Anandhazhwan says

Bhagavtha Ramanuja is very compassionate to those who surrender to him with unswerving faith and devotion and blesses them with Bhagavath and Bhagavatha kainkarya opportunities

Bhagavath Ramanuja is very capable of handling both non-believers and believers with doubts ina skill full way with his intellectual mastery.

Srimana Narayanan is so compassionate to his devotees. He is just waiting for call from a totally surrendered devotee. Gajendra tried to fight the crocodile valiantly for a long time when he is about to lose himself he remembers Sriman Narayana and shouts loudly "Aathi Moolame"  Sriman Narayana, it is believed left his Ananthasayanam got on Garuda's shoulders and arrived on scene where he saw Gajendra's plight. and kills the crocodile with his Sudarshana Chakra and saves Gajendra. Distance and time of call was not a criteria but call from a distressed and fully surrendered Baktha was sufficient.

Prahalada had utmost faith in Lord Sriman Narayana. He believed that Sriman Narayana is omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscience. He is sarva Vyapi and when Hirayakasipu, Prahalad's father demands to know if Lord Srimana Narayana is in the Pillar. Prahalad Replies "Thunilum Iruppaan Thurumbilum Iruppan". Just to prove this faith of this young boy, Sriman Narayana taking Narasimha Avathar emeges from the pillar and kills Hirayakasipu after meeting all his conditions as per boon he had.  This incident shows That Lord Srimana Narayana would go to any extent to those devotees who had full faith, Bakthi and surrendered to him

In the case of Draupathi, she was trying to call Lord Krishna when she was in distress calling out for Dwarakanatha, Brindavana Vasi. Krishna took his time. Finally she realized that there is no one other than Lord Krishna could save her, she reaches out to the in-dweller Lord Krishna Calling out Hrudaya Nivasi. Krishna comes to her rescue with copious supply of vastram and tiring out Duschaasana. This incident implies the Lord resides in us  may be a few inches from our lips. Just reaach out to the in dweller with constant Nama Smarana.

Just the above thoughts in the form of a song.  

Embar enjoys the beauty of Bhagavath Ramanuja
