Dear Friends,
I fully endorse Sri KalaLe's position on Swami Desikan's approach to
Prapatti. Sri KalaLe has very eloquently made a case for the role of
Karma while aspiring for Moksha. Sri KalaLe states that Moksha is
Prarthana Purvaka. This is brilliantly reflected in Swami Desikan's
Nyasa Dashakam in the salutation "VishvAsa PrArthanA Purvam Atma RakshAbharam
TvayI". Another Shlokam from the Bhagavad Gita which tends to support
Sri KalaLe's position is
Samam SarvEshu Bhuteshu Tishtantam Parameshwaram Vinashyatsva Vinashyantam
Yah Pashyati Sa Pashyati.
Namo Narayana,
Muralidhar Rangaswamy
