Sri: Srimathe Ramanujaya nama: Dear sri varadarajan, I thought I will share my little understanding on this! I don't think there is pApa/puNya in our SriVaishNava sampradAyam. Take the example of SisupAlan: he had such an enmity towards PerumAL that he was doing japam on KrSNA but still PerumAL granted him mOkshA. Acc. to prabhupAda's interpretation,it's because of sisupAlan's nAma japam that he was granted mOkshA. But we don't believe in that! We are of the view that if PerumAL wants to grant mOkshA HE will,if not HE will not. Even when we choose Him,it's again because of His mercy that we choose Him! We don't choose Him on our own! We are mere tools! I was tempted to say something in relation to charama slOkam but I could be wrong. I leave it to the scholars to give better explanation. If something is wrong in my interpretation,I request the devotees to forgive and also correct me. AzhwAr EmperumAnAr Jeeyar TiruvadigaLE saraNam nappinnai
