  Sorry for any confusion. Your question was pretty
  much answered by others and adiyEn just wanted to
  share certain information which had good link to 
  the posting made by SrI Bharat. Though it may not
  be answering "Your issue", adiyEn thought that its
  a worthwhile information to be shared with other
  devotees and enjoy the varies commentries. 
    
  adiyEn rAmAnuja dAsan,
  anantapadmanAbhan.
