On the eve of Aashaadha Bahula Panchami the Six Hundred
and Thirty Seventh Aaraadhana Mahotsava-Celebrations
at Malkhed are described in Jaiteertha
Vijaya(10).
The end of Uttarayana
welcomes Dakshinayana and Chaaturmaasa
begins.That means the four months of Rainy Season.As the Mansoon will be
active generally
pontiffs
will not undertake Sanchara during Chaaturmaasa. They select and stay in one place performing
and preaching Vrata-Niyama-Pooje-Purana-Pravachana.Thus
the
propagation
of Religious Values to the Betterment of
Mankind. This is the aim and motto of all the Swamijis.
In Mantralaya and Malkhed
we can find Nityotsava, Daily Celebrations and Functions.
The Pathana of Vedaghosha will be echoing there. These are the ways and
means to become Dear to Sri Hari.
Without caring the demerits of climate they simply participate in Understanding
the Tatva (Philosophy) of Sri Madhwacharya
nod their heads and bow their hearts.
Aashaadha Bahula Panchami the Aaraadhana in Malkhed. Did a great task of writing Teekas to the Granthas of Sri Madacharya. A great stalwart-Avatara
Purusha-Indramsha- Shesha Aavesha.Jaiteertharu is nothing but a collection of Jaya(Victory).
Adorned the Devi Saraswati
with the Teekas(commentary) and became Kruta-Krutya.The
main duty of the Avatara is completed. I must leave
this world: So Jaiteertharu decided on this Aashaadha Bahula Panchami and entered Brindavana
while he was alive ,near his great Guru Sri Akshobhyateerthara Brindavana in Malkhed on the bank of Kagina.Though
Sri Jaiteertharu disappeared from our eyes, Jaiteertharu is always Chiranta-Chinmaya
in our
inward
eyes and hearts. On this day we observe Aaraadhana of
Sri Jaiteertharu. .After Brindavana
Pravesha the serpents and the serpents hood appeared
on the Brindavana.Even to this day we can see.Thus Sri Teekaraya made it
clear to the world that He is Shesha Aavesha.In the house of Mangalavedhe Sri Jaiteertharu gave Divya Darshana of Shesha Aavesha.that is still
green in the memory of the Devotees.
Today
is the Six Hundred and Thirty Seventh years Aaraadhana
of Sri Jaiteertharu.Poorva Aaraadhana
at Yergol on Chaturthi.We
will never forget Yergol.The lonely,calm and quiet place, where Jaiteertharu
wrote Teekas and Sudha. Panchami Madhya Aaraadhana
Celebrations at Malkhed is full of Grand and Grandeur.For Rathotsava Devotees
from all parts of India rush to Malkhed and line up
to participate in Malkhed.The Devotees humming sound
of Malkhed-Malkhed is really soothing.During
Rathotsava Bhajan,they
actually
dance with ecstasy of Devotion, and thus be grateful.Though
dizzling showers are there Devotees will never care.
They simply involve and carry on the celebrations. Owing to the First Chaaturmaasa Vrata,as
no vegetables and coconuts are not allowed only Kattu-Hittu(Rice-Dal),Devotees eat this as Divya Prasada.The Regardful Mantra of OM SRI JAITEERTHA GURUBHYO
NAMAHA will be echoing on the bank of Kagina at Malkhed. Malkhed Jaiteertharu with the
Commentary-Teeka has made us to understand the
teachings of Sri Anandateertharu.
A Great Personlaity-A Great
Soul-Punyatma-Divyatma.
is our Malkhed Sri Jaiteertha Yativarya.
