 Dear Sriman Shruti,
As per Sriman Ramanuja, the "jivana mukti" concept is untenable.The Jivatma as long as embodied in the mortal coil (prAkruta sharIra) will not able to attain a fully liberated state. This is true irrespective of the level of knowledge & devotion an individual may possess.
As per Sriman Ramanuja, the jIvAtma will be bound by prakruti/karmA as long as it is associated with the mortail coil.
Request other bhaktas to validate..........

Kindly address this question.

I believe I have read in a number of places that according to Sri Ramanuja's 
doctrine jivana-mukti (embodied or "living" liberation) is an untenable 
doctrine, that only videha-mukti is plausible.

Is this the accepted conclusion?

I thank you in advance,

Jagadish Dasa
