saundaryalahari
Saundaryalahari contains the watchword 'AtmArpaNadRRishA' This is the center expression of this shloka as well as of every Hindu sacred text. This is the Atma-nivedanaM, the remainder of the nine-overlap techniques articulated in the Bhagavatam. It is likewise the total acquiescence depicted in all bhakti writing and especially in the Gita. The articulation signifies "By the disposition which is prepared to lay one's life at Her feet". At the point when that disposition is available, all discussion turns into a Japa, all activity turns into a mudrA, etc. An individual who can do this acquiescence would have for what seems like forever purified as a pUjA to Her Omnipotent. A precisely closely resembling thought practically in similar words has been given by Acharya Shankara himself in his 'Shiva-Manasa-pUjA'. "You Master Shiva are my Atma, my psyche is Ambika the girl of the Mountain, my five prANas are the gaNas that serve you, my body is your sanctuary, all my inclusion in arousing experience is your pUjA, my rest is the samAdhi express, my wanderings on my feet comprise Your circumambulation; whatever I talk will be your gestures of recognition; whatever I do, Goodness Shambho, all that will be an appeasement of You.". Such devotion of everything at the feet of the Ruler is recommended by the Gita additionally: "Whatever you do, whatever you burn-through, whatever you offer in the home-fire, whatever you part with, whatever extreme focus you do – all that ought to be offered to Me" (IX-27). 'There isn't anything that I do', 'Positive or negative, Am I the practitioner?' – Such articulations of complete acquiescence are wherever in progress of Shaiva Nayanmars, Vaishnava Alvars, and furthermore the holy people of different religions. It is this sort of absolute acquiescence that gives the objective of one's introduction to the world, specifically JIvanmukti. What is talked of as 'the suspension of brain' in the way of jnAna turns into the 'all out give up in the way of Bhakti. Both are "AtmArpaNaM" as it were. To summarize, the body does what it does in light of the fact that it gets the force from the JIva inside it; so likewise what this JIva does is on the grounds that it gets the force from an incomparable JIva-shakti behind it and that is the Mother Goddess. For that shakti this JIva as well as the wide range of various JIvas comprise the body; – nay, the whole Universe is the body. When this thought settles profoundly in our psychological framework there will be no issue of laying our lives at Her feet.
