Charma Slokam.
sarva-dharman parityajya
mam ekam saranam vraja
aham tvam sarva-papebhyo
moksayisyami ma sucah
Yesterday I was in a lecture by a ISKCON Maharaj and he spoke about this famous Charma Slokam in the Gita (since I requested). I found that the interpretation is different from the one in the Sri Sampradayam. In the ISKCON phylosophy, the word dharman refers to duties of all kinds including any religious obligations one may have. However, in Sri Sampradayam, the word dharman (in Pravritti maargam) refers to all prayaschitta-dharmas, or all obligations taken to compensate for our wrong doings, but the essential dharmas should not be renounced. Bagu (short for Bagavaan) takes care of all the prayaschittas, thus paving the way for bhakti to emerge. In light of Eckhart Tolle, the Sri Sampradhayam interpretation seems right, at least when following the Pravritti maargam.
