The Aradhana of our
Daivee Chetana Sri Raghavendrateertharu falls on August 7th.Poorva Aradhana,
8th.Madhya Aradhana, 9th. Uttara Aradhana. The whole world is celebrating the
338th Aradhana remembering and praying to our Yatiraat.I really convey my
pranams to those who celebrate. Beloved GuruRayaru disappeared from our sight.
The owner and the master of Abundant Punya - Akhanda Punya Raashi never used
anything for his personal use. Karunaalu reserved the entire thing for the sake
of the devotees and liberally distributing and doing the Uddhaara of our
Manukula.
When we just remember the day of
Brindavana Pravesha our eyes become wet with tears and the heart simply cries.
So far no Yatis have thought about the stones of their Brindavana.
But Rayaru a week before the Brindavana Pravesha did not accept the Brindavana
prepared by Diwan Venkanna.Said let this Brindavana be in Mantralaya and
will be used for the coming Yati. That Brindavana was used for Sri
Vaadeendrateertharu.
So Sri Raghavendrateertharu
personally went to Madhavar along with Diwan Venkanna selected the stone for
his Brindavana and said to Venkanna that on this holy hilly
rock during the Vanavaasa of fourteen years Sri
Ramachandradevaru has taken rest for SEVEN GALIGE ( two hours and forty
eight minutes). So it is most holy and sacred. Extract
the stones from this rock for the construction of Brindavana. As per the advice
Venkanna did it soon as the time was very short.
We can say perhaps THIS WAS
THE LAST SANCHAARA of our beloved kind Yatiraat Sri
Raghavendrateertharu along with Venkanna. From the next day Rayaru did not move
from Mantralaya. So GuruRayaru selected himself the stone for his
Brindavana. Never perturbed, nor felt sorry for entering the Brindavana. The
same smile and soft interaction affectionately with all the devotees. This
made the devotees to think more and feel sorry that after a day we will not be
able to see Rayaru, enter Brindavana and disappear from our sight. We are
amazed to know the multifarious divine personality of our Sri
Raghavendrateertharu.
It is quite interesting to know
that the Brindavana stones selected by our GuruRayaru are used to the Ek Shila
Brindavana by Bichali Sri Appanacharyaru at the Japadakatti. Bichali Sri
Appanacharya after the Brindavana pravesha of Rayaru started living in Mantralaya
only. One day Rayaru appeared in the dream of Appanacharya and said go to your
place Bichali. After going daily he used to come to Mantralaya from Bichali
crossing the river Tungabhadra. At that time there was no dam, abundant
forceful flow of Tungabhadra, but Appanacharya used to swim without caring the
forceful flow, so Kind Sri Raghavendrateertharu one day appeared in the dream
of Appanacharya in Bichali and said now onwards you do the Pratishthhaapana
of Ek Shila Brindavana on the Japadakatti where we used to sit together
and talk daily, I will daily give Darshana to you in the form of Jyoti. So do
not come to Mantralaya. Dear devotees, see how kind is our Rayaru and taking
care of his devotees.
So Rayaru: NITYA JYOTI ROOPA
DARSHANA PRADAATA
Bichali Sri Appanacharyaru through
Sri Raghavendra Gurustotra introduced Rayaru to the whole world.
Sri Raghavendrateertharu never
exhibited his super human power. Always acted in the frame work of Manu Dharma.
So in order to do the Uddhaara of the devotees entered Brindavana and even to
this day living happily with yoga siddhi:
BRINDAVANA MANDIRA PAALAYAMAAM
KEVALANUTAJANA PAAVANA ROOPI
SADAA VINODI PAALAYAMAAM
Our Uttanooru Sri Gopaladasru has
said in one of the suladis.
During Chaaturmaasa while sitting
with Sri Yogeendrateertharu Rayaru asked Diwan Venkanna to announce the
day of Brindavana Pravesha on Shraavana bahula Dwiteeya Poorvashrama son
Sri Laxminarayanacharya and nephew Sri Narayanacharya started weeping. Rayaru
said how innocent you are ! Do not feel sorry, I am not going anywhere! I am
not giving up my body, I will be sitting in the Brindavana to follow the
dharma of the world devotees as per the order of Sri Hari.
I AM NOT GIVING UP MY BODY I WILL
BE IN MANTRALAYA YOU CANNOT SEE ME - ONLY DISAPPEAR FROM YOUR SIGHT.
CALL ME ANY TIME I WILL DEFINITELY
LISTEN. SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS AND PROTECT
Our Shreedavithalaru has said:
Kundade Vara Mantralayadalliruva
Karedallige Baruva Raghavendra
GuruRayara Sevisiro
Neev Soukhyadi Jeevisiro.
On the day of Shraavana Pratipada
Sri Raghavendrateertharu performed the pooja of our Sri MoolaRamadevaru
with devotion and grandeur. Kind interaction with all the devotees with a
smile, offered Teertha Phala Mantrakshate and accepted the Bhiksha with
all. After that engaged in the preparation of the next day Brindavana pravesha.
Diwan Venkanna used to go here and there finding a lonely place and will weep.
His grief was at its utmost. His Guru Araadhya Adhi Daiva is disappearing
shortly. Looking at the STHITAPRAGNYA OF RAYARU the gathered devotees became
dumb. They simply shed tears and said that we are loosing such an eminent
divine personality. We cannot see Rayaru like this from tomorrow onwards.
The devotees, the paraphernalia of the SRS Mutt - Vidya Mutt were simply shed
tears including the Mutt Gajaraja Maandhaata and the kid elephant Laxmi, the
calf and the cows and even Varunadeva also joined with showers, incessant
showers on that day and expressed his deep sense of sorrowful feelings.
Sri Raghavendrateertharu got up
early sharp at Brahmee Muhurta, did the morning routine, holy dip, pooja,
paatha and pravachana carried out normally with a smile. Though it was
raining, thick gathering of the devotees made Rayaru to ask Venkanna to provide
shelter for them. What an amount of care towards the devotees, even at the
eleventh hour our Rayaru did not think about himself but took care of his
devotees. At last looking at the devotees in Mantralaya Rayaru raised his hands
and said:
Devotees the day had come that I will
have to disappear from your sight. Do not feel sorry for my departure Sri
Yogeendrateertharu will continue the Tradition and will take care of you.
Though I will be in Mantralaya Brindavana you can call me any time, anywhere.
Definitely protect you. We have to follow the orders of Sri Hari. Though I am
in Brindavana Sri SriMadacharya granthhas, Sri Jaiteertharu granthhas and my
writings are here for your guidance and ready reference. Follow them with faith
and belief. Be always on the right path, do not hurt the feelings of others
under any circumstances. Have Faith in Sri Hari Vayu and Guru and you
will be Blessed in life in all your endeavours.
Immediately after the Brindavana
pravesha our GuruRayaru proved the Miracle to his dearest and the greatest devotee
Bichali Sri Appanacharyaru.As Appanacharyaru could not be present at the time
of Brindavana pravesha and did not have the last Darshana, the grief
overflowed, Chaturveda Pandita, Aparokshagnyani, Vice chancellor and the
Profeesor of the Open University of Japadakatti Appanacharya
through Ashukavitva composed Sri Raghavendra Gurustotra that too while crossing
the river Tungabhadra which was in full spate. Appanacharyar Love, Affection
and Regard together spontaneously rushed in Gurustotra. The Divine
Personality of our GuruRayaru is presented to the world through this Sri
Raghavendra Gurustotra.
Dear devotees to know Rayaru please
chant with devotion and understand the real meaning of Sri Raghavendra
Gurustotra.
Rayaru carefully listened the Gurustotra
started by Bichali Appanacharya right from the Japadakatti and when he came
near the Brindavana could not see Rayaru but saw the Brindavana Appanacharya
grief knew no bonds. After saying:
Yo Bhaktyaa GuruRaghavendra Charana
Dwandam Smaran Yaha Pathet
Stotram Divyam Idam Sadaa Nahi Bhavet Tasyaa Asukham Kincham
KimtvishaarthhaSamruddhireva
Kamanatha Prasadodayaat
Keertihi Digviditaa Vibhutiratula
Appanacharya owing to grief and
devotional ecstasy cannot speak out any thing more, shed tears, fell down and
performed Saashtaanga to Rayaru.
Rayaru completed the Stotra of his
dearest devotee saying :
SAAKSHEEHAYASTOTRAHEE. All those
who were gathered there listened this voice of Rayaru.
Iti Sri Raghavendrarya
Gururajaha Prasadataha
Sri Appanacharya said happily
continued and completed.
The gathered Devotees in one voice
they pronounced:
Krutam Stotram Idam Punyam Sri
MatbhirAppanabhidahihi.
Dear Devotees when all these things
like a flash back appear to our inward eyes we really feel the absence
of Rayaru and miss the divine presence and tears roll from our eyes.
Divine Chetana Sri Raghavendrateertharu is below the Brindavana of Mantralaya
with Yoga siddhi. Always Blessing, protecting and helping the Devotees. The
abundant songs and padasa of our Haridasas are the witness for this.
Though we cannot see Rayaru with
our bare eyes we see Rayaru through our inward eyes. He is Blessing us sitting
in the Brindavana. This much of Anusandhaana is needed, this much of firm faith
and unalterable belief we devotees must follow. We are really Blessed by this
great Yatiraat the Seventeenth Pontiff of our Sri SriMadacharya Peetha, Rayara
Mutt, Vidya Mutt Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru.

Gurusarvabhouma's Aradhana details at the Sanctum of Bichali Japadakatti -
Bichali Sri Appanacharya's favourite place and the Miracle of Rayaru are
described in Mantralaya(310).
The world devotees have
celebrated Shraavana Bahula Pratipada,
Dwiteeya and Trateeya as Poorvaaradhane, Madhyaaraadhane and
Uttaraaradhane with great devotion and
affection celebrated the 338th. Aradhana
Mahotsava of our Yatiraat Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru. Bent with
gratitude towards Mahan Chetana. Aradhana means expressing our regard, love,
faith, belief, divine rememberance and
worship. Aradhana means to know the importance of the Mahan Chetana and the
Mahima Miracle of Sri
Raghavendrateertharu. That too our Rayara Aradhana means we will be celebrating
the worship of Sri Hari, Ram,
In this series of Mantralaya(310) I
wish to describe the Aradhana details and the Miracle of Rayaru at Bichali.
Appanacharya was daily going to Mantralaya
to avail the Darshana of Rayaru by crossing the river Tungabhadra and
returning to Bichali in the same way.
This continued for a long time. Then Rayaru thought of his most favourite and
beloved Bichali Appanacharya that actually he is a struggling a lot to cross
the river Tungabhadra river, at that time it
flowed with full swing as there was no dam Tungabhadra dam. Kind Rayaru
Bhaktaanugraha Premi said to Appanacharya do not come to Mantralaya, do the
pratishthhaapana of Ek ShilaBrindavana at the Japadakatti where we used to sit
together daily and Rayaru said will give
Darshana to you daily there only. As per
the promise Rayaru daily giving Darshana to EkshilaBrindavana through Jyoti
Roopa even to this day.
Shraavana Bahula Dwiteeya the
Tungabhadra is flowing forcefully with a lullaby day in and day out saying :
Bichali Sri Appanacharya Priya Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurubhyo Namaha at the Japadakatti in
Bichali. This lullaby of Tungabhadra is the Quick Siddhi Mahamantra of our
GuruRayaru to attain everything in life to the world devotees. When we enter towards the
Bichali Japadakatti first we find the house of Sri Appanacharya at the
left side. There we find a board - Sri Appanacharya's house. Saffron flags are
flying and showing the direction to the Japadakatti and proclaim that this is
the most Siddhi Kshetra of Sri
Raghavendrateertharu and this is the ecstasy of Bhakti of Sri Appanacharyaru.
Thus welcome the devotees with warm affection.
When we just land at the sacred
Japadakatti the three brothers of Sri
Appanacharya's Vamshasthharu Sri Raghavendracharya, Sri Badadha Ramacharya and
Sri Krishnacharya the sons of Prof.
Narasimhacharya welcomed with a smile
and offered kind hospitality as per our sanaatana Sanskrit :
Atithi Devo Bhava
Devotees have grown in large
number.Sri Badadha Ramacharya describes the details of Japadakatti - Bichali -
Appanacharyaru - Mantralaya - Sri Raghavendrateertharu in Telugu, Hindi,
English and Kannada. The style of presentation is superb, the fluency is
excellent and simply he takes us to those days of GuruRayaru and Appanacharyaru
with complete involvement. The devotees are highly satisfied by this decent
description.
The Vamshasthharu of Bichali Sri Appanacharya all the brothers in
general and Badadha Sri Ramacharya in particular are really praise worthy for the way they have arranged the Aradhana
for three days Poorvaaradhane,Madhyaaradhane,Uttaraaradhane. They have not gone
for door to door collection towards the Aradhana nor any financial assistance
from any where. His own personal savings and whatever the Devotees of the
Ashtottara Shata Seva Samiti voluntarily give accepted gladly and performed the
Aradhana meticulously. The creative capacity, the hypnotizing features of his
Devotion towards Mantralaya Rayaru and Bichali Appanacharyaru are the main
features of his success. In this matter Ramacharya is second to none. On all
the three days of Aradhana Panchamruta
Abhisheka,Ashtottara Pathana, Alankara Mahapooja and daily new Silk Vastra and
Sheshavastra to Rayaru, the Aradhana reached the climax of devotional grandeur. Amidst the Mother
Nature's Punya Parisara Rayaru visits
daily the Bichali Japadakatti Ek Shila Brindavana in the form of Jyoti. So
world devotees it is most sacred and holy.
It is my luck and fortune that I participated in the
Aradhana of Bichali on the day of MadhyaAradhana along with my son and wife.
First Visited Mantralaya had the Darshana of Moola Brindavana of Sri Raghavendrateertharu and then proceeded
to Bichali Aradhana Celebrations. It is quite heartening to know that Rayaru
accepts the seva only from those to whom he likes. For the Aradhana for three
days Rayaru desired the pooja of Mantralaya resident Sri Shankara Rao's son
Sri Goutamacharya, a young boy of 21
years. Quite efficient and well versed in Vedaadhyayana,Dharmashaastra and
Pooja Vidhaana.
All the three days Sri Goutamacharya's
pooja Rayaru liked. As already said Rayaru is our : Bhaktaanugraha Premi. On the day of
Uttaraaraadhane after Mahamangalarati at night Sri Goutamacharya prayed to
Rayaru : GuruRaya I am too young there may be some omissions and deletions in
the pooja Vidhaana, if there are any mistakes on my part, please forgive me.
Goutamacharya appealed with emotion and devotion. Slept at the Sanctum of
Japadakatti room. That day during night at 2-30 am, Goutamacharya got up, he
did not get sleep. To his great surprise he saw a man walking near the grinding
stone(Varalu Rubbugundu), thought that somebody owing to the heavy food may be
just walking. The whole sanctum was in deep slumber except Goutamacharya. He
saw with his own eyes. After sometime the man disappeared, then Goutamacharya
saw powerful light in front of Sri Vyasaraja Pratishthhaapita Sri Praanadevaru
for a long time. The powerful light Jyoti he saw that was below
the platform there is a
shelf(Maada) in front of Japadakatti Ek
Shila Brindavana.
Detailed the whole thing in the
morning to all the elders including the Archaka - Vamshasthha Sri Badadha
Ramacharya. Confirmed that no one has walked during night. The man who walked
is none but Rayaru. Highly pleased with the Aradhana Seva Kainkarya - Pooja of Sri Goutamacharya during the Aradhana. So
Rayaru gave Darshana to Goutamacharya and as usual as per the word given to Sri
Appanacharya appeared in the form of Jyoti near Sri Vyasaraja Pratishthhaapita
Praanadevaru. It is a great Miracle of Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu.
Blessed Goutamacharya , Rayaru appreciated his honesty and sincerity, though he
performed the pooja as per our Pooja rituals and Pooja Vidhaana. Dear world
Devotees Goutamacharya is lucky, got the Pratryaksha Darshana of Rayaru at the
Bichali Japadakatti. Several Rushi Munis Devotees constantly pray to Rayaru and
perform Sankalpa Seva. See how fortunate
is this young guy. The golden opportunity given by Ramacharya we say Rayaru inspired. Sri Badadha Ramacharya's
selfless Seva Rayaru always desires and there by Blessing the world Devotees
through the Ashtottara Shata Seva Samiti of Bichali Japadakatti. The Seva of
Sri Appanacharya Vamshashthharu is really a boon to all of us. So this Miracle
happened in Bichali. Rayaru said Aradhana well done, pleased, Blessed you all.
This is the Niropa of Rayaru on the concluding day of Aradhana.
Devotees Rayaru is daily visiting
Bichali Japadakatti, the Tungabharda holy Snaana, Aahneeka, Anushthhaana and then sit at the EkShila Brindavana in
JyotiRoopa. This is the routine of Rayaru. Only the lucky and the fortunate
have the chance of Darshana.
We say that Goutamacharya is one
such satvika among the lucky, fortunate and the Blessed. So Rayaru is:
