Background

Dear Devotees: Namaskara.

The importance of Sri MoolaRamadevaru, the towering personality of Sri Vijayeendrateertharu and the Mahima are described in Mantralaya(836).

Meaning:

Our Peethhaadhipati H.H.Sri Subudhendrateertharu celebrated the Aradhana of our Paramaguruvarenya Sri Vijayeendrateertharu with devotion and grandeur as per the rich heritage and the high tradition of our Moolamahasamsthhaana Mantralaya Sri Rayaramatha in Kumbhakonam on Sunday June 30th2019 Jyeshthha bahula trayodashi. The below shloka in praise of Sri Vijayeendrateertharu is quite appropriate to our Paramaguru.

BHAKTAANAAM MAANASAMBHOJA BHAANAVE KAMADHENAVE
NAMATAAM KALPATARAVE JAYEENDRA GURAVE NAMAHA

Sri Vijayeendrateertharu is Avataara Chetanaru. The incarnation and the embodiment of divine power, bhakti,gnyana,vairagya and abundant imagination of creativity. An unimaginable personality and we say Our SRI VIJAYEENDRATEERTHARU  IS  AVATAARA CHETANARU.

At ShreeRangam  Sri Ramachandrateertharu the 10th pontiff of Hamsanaamaka Paramatma’s Saakshaat Parampara Jagadguru Sri MannMadhwacharyaru’s Moolamahasamsthhaana overwhelmed with joy to look at Sri Raghunathabhattaru, the style of debate and the way of presenting the points of Dwaitism step by step and finally upheld the principles of our Acharya Sri Madhwaryaru  in the midst of thick gathering of great scholars. Amazed for the extraordinary scholarship and asked to come with him to Yeragol. Sri Raghunathabhattaru agreed and reached Yeragol with Sri Raghunathabhattaru. Next day expressed Sri Ramachandrateertharu his desire that Sri Raghunathabhattaru should become his successor. Completed the formalities of Sanyas pradaana and performed the pattabhisheka and did the Naamakarana as SRI VIBUDHENDRATEERTHARU with grandeur and devotion. That day the new successor SRI VIBUDHENDRATEERTHARU performed the pooja of Sri MoolaRamadevaru.  The happiness and joy of Sri Ramachandrateertharu knew no bonds! Greatly satisfied that the Peethha will be in the safe hands. Circumstances came in such a way that Sri Vibudhendrateertharu should go to North Varnasi to participate in the debate of Dwaita and Adwaita. Sri Ramachandrateertharu owing to the strain and the age factor requestedhis beloved successor Sri Vibudhendrateerthau to attend. In those in north the Shaivas were strong and powerful, always they were inviting the Dwaita pontiffs to the debate.

Sri Vibudhendrateertharanu taking the Blessings of his Guru reached Varnasi and participated in the debate. Achieved great victory in the debate, rushed to Yeragol with all the felicitations and the certificates to offer to the lotus feet of his Guru Sri Ramachandrateertharu! But the sankalpa and the desire of Sri Hari was altogether a different one! Amazed and felt extremely sorry to look at the Brindavana of Sri Ramachandrateertharu and a Tulu acharya of Shiroorumatha Sri Krishnacharya was the peethhaadhipati by name SRI  VIDYANIDHITEERTHARU! Felt extremely sorry to look at the Brindavana of his Guru Sri Ramachandrateertharu in Yeragol. When sending him he bade farewell with a smile! Remembering all this offered Regards with tears. Though Sri Vibudhendrateertharu was Ashrama Jyeshthharu  Sri Vidyanidhi did not spoke even a single word. With a heavy heart reached the abode of Ahobala Kshetra and sat for Japaanushthhaana of Sri Narasimhadevaru! Sri Narahari highly pleased to the seva of Sri Vibudhendrateertharu. Sri Narasimhaswami appeared in the dream sharp to the Brahmee muhurta and said, Do not worry I am with you always. Tomorrow morning at the time of the holy dip, you will get in your hand the sacred  idol of Shdashabaahu Sri Narasimhadevaru. Start worshipping you are completely Blessed. The Akshaya Anugraha of Sri Narahari was really a BOON to our Mahaangnyani Sri Vibudhendrateertharu. Actually it happened as per the wordings of Sri Narahari. The mode of life of Sri Vibudhendrateertharu changed! Became bold and courageous. Owing to the amazing talent, imagination  and knowledge began Sanchaara! Reached Vijayanagara empire. Kings greatly impressed to the Bhakti Vairaagya Gyana Paanditya  and Pratibha, honoured and felicitated immensely. Gifted lands including wet lands, villages and wealth.

The same thing continued where ever Sri Vibudhendrateertharu did sanchaara. Thus our Moolapurusha of our Hamsanaamaka Paramatma’s Saakshhat Parampara of Jagadguru Sri MannMadhwacharyaru continued the Matha and named as Vidyamatha  Sri Vibudhendrateerthamatha. Not only continued shined meticulously through out the length and the breadth of our country, where ever Swamiji went welcomed warmly and successful in the debate. Everybody nodded and praised. Thus our Vidyamatha is a record in the history of our Dwaitha Peethha. Though Swamiji earned name, fame and wealth, the desire of the Pooja of  Sri Vedavyasa Sri Narahari Manthhanadamakara Sri Krishna Krishnatmaka Raghupati Sri MoolaRamadevaru increased day by day and expressed the same to his successor Sri Rudramsha Sri Jitamitrateertharu. Thus  Sri Raghunandanateertharu came to know and accepted the Pooja from Sri Raghunandanateertharu! It is heartening to know that Sri Raghunandanateertharu the 13th pontiff from Sri MannMadhwacharyaru fully acquired the Siddhi and the Punya of SRI RAMA JAYARAMA JAYA JAYA RAMA thirteen letters - alphabets of Devanaagari. The strong desire of worshipping SRI MOOLARAMADEVARU paved the way for the rebirth of Sri Vibudhendrateertharu in Nagalapura as Vithala near Hampi and Kanakagiri. Aparokshagnyani Sri Vyasarajateerthara came to know all this and accepted Vithala as his Shishya – dear shishya and named as Sri Vishnuteertharu and acquired the Purnaanugraha of Sri Vyasarajarateertharu in Hampi. Sri Surendrateertharu accepted and made Sri Vishnuteertharu as his successor named as Sri Vijayeendrateertharu as per the wordings and the opinion of Sri Vyasarajateertharu.  Further said that Sri Jitamitrateertharu the successor of Sri Vibudhendrateerthau has taken rebirth as Sri Narayanacharya should be made as the uttaraadhikaari successor of  Sri Vijayeendrateertharu and named as Sri Sudheendrateertharu!

EE YELLA VISHAYAVANU TILISIDARU SRI VYASARAYARU
SRI SURENDRATEERTHARIGE! AVARA SAMMUKHADALE YELLAVOO JARUGITU!

Sri Vyasarajateertharu  said that I myself worshipping Sri Krishna right now is desirous of worshipping  Sri MoolaRamadevaru and will be the successor of Sri Sudheendrateertharu in SRI RAGHAVENDRA  AVATAARA.

Paramaguru Sri Vijayeendrateertharu  Guru Sri Sudheendrateertharu and Sri Raghavendrateertharu Saakshaat Sri Vyasarajaru Sri Bahleekarajaru Sri Prahaladarajaru, the cordial relationship binding is full of Daivatva Sinchana! Really amazing! The sentence of Sri Appanacharyaru in Gurustotra is of great significance:

SRI VIJAYEENDRA KARAABJOTHHA SUDHEENDRA VARAPUTRAKAHA

Sri Vibudhendrateerthamatha Vidyamatha Kumbhakona Sri Vijayeendrateertharu’s Vidyamatha Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateerthaswamiji’s RAYARAMATHA is for the uddhaara of the devotees of this universe. Protecting like a Rakshakavacha. Today  Mantralaya  Punyakshetra Siddhikendra is the sacred ALMAMATER of our devotees of this universe.

Stalwart of Shaiva Sri Lingaraja accepted the defeat  from Sri Vijayeendrateertharu as per the agreement Sri Lingaraja offered his Lingarajamatha to Matha to Sri Vijayeendrateertharu. Always a winner owing to the abundant Anugraha of Sri Hari. Now I wish to a share a great Miracle of our Paramaguru Sri Vijayeendrateertharu. Always with a smile Sri Vijayeendrateertharu was very popular mixing and interacting with all including the Adwaitees.

Once on the day of Vaishaakha Shukla Pournima Sri Vijayeendrateertharu and Sri Sudheendrateertharu were on the bank of sacred Kaveri for Dandodaka Prokshana. Owing to the Vyasapournima large number of devotees gathered. Sri Vijayeendrateertharu at a too far distance saw a brahmin was standing. Recognised that the brahmin is none but Sri Appaya Dixit, humorously in teracted Oh! Dixit you have come or Dandodaka Prokshana. Dixitaji in this world the  Praarabdhakarma will not spare anybody! Why what happened to whom! You see even to me the Praarabdhakarma will not spare! Soon I will get fever with  shivering cold, saying this Sri Vijayeendrateertharu shivered with cold while performing the Dandodaka Prokshana. Everybodyworried a lot, what about the next how our swamji will continue the routine of Samsthhaana pooja of Sri MoolaRamadevaru etc. Dixit also worried looking at Sri Vijayeendrateertharu. Swamij took a piece of cloth and took it on his shoulder, after a while simply removed that piece of cloth, that continued shivering incessantly. After the Samsthhaana pooja and all at leisure Sri Vijayeendrateertharu again took back the shivering cloth on his back. The whole body of Swamiji started shivering as before. Sri Vijayeendrateertharu had the power to transfer the shivering to the cloth and again getting back. Because the Praarabdha has to be experienced. Appayya Dixit surprised to witness all this!

CHAKTARARAADARU APPAYYA DIXITARU!
TATAHA KAALANTARE VAADEE APPAYYA DEEKSHITA ITI VISHRUTAHA
VIJAYEENDRA MUNER GNYANAM SHRUTWAA VISMITA MAANASAHA

Aparokshagnyani Sri Vijayeendrateertharu master of all the 64 Kalas. .Gnyani Medhaavi a great imaginative creativity with abundant knowledge. The credit of 104 Krutees goes to ourMahaan  Paramaguru Sri Vijayeendrateertharu. Avataara Chetanaru our Moolapurusha Sri Vibudhendrateertharu Sanyasasweekara, Pattaabhisheka,  Ashramanaama Pradaana by Sri Ramachandrateertharu went on well as per our tradition and sadaachaara everything is proper regularized and approved by his dearest guru Sri Ramachandrateertharu! When he is residing in the brindavana who else has to come to rectify and regualrise the things in the right way.
