The doubt is an illusion. Vaikuntham is here. Please recognize this fact.

Here, in these very fora where distinguished savants of the Divya
Dampathis, extraordinary mortals possessing extraordinary devotion by
constantly talking, discussing, about the Divya Dampathis, it is here we
can find the real Vaikuntham.

The writer has no idea about the Mythical Vaikuntham or the Alwars (it is
a matter of belief/faith but not Pratyaksha, direct perception. However,
reading the various posting daily containing the chaste and lofty
outpourings of devotee-members of these fora is Pratyaksha indeed. If even
0.01% of the distilled knowledge of the postings by the Great
Sampathkumars, sadagopans,Ramanbils, Venkatesans, Sumithra Varadarajan and
others are digested it is bliss.
Imagine in our workplace, at a proximity of less than 3 feet (the distance
between the computer monitor and your respective chairs), if the Lord's
words are constantly seen!!! What better opportunity to serve the Lords
than read the
postings by members ???

Work is worship they say, and it truly proved here. Here worship and work
both are enmeshed in such a way that frequent readings of these postings
itself removes mental lethargy and one is able to perform better.

It is because of the untiring efforts of the Alwars that today, we mortals
in this world are in a position to even talk and think of the Divya
Dampathis. Only because of the eternal bliss of the Divya Dampathis does
good thoughts come into the minds of Shri Sadagopan,Ramanbils, Venkatesans,
Sumithra Varadarajan and others and forums like Oppiliappan,
Tiruvengadam, etc. are formed and people join and make it into a big
movement. At least this writer has never come across/seen any of the
members spread across the globe. Most have not seen each other
face-to-face. Yet in the air, around the earth, invisible electronic
impulses are traversing back and forth carrying the word of the Lords.
Everything is invisible, except the impact on our collective minds. The
only common thread is the reference to the Divya Dampathis.

What more proof does one need? So please remove any doubts. When even an
insignificant squirrel can get the blessings of Lord Rama, why should
Vaikuntham be denied to us all ? And the irony is the squirrel was touched
by the Greatest of the Greatest Mahapurusha Shri Rama on this very earth as
an ordinary mortal.

As regards your last query? is anyone born as human being is entitled to
bliss? This is not a matter of entitlement. The Divya Dampathis with
their inherent magnanimity have given us all an opportunity to make best
use of our faculties, capacities and capabilities to help others who
perhaps feel they are 'not blessed' or who perhaps feel less entitled. If
you can serve the Lords the question of entitlement does not arise. HE
alone is entitled to everything, including your service. Our entitlement is
irrelevant.

Dear Sri.RK,
I think the AzhwAr certainly means to say that Vaikuntam is the
birthright of everyone. How many of us actually get to exercise that
birthright is an altogether different matter... How many of us can be
like NammAzhwAr?

Hope you are enjoying "Life of Vedanta Desika" series? I included the

'parama-pada-sOpAnam' sequence especially for a few friends like you
who were eager to know what the 9 easy steps to Heaven were!

Regards,
dAsan,
Sudarshan
