Dear Sri.Prasad, I was not "suggesting" but saying with absolute conviction that, yes, there is definitely the prospect of "gainful employment" for all of us in the after-life thanks to sriya:pati who is the Eternal Employer. I base my conviction on the 'pramANam' of the 'saranagati-gadyam' of SriRamanujAchArya. There the Lord guarantees the individual soul 'eternal employment' ("nitya-kainkaryam") in His Kingdom ("param-padam"). I have firm conviction that such a "career" of eternal servitude awaits me too, if only I can qualify for it in this life itself. And I see no way to deserve such a "career" other than by properly studying and understanding the scriptures of my land, the foremost of which is the Veda. Thank you for your understanding. dAsan, Sudarshan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
