Dear Drevotee of Sriman Narayana :
Aarthi means intense suffering ." Aapanna Aarthi " a term
used by Swamy Desikan in His Sri Sthuthi SlOakm (10th SlOkam)
was discussed recently in the Oppiliappan List posting . Aapanna
here means danger . Aapanna Aarthi means intense , unsuspected
danger over which one has no control or forewarning .
There are two kinds of Prapaathi ( Surrender at the sacred feet of
Lord with the total belief that we have no one else to save us ):
1.Dhruptha Prapatthi done by Dhruptha Prapannan in the form
of Prapatthi , where AchAryan intervenes or a highly evolved
one performing his own SaraNAgathy ( Svanishtai). A chEtanam
does Prapatthi and waits for the Lord's call to Moksham
and spends his remaining time on earth doing service to
one's AchArya , BhagavAn and His BhagavathAs .
2. Aarthi Prapatthi is done by one in intense danger seeking
Sriman Narayana's intervention to grant Moksham , when
one is suddenly facing death and has not done SaraNAgathy .
Alternatively , Aarthi Prapatthi is also the Prapatthi done by a Jeevan
,
when he or she is so overcome with sufferings of SamsAram that
they do not wish to stay in this Karma BhUmi anymore and seek Sriman
Narayana's
immediate intervention to seek the ultimate goal of life to serve the Lord
in
Sri Vaikuntam and join the group of liberated sould to enjoy eternal
Moksha Sukham .
When your husband cried out of Aarthi in that danger time and
invoked the Lord's name , our Lord on the banks of Ganges
heard it and came to the rescue and safely landed your daughter
on the other shore safely .
That is what the elderly VaishNavar meant : " Aarthi Prapannan
Aanaai " .
Swamy ManavALa Maamuni has composed a Prabhnadham called
Aarthi Prabhandham , where he seeks the Lord's intervention
in this fashion , when he wanted in a great dhvaei ( haste ) to join
Lord NarAyaNA's sacred feet at Sri Vaikuntam , when he could not
brook all the SamsAric sufferings .You can read THE INTENSITY OF
SWAMY MANAVALA MAAMUNIGAL in His Aarthi Prabhandham :

Dear Sri Vaishnava Vidvans,
In our pilgrimage to Badrinath, in Haridwar , my
daughter was carried away by the Ganga. When nothing could be done,
no one to swim and bring her to banks, my husband, cried out " Oh
Narayana", after about 20 minutes, she was thrown to that side of
the river, where he was standing. ...... seemingly by the Divine
Grace , my daughter survived. then a Sri Vaishnava elder said, "
AARTHI PRAPANNAN AANAAI ".
Can anyone explain to me the exact meaning of these words.
What it means? Whereelse these words were used by our earlier
Acharyas -- if anyone could cite any reference for my personal
understanding.
