Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya nama:

Dear devotees,
I missed something important in my previous post. I don't 
want people to mistake my post. Whatever I wrote was based on my 
almost "zero" understanding of our ThenAchArya sampradAyam. 

I intentionally excluded SribhASyam in my post because I 
have absolutely no idea whether EmperumAnAr had treated the topic 
of "swargam/narakam" in SribhASyam. With this I will add couple of 
points wrt "nirhEtuka krpa" and the "state of prapannAs".

1. It's HE who chooses us. Once HE chooses us all our karmas die. We 
are assured of liberation from samsArA. It's HE who chose arjuna and 
not the other way round. According to us,there were more qualified 
people than arjuna but still perumAL chose only arjunA. 

2. I was told that although EmperumAnAr didn't explicitly 
used "prapatti" in SribhASyam,it's only with NammAzhwAr's 
Tiruvoimozhi and prapatti as the "base" he wrote sribhASyam. 
EmperumAnAr practised and preached "prapatti" only throughout his 
life. Moreover for prapannAs there is no swargam/narakam. There is 
only mOksham/liberation.

3. Once we hold onto the feet of Sri EmperumAnAr,we jIvAtmAs need not 
worry about our punarjanmam,swargam/narakam,pApam/puNyam. That's the 
guarantee/assurance given to EmperumAnAr by SriRanganAthA(as per 
EmperumAnAr's wish to liberate the jIvAtmAs). EmperumAnAr's "Tiru 
uLLam" is infinite and one can't describe it in words!

Please pardon me for any misconceptions in the post.

AzhwAr EmperumAnAr Jeeyar TiruvadigaLE saraNam
