Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya nama:
Dear Sriman Srinivasadasa,
I love to join the bandwagon. I have done lot of 
sins consciously and He alone knows how much I have done 
unconsciously. For a person like me,Sri Bhattar's wordings are the 
only hope to live for. I can personally feel Lord SriranganAtha's 
thoughts "what all I do to catch these jIvAtmAs and yet they nicely 
slip from the net I throw". Our suffering is nothing compared to His!
