Yes, this is a valid point indeed. It is the effect of the yugam, I think. Sri Keshava bhakthi is said to be obtained when the paapa karma accumulated across births decreases and moves towards zero. So, it is pretty clear that these creatures have not reached that stage yet. Wonder what is in store for them! Pitiful condition!

If you are familiar with Tamil language, please get a copy of Sri Vishnu Sahasranama vilakka urai by Sri U.Ve. V V Ramanujam Swami. This book explains the meaning of entire Vishnu Sahasranamam as per the incomparable commentary called "Bhagavad Guna Darpana" graced by revered Sri Parashara Bhattar (one of the Sri Vaishnavaite Acharyas).

Or you may also get backdated copies of the Geethacharyan magazine where say 5-6 thirunamams and Their meanings are listed in every issue.

Wish you all the best!

I believe Sri Aandaal chose this month as the Lord has mentioned that He is Maargazhi in months in the Geetha (Adhyaayam 10).
