Prapatti Verses from "Shree Varaha-Purana" (in Sanskrit)...
Approximately 2 months ago I have published a post in English dedicated to "Nyasa-Yoga" (Prapatti) Verse from "Shree Varaha-Purana" - http://vishnudut1926.blogspot.ru/2017/02/prapatti-verses-from-shree-varaha-purana.html
This Verse is especially crucial for Shree Ramanuja-Sampradaya, because it is akin to Shree Varaha-Charama-Shloka and secures Moksha in just 1 life for Prapannas.
I have found this Verse in the Sanskrit Edition of "Shree-Varaha-Purana (link), it sounds in the following way (Chapter 142, Verse 62 in this English edition, but Verse 59 in this Sanskrit edition):
यस्यैतद् विदितं सर्वं न्यासयोगं वसुन्धरे |
योगे न्यस्य सदात्मानं मुच्यते न च संशयः ||
yasyaitad viditaM sarvaM nyAsayogaM vasundhare |
yoge nyasya sadAtmAnaM muchyate na cha saMshayaH ||
Translation: "But prapanna to whom Nyasa-Yoga (dedicating everything to Me) is known, gets Moksha, no doubt".
The entire excerpt in Sanskrit:
And the same Siddhanta in English - http://vishnudut1926.blogspot.ru/2017/02/prapatti-verses-from-shree-varaha-purana.html
"Shree Varaha-Purana" (Sanskrit, with Adhyayas numbers embedded into bookmarks for easy search)
UPDATE FROM 23-FEB-2021: I have also added to my blog the ITRANS-Sanskrit version of all "Shree Varaha-Purana" 218 Chapters (searchable TXT-file, just 1.6 MB), please see THIS POST.
DOWNLOAD (SANSKRIT, PDF-SCAN, 103MB):
English annotation by Vishnudut1926: This Sanskrit edition is great, but the numeration of Adhyayas is rather tricky.
I have embedded numbers of Adhyayas right into Bookmarks (can be seen via "CTRL+B" in most pdf-viewers), so everybody can find the necessary Adhyaya in a second.
I am using this Sanskrit scan in conjunction with English translation of "Shree Varaha-Purana" by Motilal Banasirdass (this one).
Please note, that some discrepancies are possible (for example, Verse 53 in Sanskrit edition maybe Verse 56 in English edition and etc.), but both Sanskrit and English scans are quite similar, so both scans are fit to be studied in conjunction.
If by means of Absolute Surrender one can attain The Grace of God, what is the need of performing the Dharmas?
Shree Ramanuja MahAcharya left instructions about "not to leave" and about Sattvika-Tyaga, while other acharyas (Shankaracharya, MadhuSudana Saraswati, Shridhara Swami) wrote about "leaving Dharma".
This article dwells on this contradiction, the conclusion that both angles are valid, but Shree Ramanuja MahAcharya instructions are much safer and reasonable to follow.

The Beauty of Shreemati TripuraSundari-Devi...
And that Enchanting Beauty, baffling all description, - the Beauty of TripuraSundari - who can describe it?
The Lips dyed red with the tambula, The Long Lashes Of The Eyes stained black with collyrium, the Tilaka of saffron on The Forehead, the string of priceless pearls encircling The Neck, the sparkling garments of gold - such is The Bewitching Beauty of The Daughter of The Lord of Mountains!

"Shree Bhargava-Tantra", BhutaShuddhi ke Mahatva and Shree Ashtakshara-Mantra-Khanda...
Rare "Shree Bhargava-Tantra" is being cited in "Vaishnava PanchaRatra Agama Katipaya Paksha" by Dr. Ram Pyare Mishra in connection with BhutaShuddhi Mahatva:
I have added this Tantra in my future purchases list, because it is available on exoticindia (just 20 usd).
While scrolling via "Table of Contents" I have noticed that "Shree Bhargava-Tantra" has a separate Khanda, devoted to Shree Ashtakshara-Mantra!!!!!!!!!!!

Disinterestedly Merciful...
Surely it is no fault of God, who is extremely compassionate.
His Grace is ever flowing in an unending stream; it is so abundant that it transcends all our conception.
The Lord Himself says:
"Having known Me as The Disinterested Friend of all beings, My devotee attains peace." ("Shree Bhagavad-Gita", 5.29)
God is Disinterestedly Merciful. This is corroborated even by Lord Siva in the RamaCharitaManasa. He says:
"Uma, there is no such Well-Wisher as Shree Rama in this world — neither preceptor, nor father, nor mother, nor brother, nor master."
This human body has been vouchsafed to us by God in His Great Mercy. The RamaCharitaManasa says:
"Rarely does God, Who loves a jiva without any self-interest, graciously bestow on it a human form.”
In this way taking every occurrence as a propitious dispensation of God, we should feel supremely contented and rejoice.
We should feel His Compassion pervading everywhere and know Him to be Our Supreme Well-Wisher. Who is there so Rich and so Compassionate as He?
When we take refuge in Him we shall attain supreme tranquillity.

MatRDevo Bhava...
Great Tika to the Verse 2.3 of "Shree Bhagavad-Gita". "MatRDevo Bhava" means "Respect you Mother as God (Deva)". You can also check this explanation on Quora - "What does "pitru devo bhava" means in Sanskrit?"
And the following is the excerpt from Sanskrit-Hindi Edition of "Shree Bhagavad-Gita" by Shree Ramanuja-Sampradaya (LINK TO E-BOOK), as you can see "Shree Padma-Purana" is being cited:

Ananda-Purita...
"Ananda-Purita" is very interesting expression, translating in English something like "filled with Ananda or overjoyed by Ananda". I have found this expression in Hindi-Sanskrit edition of "Shree Govinda-Lilamritam", Verse 22.1.
This Verse says how Radhika and Krishna go to sleep on the flower bed after being overjoyed ("ananda-purita") by various viharas (pastimes) such as lasya (dance), gayana (singing) and etc.
Shreemati Vrinda-Devi and Her Sakhis serve to Radhika and Krishna both during viharas and sleep:

2 new tracks on soundcloud...
Written today in about 40 minutes both, while playing with my favourite red metallic Washburn superstrat.
Track 01. "Sunflower from Goloka" - short indietronic piece - https://soundcloud.com/vishnudut1926/goloka-sunflowerexplanation-in-description-as-usually
Track 02. Small ambient piece in Cocteau Twins style, with epic guitar layers - https://soundcloud.com/vishnudut1926/evening-20170427-cocteau-twins-like-ambient-piece-explanation-in-description
Сидим с Кришнёнышем под вечер, крутим ручки гитар и FX-бордов, девчонки. Результат - 2 новых трека за 40 минут, ссылки - выше.
Тот трек, который под Cocteau Twins - он проходной, просто гитарный эксперимент.
А "Sunflower from Goloka" возник из простого перебирания аккордов на моем любимом красном Washburn. Затем я под эти аккорды быстро набила ритм (one-shots были взяты из довольно-таки неплохой, но не шедевральной сэмплерной сборки "SM90 - Jazztronica").
А вот синтовый патч мне очень понравился - это очень странный патч "052 Key - Shy Spiryt" из синта Rob Papen Blue-2, идеален для индитроники!

From pink to incarnadine...
NICE SYMBOLISM IN THE BELOW EXCERPT. THE LAST SENTENCE STRESSES OUT THAT BHAGAVAN SHREE KRISHNA ETERNALLY PLAYS WITH HIS SHAKTIS (GOPIKAS).
AND BY THE WAY "INCARNADINE" MEANS "FLESHY COLOUR" IN ENGLISH, RATHER RARE WORD:
"Again, the roseate tenderness of the palms of Shri Krishna Child hands, tender as the fresh blown lotus, evokes a superb poetic conceit in Madhusudana, of yore, when Prahlada was tormented by his unnatural parent, moved by solicitude for His long suffering bhakta, He assumed the terrific Form of Nrsimha and lacerated with His fingers the stubborn bosom of the benighted Hiranyakasipu.
And the gore that spouted forth from his bosom did His hands incarnadine.
And this red of His palm was doubly rendered so, when with His tender palms He (Krishna) caressed, in love, the bosoms of the Gopis dyed with saffron!
And, wonder! The dye has come to stay forever in Krishna's Hands!"

Simplicity of Bhakti...
"Too much of rational explanation is the bane of modern civilization. We must begin with a child like simplicity and have implicit faith in God.
If I exist God exists.
Once we have faith in the existence of God, then arises the necessity of prayer.
There are only two aids to those who are faultering in their steps in the path of God-realization - one is constant endeavour and the other is prayer.
To one with a prayerful attitude there is no idleness.
When we are not actively engaged in a work you can seek union with The Divine in prayer. It purifies and strengthens us.
Heart-felt prayer steadies one’s nerves, humbles one and clearly shows one the next step".
Cited from "Kalyana-Kalpataru", December 1951 issue,
from the article "Efficacy of Prayer" by S.B.Keshaviah
