Mantralaya-360

Background

One more important thing to know the holy Chaaturmaasa Vruta is commencing from this Thursday July 2010:

Shraavane Varjyae Shaakam
Dadhi Bhaadrapade Tathhaa
Dugdham Aashwayuje Maasi
Kaarteekae Dwidalam Tathhaa

Certain things we should not eat on the above mentioned months. Devotees opt several Vruta and Niyamas during these four months.

Most of the dedicated world devotees of Mantralaya opt and prefer the Pathhana of Sri Raghavendra Stotra composed by the greatest Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharyaru's Sri Gurustotra all the time during this Chaaturmaasa except during food and sleep.
 

The meaning and the importance of SR I R A G H A V E N D R A and our Kind Yatiraat Sri Raghavendrateertharu's concern and care that lead to reside in the Brindavana in Mantralaya for 700 years are described in Mantralaya(360).
 
 

Meaning

Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharya Priya Mantralaya Sri Rayaru. To think of Mantralaya and to desire for the Yaatra of Mantralaya and Bhikshaalaya one should have the Punya of his/her previous birth and the Paramaanugraha of:

Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharya Priya Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu.

Sri Manchalemma the Kuladevata of Sri Prahladarajaru is welcoming the world devotees and rendering noble service in acquiring the desired fruits by Sri Raghavendrateertharu. What a noble task, what a kind compliance and affectionate co-operation !

Our AdhiDaiva Guru Sri Raghavendrateertharu is really very popular, famous and well known as Agamy Mahimaru in this universe. Bhaagavatottama Gururayaru is the Aavesha of Sri Vayudevaru, very dear and near to Sri Hari. We are highly amazed and impressed that Rayaru - Sri Raghavendrateertharu is possessing a total sum of Punya of Sri Prahlada, Baahleeka and Sri Vyasarajara Avataara in this Sri Raghavendra Avataara in Mantralaya. Devotees coming to Mantralaya with a sacred feeling of Mantralaya Yaatra and perform the Seva of our kind Rayaru with intense devotion will acquire and gain Punya as per Yathhaa Shakti and Yathhaa Bhakti. So Sri Raghavendrateertharu is :

Bhaktaanugraha Premi Sarvatra Sarva Kaaryeshu Jaya Pradaataru.

Those who believed Rayaru are benefitted and found light in their life.Our Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharyaru has said at the samaaropa of Gurustotra:
Yo Bhaktyaa GuruRaghavendra Charana Dwandam Smaran Yaha Pathhet Stotram Divyam Idam Sadaa Nahi Bhavet Tasya Asukham Chintana.

Devotees with great devotion who always perform the seva of Rayaru remembering the two Lotus feet of Rayaru Chanting Gurustotra ( Gurustotra Pathhana), such devotees will never get miseries and sorrows in their life. Those who believed have acquired Siddhi, Akshaya Shreyobhivruddhi - multifarious happiness and peace in life which is overflowing spontaneously like a fountain. This is something like a challenge and a resolution of Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharyaru. Devotees look at the firm faith and abundant Bhakti of Sri Appanaryaru towards our Sri RaghavendraGurusarvabhoumaru.

Our Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharyaru, Sonduru Sri Krishnavadhootaru,Ibharamapura SriAppa, Cheekalaparavi Sri Vijayadasaru, Uttanooru Sri Gopaladasaru,Manvi Sri Jagannathadasaru have properly understood the Divinity and the Mahima of our Sri Mantralaya Gururaat Sri Raghavendrateertharu and thus described in Sulaadi:

Narahari Rama Krishna Vedavyasa
Yeraderadu Naalkku Hari Moorutigalu
Parivaara Sahitavaagi Siri Sahitadi Nindu
SuraGuru Sri Madhwacharyare Modalaagi
Taruvaayadalinnu Taaratamyaanusaara
Paripariya Yatigalu Irutipparilli

Devotees have to propitiate Rayaru in this light of knowledge in Mantralaya, the Divine Centre of Madhwa Phiolsophy. Everything is carried out by the will and wish of Rayaru. As Sri Raghavendrateertharu strongly believes in Sri Hari. Without the order of Sri Hari nothing will happen?

Tena Vinaa Trunamapi Na Chalati.

Dear world devotees now I wish to describe the importance and the greatness of Siddhi and Punya of the name R A G H A V E N D R A :Raghavaha Indraha Yasya Saha Raghavendra

The meaning is Sri Ramachandradevaru is my Lord and Sri Madhwaru my Guru. Sri Sudheendrateertha Varaputraka Sri Raghavendrateertharu believes strongly. It is quite heartening to see the signature of our Yatiraat GururaatSri Raghavendrateertharu that Rayaru always signed as: S R I R A M A C H A N D R A .

It shows what an amount of Devotion Rayaru is having towards our Sri MoolaRamadevaru. So the name Sri Raghavendrateertha to our Gururaat is quite appropriate and appreciable. No Yatis have signed so far the name of their Aaraadhya Daiva. It is new and the newest. So A B H I N A V A P U R N A is also the name of our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu. Rayaru is famous in the whole world V I S R U T A R U : Vishrutaatma Suraarihaa. So V I S H R U T is also the name of our Gururaat Sri Raghavendrateertharu.

Rayaru is Poojyaru Aparoksheekrutashreesharu. It means attained the extra ordinary knowledge by the Divine Grace of Sri Hari. We are really overwhelmed to see the 13th. Shloka of Sri Raghavendra Gurustotra of Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharyaru:

Aparokshee Kruta Sheershaha Samupekshita Bhaavajaha
Apekshita Pradaata Anyo Raghavendraan Na Vidyate

Aparokshagnyani Gururayaru is free from all sorrows and happiness, no manovikaaras. We can say Sthhitapragnyaru. Rayaru is the only Saint who can fulfill the desires liberally.Rayaru is second to none in this whole universe. So Devotees are after Mantralaya and Bhikshaalaya - Bichali.

Rayaru is always engaged in Satya and Dharma. Sri Hari Bhaktas are too dear to Rayaru we say Sri Hari Bhaktas are Panchapraana to Mantralaya Guru Sri Parimalaryaru.In the 44th.shloka of 9th. Chapter of Bhaagavata Saptama Skandha we are amazed to read:

Naitaan Vihaaya Krupanaan Vimuksherka

Leaving Hari Bhaktas, I am unwilling to Moksha alone. I am not a miser to enjoy alone. Sri Prahladarajaru has said to Sri Narasimhaswami - Narahari - Sri Hari. When the pillar was broken by Hirannyakashyapu Sri Hari became pratyaksha in Narahari roopa. Every was afraid to witness to the scene. Sri Narahari at the Pradoshakaala - twilight took Hirannyakshyapu on his lap and torn his stomach through the nails with a terrific roaring. Though all were afraid, Sri Prahladaraja Baala Prahlada simply praised Sri Hari with obedience and devotion.

Namo Bhagavate Tubhyam Purushaaya Mahatmane
Haraye Adbhuta Simhaaya Brahmane Paramatmane

By the Stotra of Prahlada Narahari cooled down, became extremely happy and Swami took Prahlada on his lap and said ask any three Boons you like and desire!I am extremely pleased with your sincere devotion and behaviour. But Prahladarajaru did not ask anything, but only prayed and wished the Achala Sri Hari Bhakti always and nothing else.

Sri Narasimhaswami - Sri Narahari said with pleasure Tathhaastu ! Ok ! Blessed the same.

Though Sri Raghavendrateertharu had this abundant power and Boon of Sri Hari but never utilized for himself. That has grown and still growing even to this day even after distributing liberally to the world devotees irrespective of caste, creed, religion, nation and gender. That is more than equal to the Grandeur of Himalayan height.

Followed strictly the Manu Dharma, life span of Manava - Man - Manu 100 years limit. Followed Yati Dharma as Yatis after attaining the Lotus feet of Sri Hari live Brindavana. So Sri Raghavendrateertharu entered Brindavana Sashareera - sat below the Bhavya, Divya Neela Brindavana the garbhaalaya of 6x6, in the long Japa of Sri Hari for 700 years for the sake of us, to protect us and to do our Uddhaara. He is invisible to our naked eyes.Rayaru is always in Mantralaya below the Brindavana and attends the calls of the devotees where ever they may be:

Kundade Vara Mantralayadalliruva
Karedallige Baruva

Raghavendra GuruRayara Sevisiro
Neev Soukhyadi Jeevisiro
Avadhootaru Heliharu
Mama Aadya Uddhaara Kaaranam

How karuaalu is our Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru for the sake of us he is living in Brindavana in Mantralaya in Bhooloka and refused Moksha:

Naitaan Vihaaya Krupanaan Vimuksherka. For our Uddhaara Rayaru obeyed the order of Sri Hari and happily agreed to live here for 700years. Thus Mantralaya and Bichali became the famous Sanctums. It is difficult to excel the Punya and the grandeur of Mantralaya to the other Kshetras in this universe, Our Sri Vijayadasaru has said in the Suladi:

Bhoomiyolu Pavi Yenisida Yati

Yaama Yaamake Yellarige Sukha Kaamittartthava Kareva Gurugala
Yelu Nooru Varusha Bidadale Chaaru Brindavanadali
Vistaara Aaraadhaneyu Tolagade Vaara Vaarake Aagutippudu
Kshitiyolage Manchale Graamakke Pratiyillavendenisikombudu

It is difficult to excel the Punya and the grandeur of Mantralaya to the other Kshetras in this universe.
