Dear Learned Bhaktas,

For the bhakti-yogi, is it really true that he or she must
pass away during the uttarAyaNa? I know Bhishma waited for
this period, but I was under the impression that Ramanujacharya
has interpreted this metaphorically in the Gitabhashya, and
that death at any time for a bhakti-yogi is OK. In fact, I 
believe Sage Badarayana in the Brahma Sutras quite clearly
says that the time of death is irrelevant to a bhakti-yogi.

Krishna, can you check up on this?

Thanks,
Mani
