Bharanyasam is also known as Prabhatti or Saranagathi.
SRI N.KRISHNAMACHARI’S COMMENTS:
Prapatti consists of three steps.
Surrender one's Aatma (self) -- Recognize that this Atma is not independent
but is subservient to the Lord. This is called Swarupa
Samarpanam.
Surrender the responsibility for our protection to the Lord -- this is called
bhara samarpanam.
Whatever benefit arises out of our existence, this also is surrendered to
bhagavan, and there is no part in it for us -- this is called phala samarpanam.
Prapatti involves getting the knowledge of these principle from an Acharya and
making this dedication of our Atma to the Lord -- this is the prapatti that
leads one to moksham. This process of surrendering is called Bharanyasam, a religious rite performed by the family's acharyar.
Swami Desikan has written 10 gems on the necessity of doing prabahhti, how one should do it and how a person should lead his life after prabhatti in Nyasa Dasakam. I will post the meanings of the 10 slogam one by one starting next week.
when a person does the three samarpanams at the feet of Sriman narayana, he need not worry about his existence or karma. i am really eager to read the meanings of the 19 slokas of Swami Desikan to be posted by u
