Dear Sri Sarangan: Thanks for retreiving this 
portion of the posting relevant to the discussion .

Yes, Sri BhAshyam and Srimath Rahasya Thraya Saaram
support this view of the Muktha Jeevan remembering .
Sri Anand's excellent posting gives some of the appropriate 
pramANams.

The answer given by them is : " The MukthA has become 
devoid of all karma and his knowledge has become 
all-pervasive.He sees BhagavAn in every thing and 
every where ". 

All things in the created worlds including his own
previous births are remembered,when needed , as 
the glories of Bhagavan. with this realization , 
the Muktha Jeevan enjoys all and is filled with 
BrahmAnandam . The Muktha Jeevan enjoys all the powers 
of the Lord except the activitiy relating to 
the the world ( its Creation and control). 

When the Muktha Jeevan sees its AchAryan , it remembers 
and out of gratitude salutes Him prior to approaching
the Lord seated on AdhisEshan with His Devis.
