Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya nama:
Dear Vishnu,
          I was joking. I am not that keen about srI vaikuNTam for 
couple of reasons. I don't find paravAsudEvan as handsome as the 
azhagiya maNavALan in bhujanga shayanam. If there is only happiness, 
will it not be boring? Only in the pain/separation, love blossoms to 
its fullest I guess! Even if i am in some remote corner of this 
material world, the thought of srI ranganATha on the serpent bed 
brings me a smile and makes me wonder about Him. He is happily 
enjoying His nidra instead of doing yOgam. That's why He is taking 
such a long time to catch us! We have so many varieties of perumAL 
in different postures which we wouldn't find in srI vaikuNTam. So, 
bhUlOkam is better than paramapadam in this aspect. I could be wrong
(but it's my personal feeling)but I found dull nammAzhvAr's pAsurams 
on srI vaikuNTam journey compared with pAsurams like "kangulum 
pagalum" which is full of intoxicating love.
