Dear bhAgavatas, One of the difference between the two kalais is the nature of kaivalyam. Both sampradAyas accept kaivalyam is inferior to bhagavad- sAyujyam/parama padam. However, the thenkalai position is that - it is permanent; (from the explanation of a TK Acharya), the jIvan made a bad decision; it asked for it, aspired for it and got it. So, it is stuck with it. Isn't this dangerously similar to a christian claim that "accept Jesus or you will goto eternal hell?" (You make a bad decision of not accepting christ; you asked for it and got it). I request clarifications from learned bhAgavatas. Regards, KK
