Bhikshaalaya Darshana-3
(Mantralaya Rayaru’s stay in Kumbhakonam)
Date : 13 July
2006
Background
The busy Schedule of Sri Appanacharyaru
in Bhikshaalaya and Mantralaya Rayaru’s stay in Kumbhakonam are described
in Bhikshaalaya(3).
Meaning
The Gurukula -school-university of Sri
Appanacharya was fully blossomed in Bhikshaalaya in the midst of nature.
The teaching of Vedas, Upanishadas, Shastras were all in accordance with
the sachchhastra of Sri Madacharya. The Natural pure environment has further
purified the heart and mind of the students. Sri Appanacharya was found
always with his beloved students and liked their company very much.
A born teacher with full of knowledge and imagination. A great orator an
extempore writer spontaneously on any subject (Aashu Kavitva). Though
the personality of Sri Appanacharya is of this stature , he never exhibited
his pride, greatness and made the show of his knowledge. Very easily accessible
to all the sajjanas, satvikas, devotees in general and the students
in particular. Appanacharya was like a Banana tree full of Bananas. The
banana bows and bends when it adorns the fruits. This type of personality
of Gurudeva,Acharya,Bhiksahaalaya Sri Appanacharya is highly remarkable.
Never tired of teaching, taught with affection and devotion. The fortune
and punya of the students of Sri Appanacharya cannot be described in words.
Day and night the routine of Sri Appanacharya
was the worship of Goddess Saraswati that is teaching and preparing his
students in studies. The students after the completion of their studies
were reluctant to separate from their Guru Appanacharya and Bhikshaalaya,
what an amount of love and affection the students had in their hearts towards
their Guru. When we simply imagine this scene, our heart fills with joy,
regard and respect to this great Guru of Bhikshaalaya Sri Appanacharya.
Again the flow of new shishyas
growing in number at the sanctum of Bhikshaalaya on the sacred bank of
Tungabhadra. As the river water is sweet, the Guru’s lessons were much
more sweeter than the water. The Shishyakoti of Sri Appanacharya were capable
of Madhwa Sanchara - the propagation of Sri Madacharya Philosophy. Harisarvottama
and Vayujeevottama. Sri Appanacharya we can say was very famous and
popular in those days for Hari bhakti, knowledge and sachchhastra. Sri
Appanacharya was completely involved in his own world of Knowledge at JAPADAKATTE
in Bhikshaalaya.
On the other side our Sri Raghavendrateertharu
was in Kumbhakonam. Rayaru completed the Yatra of all the punya kshetras.
Owing to the improper means of transport facilities and comforts
the yatra took years together.
Where ever Sri Rayaru went propagated
and upheld the Dwaita Siddhaanta and brought the satvikas in the fold of
Hari Bhakti. Served the sajjanas,satvikas benefitted a lot and planted
the saplings of Bhakti-Hari Bhakti. During yatra also Rayaru was indulged
in consoling the devotees,adhyayana-adhyaapana and engaged in creative
writing. The routine of Rayaru is a model to the universe. In Kumbhakonam
Sri Raghavendrateertharu performed the Seva of Sri Vijayeendrateerthara
Brindavana whole heartedly and highly satisfied with gratitude. The personality
of Rayaru is nothing but the incarnation of the essence of Hari Bhakti.
Long back Rayaru had been to near
by Adoni during Sanchara. At that time Rayaru blessed the cattle
rear Venkanna. By the blessings of Rayaru and chanting OM SRI RAGHAVENDRAAYA
NAMAHA Venkanna phase by phase became the Diwan of Nawab and was
called as Diwan Venkanna Panth. After the completing the yatras when Rayaru
was in Kumbhakonam, Rayaru desired to go to Adoni near by Manchale Bichchale
and see Venkanna. So Rayaru sent the message to Venkanna that he
is coming ! Venkanna the Architect of Sri Math became extremely happy and
was eager to welcome Rayaru ...will be continued in the next Mantralaya
