Sri Madhavakkannan explained it well. Like he said, it is a gentle reminder for us not to worry anymore. Once we have submitted all our burdens to His feet, we should 'never' even think about worrying. But, being mere mortals, we don't even come close to that. We often worry about our problems, analyze the situation, feel great about solving problems... We do all this with an inherent ahankAram, as if 'we' are controlling things. This contradicts the basic premise. Hence a gentle reminder every day, "Sarva dharmAn ... sucha: enRu aruLiya SrI gIthAchAryan thiruvadigaLE thanjam" would be better. adiyEn, -Viji (Vijay Triplicane) Sri Madhavakkannan wrote... ====================================== Dear Sri Suresh, The charama slokam is nothing but a soothing, solace for us, deeply immersed in scorching, samsaaric oceans. To remove the taapam, that is the assuaging assurance from the Lord.. "Not to worry" anymore. The mere recitation of that sloka is a gentle reminder to oursleves everyday (and also to Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan for saving us, who have surrendered to Him alone ). Also, we can enjoy recitation of this charama slokam (as Sri Vijay Triplicane pointed about two years agom in the list for the same query), with a suffix.. as "Sarva dharmaan..... sucha.. enRu sonna GeethachAryan ThiruvadigaLE SaraNam".
