PRAPATTI ASHTAKAM

Prapatti Ashtakam Eight Verses on Surrender by Sri Jagadisa Sastri ABOUT 1945, Sri Jagadisa Sastri, a great Sanskrit scholar and compiler of Ramana Sahasranamam, was seriously ill and bed-ridden. All had lost hope of his survival. Bhagavan's special intervention to save him was sought. A.Devaraja Mudaliar writes about it in My Recollections of Bhagavan Sri Ramana: Jagadisa Sastri, whom I used to call the Sanskrit Poet of Bhagavan's Court, wrote the stanzas called 'Prapatti Ashtakam.' He was on his deathbed, and wrote his final appeal in this poem (Prapatti Ashtakam) declaring that he would not accept any plea by Bhagavan that prarabdha must follow its course, and that if only Bhagavan willed it, His Grace could cancel prarabdha and save him. Bhagavan took such compassion on him that he was pulled out of the jaws of death. To show how much importance Bhagavan gave to this special prayer, we shall quote from Devaraja Mudaliar's book again: These verses were translated into Tamil with the approval and encouragement of Bhagavan by T.K.Sundaresa Iyer. I got a tiny notebook stitched and wanted to have the Sanskrit and Tamil versions on alternate pages in it. The Sanskrit I wanted to have written in Tamil script. I wrote the Tamil verses first and left the alternate pages blank for the Sanskrit. I was on the lookout for somebody who would be able and willing to transliterate them for me. I certainly did not intend to trouble Sri Bhagavan to do such a job for me but, as usual with me, in the course of a talk I told Bhagavan of my desire and he, brushing aside all objections, took the notebook from me and copied the Sanskrit verses into it in Tamil script, neatly and beautifully as was his wont, and gave it back to me. The notebook is with me and will go to my sons as an heirloom. The above text was reproduced in the October, 1985 Mountain Path, wherein the Ashtakam was reproduced in Bhagavan?s own handwriting. This issue can be downloaded from the Sri Ramanasramam's /resource_centre/publications/mountain-path/) pages. Needless to say, Bhagavan responded to the devotion of Jagadisa Sastri, expressed in this composition, and he soon recovered to live a long life in the service of the Master.
