Sri RAmajayam SrimathE GopAla DEsika MahA DEsikAya Namaha Dear Sri.Rajagopalan, AdiyEn's views are stated below(closely in line with Sri.Anand Sampath Kumar and a few other Bhagavathaas) to share AdiyEn's perception(ignorance) and more relevantly to get more educated on this topic... In general there is nothing wrong in having fear. Fear is a matter of the servile personality and that itself fosters Seshatvam for being a good Bhagavatha coupled with San Maargam. Immaterial of whether a person is learned in SampradAyam or a novice, there is always the recognition that we are all Sesha Bhutas to the Sarva Seshee, the Supreme, the Divya Dhampathi Sriman Naarayana. For a Sri Vaishnava, however the Fear should not be fear of punishment, as we have to do everything in his name, order, pleasure and verily render the fruits to him(Satvika Tyaagam). Thus there is absolutely no need for fear (or doubt) of consequence. The fear is out of love and realization, it is actually more of remorse and seeking his mercy like exclaiming..... "Oh Lord what a supreme personality you are, you have no need for anything, leave alone AdiyEn's alpa upachaaras. I do realize I have to fulfill 40 Samskaaras in this life as per your divine order(Shastras), and have to perform Ajnyaa Karmas and Anugnya Karmas for getting the immediate opportunity and joy of serving you. This podiyan is short of those and am yet doing what AdiyEn am not supposed to do(Bhagavad, Bhaagavatha, AsahyA Apachaaram). With this realization, AdiyEn am ashamed and fear that I may do this again. Please bless me with Paripoorna Bhakthi, Jnaana and Vairaghyam so that I can be a good Sesha Bhutaa to you surrounded by Bhagavad/Bhaagavad vishayam. Once I renounce this mortal coil, AdiyEn would not have to fear myself, as I would be liberated from Samsaara by your mercy, and do eternal Kaimkaryam to you, the Para VAsudEvan extolled in the Shruthis-Smruthis-Ithihaasas-PurAnas and our beloved Poorvacharyas Words/deeds/action and form" Once again these are AdiyEn's views, and have to be ratified by the wisdom of those who had learnt at the feet of our Acharyas. AdiyEn noticed some free translations from the Bhagavad Geetha, posted by someone in reply to you, however AdiyEn feel they are not in sync. with Sri Vaishnava SampradAyic views(especially an apparent translation of Charama Sloka). AdiyEn Sri RAmAnuja DAsan, Sudarsana Dasosmi
