Dear Asthikas Let us now know seven means. Whomsoever Baghvan chooses , by him alone is He reached. For it is indeed the dearest one that becomes worthy tobe chosen . To whomsoever He is unsurpassingly dear, he alone is the dearest to Him. What is required for the acquisition of that ( Loving devotion) is knowledge born of scriptures and functioning along with the seven means known as discrimination etc for it is declared in the scriptures to the effect that Brahmanas desire to know Him by reciting the Vedas, by sacrifices, by giving gifts, by religious austerities associated with fasting. The seven means stated here are Firm memory results wholly from Viveka(discrimination), vimoka ( Freedom), Abhyasa(practice),Kriya(work), Kalyana(auspiciousness), Anasada(absence of weakness), and Anuddharsha(absence of excessive merriment> Discrimination means , here, the purifications of the body by means of food which is not impure, either because of its own nature, or because of its source , or because of any special cause. The scriptural authority for this --when the food is pure , the mind becomes pure; when the mind is pure , there is firm memory. Let us worship Sri Hayagreevan with firm memory. Let us always worship like this. He will grant virtues to us. He will bless us with immutable satva gunas. He will give whatever we request. Ultimately He will take us to Paramaptha Let all of us complete the Mahamandap to Him at Oushtadri,with His anugraha.Let us join together for this noble cause Sarvam Sree Vasudeva Preeyatham Dasan Srikainkarya Soundararajan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
