Vijayeendra Vaibhav-3

(Development of Mathas for Madhwa propagation)

Date : Oct 13  2006

Background

Sri Vibhudhendrateertharu left  Yergol for Madhwa Sanchara, the development of the Mathas for the propagation of Sri Harisarvottama and Vayujeevottama are described  here in the series of Mantralaya(148) ­ Sri Vijayeendra Vaibhava(3).

Meaning

It is quite heartening to know that the beginning of the eastern ghat is from Yergol  and has stretched upto Sri Shailam, further joined the abode of Tirumalai Hills.  Our Yergol is such a sacred sanctum due to the long stay of Sri Jaiteertharu .Twelve hilly rocks joined together and a cave is formed,  we can find profound and immense silence(prashaantatae).The Yergol cave is in the shape of a shankha. As already said, previously it was the Ashrama of Shankha Rishi, very famous in those days. Our Malkhed  Sri Jaiteerhtaru composed all the Teekas-commentaries for the works of Sri Srimadacharya there. Sri Ramachandrateertharu’s  Brindavana is there in the sanctum of Prana Devaru on the bank of the Yergol tank.

Sri Vibudhendrateertharu after making all the pooja arrangements of Brindavana left the sacred Sanctum for Madhwa Sanchara. The main aim  and the motto of the Yatis is to propagate the philosophy of Sri Anandateertharu to the whole world and establish the knowledge and wisdom of Sri Hari Bhakti.Sri Vibudhendraru thought that this is the most dearest work for his Guru. Where ever Sri Vibydhendrateertharu went received a warm welcome and simply the sajjanas came in the folds of Sri Harisarvottamatva. Several became his followers. Received the gift of land, village and wealth. In the debate of Dwaita-Adwaita Sri Vibudhendrateertharu was second to none. The popularity of Sri Vibudhendrateertharu grew by leaps and bounds. Imparted all the knowledge of vedas,shastras, tatvas and the essence of Sri Madacharya Philosophy to the great Sri Laxminarayana muni.

On the other side Sri Vidyanidhiteertharu went sanchara and developed the parampara with the followers.Thus the tenth Yativarya Sri Ramachandrateertharu’s  Shishya  Sri Vibudhendrateertharu and Sri Vidyanidhiteertharu developed two individual Mathas. The noble task of propagation of Sri Madacharya Tatvas thus gained much more momentum, as per the will and wish of Sri Hari. Sri Vibudhendrateertharu was in search  an able successor who can rule, guide and shine the Mahasamsthhaana Matha, and found an extra-ordinary personality Sri Jitamitraru, a pandit,a gnyaani,a great Haribhakta,vairagyashiromani. Made him as his successor-the twelfth pontiff Sri Jitamitrateertharu. In the Holy Task of Madhwa Tatva Prasaara he was Jitaru-Mitraru.  Always victorious and friendly. On Margasheersha Dashami on the bank of the Tamraparni river at Tirunelvelli Sri Vibhudhendrateertharu attained the lotus feet of Sri Hari and his Brindavana is there.

Sri Jitamitrateertahru  took the respobnsibilty of the Sri Matha and started the routine as per the wish of Guru Sri Vibudhendrateertharu. During the Sanchara Sri Jitamitrateertharu had been to Bhikshaalaya  Japadakatte which is situated on the bank of the Tungabhadra river, amidst the Nature’s beauty and profound silence. The twelfth Yativarya Sri Jitamitrateertharu gave his heart to the Sanctum of Bhikshaalaya Japadakatte and stayed there for a few days. Near the Japadakatte did the Pratishthaapana of Sri Shesha Devaru. As a result of this today we find innumerable Shila Sheshas there. Further the Japadakatte became Sacred by Sripadarajaru, Sri Vyasarajaru,Sri Appanacharya and the Ekshila Brindavana of Mantralaya Rayaru. Today SheshaDevaru is the watch and guard to protect the Sanctity of Bhikshaalaya. It is very Sacred to know that Sri Jitamitrateertharu took Avatara-Janma as Sri Sudheendrateertha and became Ashrama Guru to our Sri Raghavendrateertharu., will be described in detail in the next series.

Sri Jitamitrateertharu made Sri Raghunandanateertharu as his successor. A great Scholar well versed in Chaturopaaya. Always  in the Seva of Sri Madacharya and Sri Moola Rama Devaru.

Sri Jitamitrateertharu a great Chetana,Haribhakta of Sri Hari lived actually in the Krishna river completely immersed in water for seven days and seven nights.then he came out of the river sacred pontiff in the parampara of our Dwaita peetha-Rayara Matha.

Sri Jitamitrateertharu attained the Lotus feet of Sri Hari  under the Sacred tree in the Kadlur Village Sangama. It is famous and well known as Jitamitragaddi. Sri Vibudhendrateertharu gave Ashrama to Sri Jitamitrateertharu.Jitamitrateertharu gave Ashrama to Sri Raghnandanateertharu. Sri Raghunandanateertharu gave Ashrama to Sri Surndrateertharu. Sri Surendrateertharu gave Ashrama to  Sri Vijayeendrateertharu. We Devotees are Fortunate to know the Sacred Parampara of our Sri Vijayeendrateertharu. To be continued next series...
