Mantralaya-702

(The Mahimapurna avatara of Sri Bahleekarajaru and the importance of Hastodaka)

Date : Dec 22, 2016

Background

Dear Devotees : Namaskara.
 
Sri Prahladarajaru’s stotra as per the order of Sri Mahalaxmi, swami Sri Hari Sri Narasimhadeva highly pleased and immediately cooled down:
 
UGRAM VEERAM MAHAVISHNUM JWALANTAM SARVATOMUKHAM
NARASIMHAM BHEESHANAM BHADRAM MRUYTUM MRUYTUM NAMAAMAYAHAM
 
Sri Vishnu took the ugra roopa of Sri Narasimha the fury of anger spread all over like a fire. Sri Narahari is harsh to the wicked and the evils. Swami is too kind and affectionate to the devotees always blessing auspiciously. Sri Hari’s Narasimha avataara is so powerful that Swami is Mrutyu even to the Mrutyu.
 
Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha gurusarvabhoumaru practically experienced in Sri Prahlada avatara. This is Mahima of our Mantralaya Rayaru.
 
The whole hearted affectionate blessings of Sri Sudheendrateertharu is to be carved in the hearts of our Mantralaya devotees.

Surendravadaya Tapasyayaa Jayeendramiva Keerti Sampadaa
Vishrutoahamiva Vaadasangare Raghavendra Yatiraat Samedhataam
 
You become a great Maanasapoojaa Yogi Tapasvi like Sri Surendrateertharu. Earn wealth  and fame like Sri Vijayeendrateertharu. In the debate of Dwaita Adwaita vaada vivaada  you will always be victorious .Earn fame and name  like me. All these noble qualities inherit in you for the lokoddhaara. This Anugraha became fruitful and true to our Rayar. The second shloka of Mangalashtaka of Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharyaru is quite meaningful.

The mahimapurna avatara of Sri Bahleekarajaru and the importance of Hastodaka are described in Mantralya(702).

Meaning

After naivedya samarpana to Sri Hari, a part of the rice is to be taken as Ramaa Naivedya. We keep in two parts and some will keep in three parts. Two parts is sufficient. One part will be offered to Agnideva as vaishwadeva  taking the names of  all the Gods – Sanakaadi  rushivararu  Ashwini devata, Sri Madhwacharyaru, Sri Jaiteertharu , from Sri Vibudhendrateertharu , Sri Jitamitrateertharu, Sri Raghunandanateertharu, Sri Surendrateertharu , Sri Vijayeendrateertha Sri sudheendrateertha  Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Sri Vadeendrateertharu etc. we offer with devotion Hastodaka - Hastodaka Samarpana. Mantralaya devotees follow this protocol sincerely and honestly with great devotion and dedication. Such sacred, holy  and punyaprada HASTODAKA SEVANA is the prime and the important duty to our Mantralaya devotees.
RAMAA BRAHMADI YEVA DEVAHA SANAKAADAYAHA
 
SRI NARASIMHA PRASADOYAM SARVE GHRANTU VAISHNAVA
YATI HASTE JALAM DADYAAT BHAIKSHAM DADYAAT PUNARAPI JALAM
TADANNAM MERUNAA TULYAM TATJALAM SAAGAROPAMAM
YATR YATI BHUNKTE TATRA HARIHI BHUMKTE TATRA BHUNKTE JAGAT TRAYAM
 
It is paining to write that there are some hardcore pandits that they refuse to eat Hastodaka and will not accept. They say that the Hastodaka is Uchchisthha Anna it means the remaining eaten food. Mantralaya devotees pity to this kind of action and the way of thought of hardcores and the non acceptance of Hastodaka. At the abode of Tirumala sanctum after taking the divya darshana of Sri Srinivasadevaru, cooked rice, puliyogara, chitraana,paayaasa will be given to all. It is the form of Prasada  Anugraha of Sri Venkateshwara swami. The hardcore pandits and acharyas will not eat and say that Ashuchi. The Adityapurana  shloka 
 
VAIRAAGYA BHAKTI SATWAADIPRADENDRIYA VASHAPRADAM
VENKATAADROW SHUCHI KSHETRE ASHUCHI DOSHO NA VIDYATE
TASMAAT VENKATANATHASYA BHUKSHESHO GRAAHYAMUTTAMAHA
TENAKSHEMAM PRAJAANAAM HI VIPAREETO VIPRAYAHA
 
At he punakara sannidhana of Tirumala there is no ashuchi, as our heart, mind and all our panchendriyas are fully governed by bhakti gnyana and vairagya all the panchendriyas are under the control of bhakti vairagya.  VENKATAADROW SHUCHI KSHETRE ASHUCHI DOSHO NA VIDYATE So in Tirumala on the bank of pushkarini on the top of seven hills there is no Ashuchi, always MADI pure and sacred
 
VENKATAADROW SHUCHI KSHETRE ASHUCHI DOSHO NA VIDYATE
 
Dear world Mantralaya devotees in Tirumala   owing to the Aavaasa  of Sri Hari the whole atmosphere is soothing,  parisara  nairmalya is at its highest. Tirumala is Shwetadweepa  kseerasaagara Anantaasana Vaikunthha! Sanakaadi able and the noble  Rushis sannidhaana, the word VAIKUNTHHA  BHOOVAIKUNTHHA is quite appropriate. No discrimination of caste,creed,religion,nation, gender and age. It is foolishness to suspect Shuchi and Ashuchi. We have to giveup our narrow mindedness - Koopamandooka bhava. We must have magnanimity and broadmindedness. Offer our regards facing to  ksheerssaagara. Mantralaya devotees respect humanity and thus aspire to reach the divinity. In this way Mantralaya devotees try to acquire  SARVAARTHHA SIDDHI.
 
I wish to share the great importance  of divine personality of  Sri Bahleekarajaru, the elder brother of  Sri Shantanu maharaja, the father of Sri Bheeshmaru. Prateeparaja had three sons, they are  Devaapi   Bahleeka  Shantanu. As Devaapi was not healthy, he went to the forest to perform Tapa and Japa. Before the avataara of  Sri Vedavyasaru, Sri Bahleekarajaru was ruling the kingdom of Bahleeka. His grandfather, mother’s father adopted him in accordance with  PUTRIKAA PUTRA NYAAYA. So as the king of Bahleeka ruled . Became highly popular owing to the affection, kind heart and kind concern  Bahleekarajaru shined like a star with these great qualities. Dushta shiksha and  shishta paripaalana is the rule and the sankalpa of Sri Hari.  So our Sri  Prahladarajaru again took  avataraas Sri Bahleekarajararu. During his birth a great miracle took place. As soon as Sri Bahleekarajaru was born a great sound was heard and crack appeared on the  land - Bhoomi. It is the symbol and the symptom that the child is strong.  his itself is a witness that Sri Bahleekarajaru is Sri Vayudeva aaveshayuktaru.
 
VAYUNAA CHA SAMAAVISHTAHA MAHABAASAMNVITAHA
 
What more is required ! This is the second avatara of Sri Shankukarnaru. Owing to all this in the last Sri Raghavendra avataara  engaged in Akhanda Deegha Japa in Mantralaya on the sacred bank of Tungabhadra Though Sri Narahari Blessed Rayaru to live in Mantralaya for 700 years for the uddhaara of satvika sajjana devotees, Rayaru preferred to follow manudharma and yatidharma and became invisible in the garbhaalaya and sit for deergha akhanda japa for 700 yeas and help the devotees in many ways. Garbhaalaya is covered with koormaasana and the bhavya divya neela brindavana is on this garbhaalaya since 445 years. Sri Raghavendrateertharu is in AKHANDA DEERGHA JAPA OF SRI HARI. Quite comfortable vayuaaveshayukta Rayaru.  BRINDAVNADADI VAYUDEVARA AAVESHAYUKTARU SUKHAROOPARU CONTINUOUSLY FOR  700 YEARS FOR OUR UDDHAARA. IT IS GREAT BOON TO ALL OF US. Fortune and the luck of the world devotees. Rayaru is kalpavruksha kamadhenu and chintamani. We are amazed to that Karmaja devata performed the seva of Sri Hari in all the four avataaras. Aaraadhakaru bhaktaru nityopaasakaru Sri Prahalada Sri Bahleeka Sri Vyasaraja Sri Raghavendrateerthar. The first two avataaras as the king ad the last two avataaras as  yatiraat gururaat and  Vedantha samraajya’s paramahamsacharyaru. We are highly grateful and indebted towards all the four avataaras as  PARAMA BHAAGAVATOTTAMARU.
