SVS 92 [ Suresa-86](10.1)

86. OM SURESAYA NAMA: सुरेशा नम:
Leader of Devas [gods].

Today's [ 18th June 2008] lecture is also from Sri Srinivasa Perumal temple at Agaram. Bheeshma reiterates certain points repeatedly to impress in our minds. Suresa means Leader of Suras [Devas]. Vedas consist of two parts: karma kanda explains how to perform an yagna, etc; gyana kanda or vedanta explains how to reach Moksham. Karma kandam details decaying results one could obtain. But by practicing bhakti yoga or by saranagati, one could attain Moksham and this is explained in gyana kanda. Therefore gyana kanda is superior. This is uniformly told and in one voice by all the three vedas - rig, yajur and sama . Itihasa, purana and smritis all support this view. Sriman Narayana alone grants us Moksham.
