clarification:SrI rAmAnujAcArya's commentary on vedAnta sUtras.

Dear Ambarish,As far as I know, The aim of a Mumookshu(a person who wishes for

deliverance) is only Nitya Kinkara, that is engaging oneself in the

continuous Service to the Lord in His Abode, Sri Vaikuntam.

This is the Visista Advaita view.

For Visista Advaita, Bhedam(The Individual soul and Suprme soul are

diffferent and their is a Servant- Master relationship between them) is

the hallmark.

Merging one with Lord(jeevan Mukthi) is a concept of Advaitins and not of

Visista Advaita.RegardsKM Narayanan

Thank you very much Sir for your kind reply,

But my source of doubt is coming from this: Recently there were

postings on CMS that SrI MadhvAcArya refuted 21 commentaries on vedhAnta

sUtras including those of SrI rAmAnuja and SrI Samkara and that merging

with viSNu is a concept in the vedAnta sUtra commentary of SrI rAmAnuja.

I wish to know, if this is actually so.(This is pointed out as the most

important difference between dvaita and viSiShta advaita).

I wish to know about it as a dispassionate seeker please don't take

it otherwise.

Om namO nArAyaNa

regards,

AmbarISa
