Sri:

Sir,

Let me try to share my thoughts on question 1. An answer to this may
lie in the six words provided by Lord Varadaraja to Thirukachi Nambi.
Thirukachi Nambi was one of the early teachers of Sri Ramanuja and a
disciple of Alavandar. Thirukachi Nambi had the unique distinction of
conversing with Lord Varadaraja of Kanchipuram. Ramanuja had a few
questions and requested Thirukachi Nambi to pose those questions to
Lord Varadaraja. The answers provided by Lord Varadaraja is popularly
known as the six words. One of the words provided by the lord was
antima smruthi varjanam: For a prappanan , last rememberence of the
lord is not necessary.

AN another important point I should have made in the beginning itself
is the fact that, according to followers of Ramanuja SIddhantam ,
moksham is not  attained through Jnanam or knowledge. Moksham is
attined through surrender or Prapatti. So this implies that there is
less need for a prapannan to control his senses and perform the
necessary yogas which Lord Krishna was talking about. The prabndham
citation which you had provided alludes to surrender at the feet of
ranganatha as a means to attain moksham.


I hope this helps. I will be glad to hear the thoughts of others.
