Background

Sri Raghavendra Swamy 403rd Pattahbisheka Utsava , Varadhanti Utsava  and greatness of Sri Rayaru described in Mantralaya(1080) .

Meaning

Mantralaya is set to commemorate the Sri Raghavendra Guru Vaibhavotsava, featuring the 403rd Pattabhisheka Utsava of Sri Raghavendra Swamy on March 12th, 2024, and the 429th Varadhanti Utsava (Birthday of Rayaru) on March 16th, 2024. Annually, Sri Subhudendra Teertharu orchestrates the Sri Raghavendra Guru Vaibhavotsava in a majestic manner, enveloping Mantralaya in Vedic chants and resonant recitations of "Om Sri RaghavendraYa Namaha."

I would like to incorporate my father Sri Raghavendra Patwari’s poignant article on Mantralaya (1068), which eloquently portrays Rayaru's boundless compassion.

Tirumala Swami Sri Srinivasadevaru gladly accepted the Bhaktipurassara Seva of  Veena Timmannabhattaru and Gopamma. Appeared in the dream and said that you will be blessed with a son Kuloddhaaraka Suputra and Shine your family on this world. As per the Abhaya of Swami the noble couple soon on the day of Phaalguna Shukla Saptami Gopikamba gave birth to a child early in the morning. After the naming ceremony as Venkatanatha to the child, Timmannabhattaru went to Tirumala along with Gopamma, Venkatanatha, Gururaja and Venkatamba, took the child on the stretched two hands and Prayed to Lord Sri Srinivasa with devotion is highly appreciable, that the child Venkatanatha should became a great devotee like Bhakta Prahladaru and acquire Knowledge and Vairaagya like Sri Vyasarajaru. Swami listened to the prayer of the noble parents and said Tathhaastu !  That really became true.
