Srimad Venkata Lakshmana Yativaraya Namah.
Sri Rukmini Sameta Sri Parthasarathy Swamine Namah.

Dear Sriman Reddy garu,

As I once wrote in the list, Goddess Lakshmi is  eternally with Sriman Narayana. in every kalpa, Lord takes the form of KsheerabdhinAtha  (Lord of pAla samudram) to rule the material
world. Then She incarnates to marry Him. According to Vishnu PurANa, She first incarnated as satI dEvI. She falls into the milky ocean out of Her own will when Her father Bhrugu curses Lord Vishnu to have bhAryA viyOgam or separation from His consort. this was because of Lord Vishnu's chakra killing Bhrugu's wife KhyAti, when she provided shelter to some demons chased by the chakra in her ASrama.

Dear Sriman Venkatesh,

As you have said, only emberumAn can make up for the loss of a Parama Bhagavatottama like Sriman Gopalacharya swami. I was lucky to speak to this great scholar once in Sri Chinna Jeeyar Sanndihi. 

Swami is the true example of Sri GItAchArya's Srisookti:

"mahAtmAnstu mAm pArthah
daivIm prakrutimASritah
Bhajantyananya manasO
gnAtvA bhUtAdimavyayam"

For a great AchArya like Sriman Gopalacharya, leaving this earth will not make any difference, as he will be worshipping the same gOvindarAja in paramapadam with same level of devotion.
