[sri ramanuja] Mukti/Liberation! Is it that cheap?

[Guest guest]

Dear Swamin,

What you have mentioned is so true and the quote is an excellent one.

I just read the vyAkyAnam for the same from a book published by P.B

Swamy and it is so clear. Would recommend to others to read the

vyAkyAnam too.

 

I am closing this discussion from my side and apologise for any

inconvenience caused.

 

adiyEn,

dAsan
