It is understood that we perform Prapatti to attain Emperuman as following Bhaktiyogam as a means is impossible in this Kaliyugam. Swami Desikan has mentioned about Agnyaa and Anugnyaa kainkaryam at many instances. Is it a must for a Prappanna to perform Agnyaa kainkaryam as prescribed in the Sruti-Smritis? Moreover, as per Gita that whatever Bhagavan has uttered as karmayoga and Agnyaa kainkaryam are they both one and the same (sathyam vada, speak the truth)? Or are they different?

One must do Agnyaa Kainkaryam though there is no relationship between this and attaining Moksham because performing Sarangati will lead to Moksham. Not performing Agnyaa kainkaryam will beget sin and we have to undergo punishments for it; so, it is a must that we do Agnyaa kainkaryam.

Karmayogam stated in Bhagavad Gita and Agnyaa kainkaryam are not the same. Irrespective of Karmayogam, Bhaktiyogam, or Gnanayogam, Agnyaa kainkaryam should be done separately. Nitya karma anushtanam-s can be considered as Agnyaa kainkaryam which should be done every single day without fail.
