Srimathe Lakshminarasimha Para Brahmane Namaha Dear Sri.Balaji, I woud like to clarify your query as under based on the informations , I have gained. Total surrender to Sriman Narayanan is one of the easiest methods of attaining "Jeevan Mukhti" , though it is not the only way , as per our Srivaishnava Philosophy. We should understand clearly that Paramathma is different from Jeevathma. They are not the same. Jeevathma , by virtue of its inter relations with Paramathma ( the cause of the Jeevathma ) , tries to reach it by realizing its true identity. That reaching is the Jeevan Mukhti , which is the goal of the Jeevathma . There are plenty of Jeevan Mukhtas and all the Nithya soories who are referred to in the philosophy are none other than Jeevan Mukhtas. Our Alwars and Acharyas of the past also belong to the same group. The study of the lives of Alwars , their works and those of the Acharyas would give us an over view of what we should do to attain that stage. But we should not forget that it is a very difficult path and there is no compromise on its discipline of observance. Total surender calls for the following. Akinchanathvam- means , there is nothing we can offer to LORD , which does not belong to HIM. Ananyagathithvam- means , there is no other place to go for surrender , except the THIRUVADIES of Sriman Narayanan , as HE alone can give us the MOKSHA. Poorna Viswasam - means , Implicit faith in HIM and HIM alone. Where as the first two could be easier , the third one involves lots of discipline in oneself , but our Alwars and Acharyas have shown that it could be reached with sincere devotion and approach.No compromise on this. Trust the above clarifies your query.
