Dear Sri.Prasad,
You differ from me because you are arguing from a premise
("pramANam") different from mine. 

I have already explained that the basis of my conviction is what has
been stated by SriRamanujAchAryA in his 'saraNAgati-gadyam' where the
Almighty categorically assures the surrendering 'jivAtmA' by telling
it: "nitya-kainkarya-bhavishyasi"... i.e. "Don't worry, I shall grant
you in your after-life the supreme state of eternal servitude to ME
in my kingdom (parama-padam)".

I have no reasons to disbelieve my 'pUrvAchAryan'. My 'achAryA' also
had no reasons whatsoever to disbelieve Ranganathan of SriRangam. The
'saraNAgati gadyam' has over the centuries become a testament of
faith for many people like me who try, as much as possible, to follow
srirAmAnuja's pathway.

I accept the 'saraNAgati-gadyam' as valid scripture. If you do not,
then there is nothing you and I can discuss further. 

All other points of discussion raised by you are extraneous to the
subject. So I think it is better we please leave it at that.
Thank you, Sir,
Regards,
dAsan,
Sudarshan
