Dear Sri Govindarajan: You are asking a very important question . Out of his unparalleled dayA ,Swamy Desikan has instructed us on these important points. The answers to your questions are housed in the following sections of his Sri Sookthis: 1. Chapter 18 ( AparAdha ParihAra AdhikAram ) of Srimath Rahasya thrya Saaram 2. PrahdAna sathakam : Topics 83-88 ( ApachArams and their parihArams ) This section deals with Bhagavath/Bhaagavatha/ AchArya ApachArams and parihArams for them . These topics are covered in the Next issue of SaraNAgathy Journal (Volume 3.4) to be released shortly. Further , EmpAr's ten upadEsams ( Ten Vaarthais) touches on the subject also.The seventh and the Eighth Vaarthais focus on this exact topic. The essence of these upadEsams is that the fruits of Prapatthi is not realized for those , who commit Bhaagavatha and AchArya ApachArams and falling at the very feet of the offended BhaagavathAs and the performance of PrAyascchittha prapathti are two upAyams to wipe out these asahyApachArams. The 15th chapter of Srimath Rahasya Thraya Saaram ( Utthara kruthyAdhikAram ) covers the life that a prapannan should lead after performing Prapatthi at the sacred feet of a SadAchAryan. The most merciful AchAryan is the refuge for us in such situations, where such an AparAdham has occured. The SadAchAryan will in all probability direct us to receive AparAdha KshAmaNam directly from the Bhaagavathan.
