Dear Vishnuswami you have asked Now I will ask you one question. The free will or swAtantyram is shed out of our free will or not? The question can be answered in two ways according to the different view points of vadakalai acharyas and thenkalai acharyas. The Lord wold need a reason to shower His Grace. Otherwise He can be accused of partiality to certain souls.Invariably, the jivas have to suffer the cosequences of prarabdha and sanchita Karmas. The Lord ,out of grace has given the ways of Bhakthi and Prapathi to cut short the cycle of births and deaths. Bhakthi and prapathi have the effect of mitigating the prarabdda Karmas which have anyhow to be suffered and removing the sanchita Karmas. The Jivatmas either due to previous good deeds or the Lord's nirhetuka krupai resort to Bhakthi and prapathi.They surrender their free will to the will of the Lord. Bhakthi and prapathi are desirable goals either way. I stand to correction by learned members of the group, Adiyen Ramanujadasan Soundararajan.
