Dear Friends, I fully endorse Sri KalaLe's position on Swami Desikan's approach to Prapatti. Sri KalaLe has very eloquently made a case for the role of Karma while aspiring for Moksha. Sri KalaLe states that Moksha is Prarthana Purvaka. This is brilliantly reflected in Swami Desikan's Nyasa Dashakam in the salutation "VishvAsa PrArthanA Purvam Atma RakshAbharam TvayI". Another Shlokam from the Bhagavad Gita which tends to support Sri KalaLe's position is Samam SarvEshu Bhuteshu Tishtantam Parameshwaram Vinashyatsva Vinashyantam Yah Pashyati Sa Pashyati.
