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.
