Srimathe Rangaramanuja Mahadesikaya Namaha
Keeping Perumal Preethi as one purpose, By adhering to Ekadashi vrathams (fasting) our body is detoxified which extends life eventually.
* While we find Azhwars and AchAryAs requesting for shorter life to reach Perumal sooner.
*While Thirumalai Nambi Swamy (if adiyen remember correctly) says if this body snake wins kainkaryam is at Tirumala if real.snake wins Kainkaryam at Srivaikuntam. (Leave life as it is)
*Adiyen cannot find example of extending life request to Perumal
While waking up we should think, this body snake still alive?
So what’s the purpose? To be alive or not? To be alive itself a great favour by Perumal as we are getting opportunity to do karma?
Please clarify Swamy, why should be in vrathams etc while we are not interested in this life anymore?
