 Dear Sriman Mukund and Sriman Ramakrishna,

In my humble opinion there is an answer to this in Sri Sri Guna Ratna kosa 
Sloka of Sri Bhattar:

AhuR vEdAn amAnam katichana katichArAjakam viSvametat
rAjanvat kEchidISam guNinampi gunaih tam daridrANamanyaih
BhikshAvanayaih surAjam bhavamti cha jadAh tE talAkaryakArshuh
yE tE SrIranga harmyAngaNa kalpa latE! na kshaNam lakshyamAsan

Some people do not have any regard for Vedas. Some people say Kind of this 
universe is nirguNa. Some others say the Emperor is a beggar (rudra). Others 
say there is no ruler. Why? Oh Golden creeper encircling the divine 
SrirangadhAma, only because You havent looked at them even for a while.

So whoever do not have the nirhEtuka krupA of SrimannArAyaNa (the embodiment of 
which is jaganmAtA lakshmI - unilke in other hindu schools where mother godess 
is the energy), cannot realise Him. Ref: macchittah sarva durgANi matprasAdAt 
tarishyasi where rAmAnuja bhAshya says mat prasAdAt Eva tarishyasi only because 
of my mercy.

so what is the sign that we have got His mercy? once He enters our mind, all 
our puNya and pApa will vasih (say Alwars). He will never leave us even if we 
forget Him.

these are the things I am learning from the learned. all mistakes are due to my 
poor understanding and self-study.

>1. Lord Srimannarayana is the only deity who descended on this earth in

>time especially as Lord Rama.(more than 10000 years) and killed
>numerous demons.
>
>2. Lord Srimannarayana is the only deity who descended on this earth
>and gave us the total picture of the human being, his duties, ways and
>means to achieve His supreme abode along with his utmost supremacy etc
>through Srimad BhagawadGita which is the only Hindu document that is

>*** Bhagawath Gita is the only complete Work by the Lord HIMSELF *****

>3. Even on the basis of Trinity, Lord Vishnu who all consider as Lord
>Srimannarayana is the one who sustains this universe. Here too
>sustenance is the most important every moment of our life as Creation is
>already over (though by Lord Brahma who came out from the navel of Lord
>Vishnu) and annihilation is not of immediate concern ( Though even the
>annihilator Lord Siva is born from Lord Brahma who is again from the
>navel of Lord Vishnu). Thus Lord Vishnu who is the sustainer of each
>and every being is the most important of all deities every moment of our

>
>4. Mantra pushpam chanted by all the hindu faiths, mentions

>5. Sandhyavandam done by all faiths of hinduism shows purification by

>
>6. Sun who is called Pratyaksha Bhagwan is called as SuryaNarayana

>7. . Most of the demons or Rakshasas are the devotees of Lord Siva, but
>killed by the forms of Lord Vishnu, which indicates that Lord Siva

>8. Ashtakshari is the only mantra of Lord Narayana called Mantra Rajam
