The prime focus of spiritual literature is to make individuals aware of the main and ultimate purpose of life, salvation. In this context, great realised souls have spoken of the value of Antima Kala Smarana, that is, the thoughts that prevail at the moment when life leaves the body. In the Bhagavad Gita, the Lord emphasises that if one leaves the body thinking of Him, one surely attains Him. According to Upanishad statements that describe the way life departs from the body, it is shown that first speech or Vak stops and then the mind becomes still and then the prana gets ready to leave the body.

The concept of Ishta devata in worship is indicative of the Supreme Lord’s many ways to reach out to the jivatmas and enable them to worship Him according to their individual level of realisation. In this context, it is interesting to note that Appayya Dikshitar exemplifies staunch Siva Bhakti, said Sri Mani Dravid Sastrigal in a discourse. From early childhood he had exceptional faith in Siva and in the Advaita system of philosophy, which he explained with great clarity in his many works. But he also had an open mind in his approach to Vedanta Sastra. So he was able to analyse other systems such as Dvaita or Visishtadvaita and pinpoint the salient features in each without any dvesha or prejudice.
