Bhoomi Piraatti on His lap,
Sri Rama piran's assuring words of Abhayam to Vibheeshanan on the sea shore,
The consoling words of solace ("Maa sucha:") given by Sri Krishna to Arjuna are the guaranteed words of the Supreme - to lift us from the deluge of samsaara by way of SURRENDER.

Performing Prapatti needs no specification of time, place or status. All that is needed is the single minded focus on His lotus Feet without any reluctance, doubt or second thoughts

There cannot be a better, suitable and simple option to rescue us from this prakruthi which is filled with kama, krodha, lobha, moha.

Praying for Aacharyan, Aazhwar, Divya Dampathi krupai on ALL !!!
