Chapter – 24 - Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The significance of Sharanagathi
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Jeeva,
listen to me carefully about the significance of recitation of sacred names of
Lord Sri Hari, even the ignorant would achieve respect and fame with the grace
of Lord Sri Hari, later the world sing in praise of that person. The meditation
and contemplation upon the supreme Lord caused the stones to float on the ocean. The
sinful Ajamila who abandoned his family and elderly parents for a prostitute in
the wood, later years of grown too fond of his younger son ‘Narayana’, and
called out his name in the death bed was liberated. The Ganika/Prostitute in
her later years of age bought a parrot from the devotee of Lord Sri Hari which
compelled her to remember the name of Lord Sri Hari was finally achieved
liberation. The Kolas, Bhilas who sincerely served Lord Rama in the forest, the
chief of Nishadha Guha achieved liberation at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari. Dhruva,
the child devotee of Lord Sri Hari underwent extreme austerities and penance achieved
the Dharshan of Lord Sri Hari, was achieved the highest status of the pole star,
which made him highly revered by stars, Surya and Chandra. Oh! Prabho, your
endless glories are sung in praise by the Veda, scriptures, Santh, Mahathma, and
noble souls, I have already surrendered at your lotus feet, Oh! Prabho, kindly
protect me.
