Date : June 1 2011

Background


Dashaharaa Vruta begins from today June 02.2011, Thursday Jyeshthha Shuddha Pratipada and concludes on  June 11th. 2011 Saturday Dashami, well known as Dashaharaa Dashami.

The importance 108 Ashtottara Shata and the constant Prayer of Mantralaya Devotees to our Kind Yatiraat Sri Raghavendrateertharu, the Siddhi and the Punya of Ashtottara Shata Pathhana of Stotraraja 108 times, of Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharyaru's Sri Raghavendra  Gurustotra  are described in Mantralaya(407).

Meaning

Thursday June 02nd. Jyesthha Shuddha Pratipada the auspicious day owing to the beginning of Dasha Haraa Vruta which concludes on Saturday June 11th.2011 Dashami very popular as Dashahaara Dashami. Importance of Dasha - Ten is quite interesting. In the next  Mantralaya Series this will be described in detail.

Dear World Devotees I wish to share the importance of 108, as it is very dear and we are also fond of this Number Ashtottara Shata.
We feel 108 is the Symbol of Punya and Saakaara related to our welfare,  we Chant the Siddhi Mantras for 108 times.  We call it Japa. Japa Maala of 108 Tulasi Mani and  54  Manis are in use to for the convenient of the Devotees.

Janma Naama,Nakshatra Raashi etc.108 denotes a total strength and the power of all this. Our Sanaatanma Culture is full of Sanctity and Purity.

To address a Mahan Chetana we use 108 Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru. It is a mark of great Regard and Respect. While we use 108 Sri Raghavendrateertharu means Rayaru is looking after the welfare of all us.Rayaru is Capable of imparting the benefit of allthe Nakshatras, even though a few are unfavorable. So  the usage of 108 is proper from the beginning of Sri Madhwacharyaru. It is surprising to see that now people are using 1008 and glorifying in the public 1008 Sri Sri --------------. Like a horse closed the sides of the two eyes, so as to go straight and not to see anything towards both the sides. In Kannada we say Kannu Patti Kattida Kudure. This 1008 will not become the ten times of 108. Ten times of 108 is 1080. Moreover the use of Shasra Saavira is restricted only to Sri Hari.

Sahsra Sheershaa Purushaha SasraAkshaha Sahasra Paat
Sa Bhoomim Vishwato Vrutvaa Atyatishthhati Dashangulam.

Sri Hari is residing in our body with thousand heads, thousand eyes. Sri Hari is Sarvatra. SarvaShakta  Sarvatantra Swatantra, Sarvatra Vyaapta. Dasha means Sri Hari is Sarvatra. So we address  the Jaganniyaayamaka Sri Hari who is Omniscient and Omnipotent as 1000. It is quite appropriate Sahsra Sheershaha Purushaha. So let us concentrate on 108 Ashtottara Shata and not on 1008. Chant ten times of 108, let us accumulate and make it  ten times  of 108 and it  becomes 1080. Indulge in the Seva and acquire the Anugraha of  Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru:
 
Sri Narahari Rama Krishna Vedavyasa Sri Vayudevaru are with our Rayaru on the top of the Brindavana, as Rayaru is sitting below Brindavana and engaged in the Deergha Akhanda Japa of Sri Hari.

Attain Siddha Sankalpa and the highest Punya by  performing the Pathhana of  Ashtottara Shata  of our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu.  The greatest Devotee of Rayaru Bhikshaalaya Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharyaru has said in Sri RaghavendraStotra Purascharana regarding the suitable place for this Noble Seva:

Goshthhe Vrundavane Ashwathhe Sri Raghavendra Stotra Purascharanam
Goshthhe Dasha Gunam Vindyaat Shatam Vrundavane Tathhaa

Ashwathhe Tri Shatam Proktam Parvataagre Tu Panchakam
Nadee Teere Swaayutam Hi Punya Kshetre Tu Lakshakam

There should be either Goshaala or Ashwathha Vruksha, or Brindavana or a hilly region or the bank of the river.

To perform the Ashtottara Shata Pathhana the best suitable places are Navavrundavana - Anegundi - Bichali - Mantralaya . Because all the Siddhi Punya requirements are abundant in these Punya Kshetras. So One lakh of Punya is available in all these three Siddhi Kshetras. We are happy to know that  the Sacred Tungabhadra river is also called as Malaprahaarinee Teertha means all the Paapas will be vanished.So the Devotees of Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu always feel the Anusandhaana of these Siddhi Ksahetras and perform the Pathhana of Ashtottara Shata where ever they are ! All the time day and night, in Jaagruti and Sushupti:

Divaa Prabhaate Nishi Cha Pradoshe
Madhyam DinevyanMama Jaagarookaha
Sarveshu Karyeshu Cha Sarvadaa Maam
Paayaat Guruhu Matkruta Sannidhaanaha

Sri Krishnavadhootaru has described in Sri Raghavendra Tantra.Mat Kruta Sannidhaanaha Pray to Rayaru to come and protect. To Bless in all their endeavours as Rayaru is Jayado Jaya Kartaa Cha Jagat Kshemakaro Jayee.Shreedavithala  Haridasaru has rightly said:

Kundade Vara Mantralayadalliruva
Karedallige Baruva  Raghavendra Gururayara Sevisiro
Neev Soukhyadi Jeevisiro

Let us completely surrender to our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu  and Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharyaru:

Sri Raghavendra Guruhu Anghrihm Samsakta Dhishanaagraneehee

Appanarya Guruhu Bhooyaat Asmat Ishtaarthha Siddhayae

Krishnavadhootaru has said that Sri Appanarya has introduced Sri Raghavendrateertharu through his Gurustotra to the crores and the crores of Rayara Devotees and Bless us. It is important to know that the two personalities Sri Pandit Narayanacharya(Poorvashrama Sodaraliya) and Sri Appanacharya(Dearest Devotee) have  fully understood and known Rayaru. So Sri Raghavendra Vijaya and Gurustotra are the two important assets to the Devotees of Mantralaya today.

The importance of  108 Ashtottara Shata is really great ! Pathhana of all the Complete  33 Shlokas of Gurustotra  with Devotion is essential to acquire the Paramaanugraha of our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru. Kalpavruksha Kamadhenu of Kaliyuga.

Yonuttamam Idam Stotram Ashtottara Shatam Japet.

Hats off to Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharya for this greatest contribution to the Devotees of Mantralaya.
