Dear All This is my humble attempt in answering the question about Thayar being a Jeevathma. From what I have heard the following is distinction provided. Souls like us yet to attain Moksha Mukthas - Who have attained Moksha. But whose Gnana was constrained at one point of time and took birth due to Karmic reasons and who realized bhagavan later on and are in the service of Bhagavan. Nithyas - Whose Gnana was never constrained or changed and are in the eternal service of Bhaghavan and who never took birth due to Karmic reasons. Obviously Thayar is in the Nithyas category but she is above them because of 2 reasons (1) She is Vishnu Pathni. When we do all our Karmas we have the pathni with us to do the sankalpa etc. Bhagavan does all his work with Thayar (truly the First lady) (2) She is the only one who never leaves Bhagavan in any situation. Refer to the very beautiful description of Vamana(Brahmachari) covering his chest in case others notice that Thayar is with him and understand his true form. Please pardon in case of errors. If there are, it is because of my poor understanding only. Adiyen Srinivasa Dasan Rangarajan
