>From my understanding the criterion required for Prapatti and eventually Moksha are: 1. Devotion only to Sriman Narayana 2. Refrain from Bhaagvadh Abacharaam Correct me if I am wrong, but because of the lord's "Daya" Gunaa "anyone" can get Prapatti done. So my question then: what is the difference between an individual who has tried to follow the Path of Bhakti (reciting slokas, performing prayers, trying to follow the teachings of our archaryas) to attain Moksha; AND one who hasn't done any of the above. How can such a person get Prapatti done? Someone once told me "For an individual who has tried to follow the Path of Bhakthi, getting prapatti done is easy, doesn't take any effort on his part to trust the system; He already does.. while for the individual who was oblivious of everything all these years, to develop a conviction is incredible, and that is the beauty of our system and the Dayaa Gunaa of the lord. He went on to say, it does take something extra special for that individual to seek refuge in the lord. One further question: I have also heard that just by getting prapatti done, you are not guranteed Moksha. So tying in with my previous question, is this the difference between the individuals (one who has made an effort to follow, and the other who hasn't). But while performing prapatti the lord does offer his support when you beg for forgiveness; so how can he withdraw it later on(in case u get prapatti done, and don't attain Moksha). I am confused and would appreciate if the group could help me understand this concept, it's significance and eligibility correctly. Adiyen, Madhusudhan
