SRI KRISHNAVADHOOTARU

Background

Studied under the able guidance of Sri Vyasarajaru at Hampi. Very powerful learned Divine saint Aparokshagnyani:

Sarva Tantra Swatantrosow Sri Madhwa Mata Vardhanaha
Vijayeendra Karaabjothhaha Sudheendra Vara Putrakaha  

Detail description of  worshipping Sri Raghavendrateertharu and the Sampurna Samarpana of  Sri Krishnavadhootaru are described  here in the series of Sri Krishnavadhootaru(20).
 
 

Meaning

Yukta Ayuktam Ajanaano Yaache Tvaam Baalavat Guro
Daataa Traata Dayaluhu Tvam Yathhechchasi Tathhaa Kuru

I am too innocent and ignorant like a child, do not properly analyse which is good and which is bad, I know the only thing to beg you as you are the GIVER and the Protector. So Mantralaya Yatiraat Bless abundantly all the good things in life. Rayaru is the only Kodugai Daani - Magnanimous Donor. The prayer of Krishnavadhootaru to Rayaru is very forceful. As forceful as of Tungabhadra river. Krishnavadhootaru always loved the river Tungabhadra as he lived on the bank of the same  Sacred Tungabhadra river. The devotional depth of Avadhootaru resembles the depth of  Tungabhadra ;

Tungambodhi Tarangasya Vaatena Shobhitae
Ranga Uttunga Taranga Sri Tungabhadra Tata

The forceful flow and the depth of Devotion of Sri Krishnavadhootaru  towards our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu was almost  like the flow and the depth of the Sacred river Tungabhadra. Very forceful and effective.

Tava SevaaRataan Kaanschit Bhaktaan Preshaya Maam Prati
Teshaam Manorathham Taata Mayaa Putrena Pooraya

Mantralaya Yatiraja I am always engaged in your Seva, even devotees like me are also in the same line, please support and provide all the requirements. Fulfill the desired things of the devotees. You are kind, noble, affectionate, devoted and dedicated Chetana in the Seva of Sri Hari. GuruRaghavendraru carried  and brought forwarded these Divine Qualities from his ancestors of Shashthheeka Vamsha Beegamudre family. Rayara family lived with grandeur in the Vijayanagara on the bank of Tungabhadra in Hampi.   The Sankalpa of  Sri Hari  brought them to Kumbhakonam, Bhuvanagiri on the bank of Kaveri. Again back to pavilion to the Sacred bank of Tungabhadra river:

Ramaraadhaka Punya Murty Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhouma
Tungabhadra Tata Mantralaya Priya Vaasa.

One point is very clear Shashtheeka Vamsha Beegamudre family shined on the bank of Tungabhdra in all spheres of life. This is the fortunate of the world devotees that today Rayaru is introduced through the greatest devotee Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharya and his famous writings: Gurustotra - Mangalashtaka - Gadya - Dandaka - Raghavendra Kavacha - Karaavalambam etc. Sondur Sri Krishnavadhootaru further added impetus through his Siddhi Prada Granthha Sri RaghavendraTantra. Detail style of pooja, prayer and the manner we have to surrender etc.  These two greatest devotees also lived and shined on the sacred bank of Tungabhadra. When we pronounce Tungabhadra our heart will be  filled with joy and feel that we are in Mantralaya - Bichali - Navavrundavana.

Thus today the world devotees are simply dragged to these Sanctums to gain everything in life. Our Sri Appanacharyaru has said in Mangalashtaka:

YatVrundavanaSapradakshina NamaskaraabhishekaStuti
DhyaanaaraadhanaMruttivilepanaMukhaanekopachaaraanSadaa
Kaaraankaarm Abhiprayaanti Chaturo Lokaaha Pumarthhaan Sadaa
Sri Mat SadGuruRaghavendraYatiraat Kuryaat DhruvamMangalam

Devotees who are performing the Pradakshina Seva, Namaskara,Abhisheka,Stotra Pathhana, meditating towards Rayaru and seeing through the inward eyes of the sacred Brindavana with great devotion and also taking Mruttika Jala, Padodaka and Mruttika Lepana will result the acquirement of Chaturvidha Purushaarthha by Sri Raghavendra Yatiraat. Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharya has said always - many a times:

Kaarankaramabhiprayaanti.

Such a Kind Yatiraat Sri Raghavendrateertharu will definitely Bless us.

In the same manner Sri Krishnavadhootaru has systematically described the way in which we have to propitiate our Mantralaya Rayaru and attain the Anugraha in the Siddhi Prada Sri RaghavendraTantra. The firm faith and confidence of Sri Avadhootaru towards Rayaru is highly appreciable and a model to the world.

Paapeenaam Agraganyoham Dayaloonaam Tvamaagraneehee
Tvaam Vinaa Nahi Jaanena Anyam Mama Aadya Uddhaara Kaaranam

I am a great sinner, topmost in the list of sinners, Gururaya you are top in the list of Kind heart Dayaloo. I do not know any one except yourself. You are my Uddhaara Kaaranam. With this staunch faith Avadhootaru thus distributed the Punya and Anugraha to the devotees through S R I R A G H A V E N D R A T A N T R A. Shed  and Spread the Divine Light and sprayed the Divine Perfume of Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu.

Karuna Sindho Mayi Sannihitaha Sadaa
Putrasya Mama Vaakyena Sarva Sarveshtado Bhava

I am your beloved son. Always Bestow the best and the finest and always remain in my heart Avadhootaru prayed.

Sarvagnyaaya Swatantraaya Bhakta Klesha Vinaashine
Udaara Chetase Kim Tae Vade Mat Bhaaravaahine

Aparokshagnyani Rayare you know everything and you are the only kind Yatiraja to vanish all the difficulties of the devotees. Fully believed you and I here by entrust all the responsibility of my Uddhaara, so Raghavendrateertha please protect me. Here we find the ecstasy of prayer and faith.

Pathhaat Shravanaat Vaapi Guru Saannidhya Kaaranam
Sampaadya Siddha Sankalpo Bhaktim Muktim Cha Vindati

By remembering Rayaru performing Pathhana and listening Gurustotra we always feel and gain the Sannidhaana of our Sri GuruRaghavendrateertharu and also gain Siddha Sankalpa, Siddha Sankalpa means what all we plan, desire to do will be done and also Bhakti - Mukti. What more we require in life?

Sri Raghavendraha Sakala Pradaata Swa Paadakanja Dwaya Bhakti Madbhyaha
Aghaadri Sambhedana Drushti Vajraha Kshama Surendro Avatumaam Sadaayam

In the third shloka of Sri Raghavendra Gurustotra Sri Appanacharyaru has clarified the same as of Sri Krishnavadhootaru. Devotees who always BELIEVED THE LOTUS FEET OF RAYARU and   perform the seva with great devotion will get everything life.As Rayaru is Sakalpradaataru. Even our huge paapas, evils, sins will be destroyed by the Krupadrushti of Rayaru. That Krupadrushti is like Vajraayudha to destroy the paapas. Rayaru is Kind will excuse us as he is KshamaSurendraru.

Modam Mae Dishatu Guruhu Sa Raghavendro
Deenaanaam Sharanam Udaara Chittavruttihi
Bhaktaanaam Hari  Guru Roopa Darshakaha Tvam
Supremnaa Mayi Mama Taata Sannidehi
 

To all the surrendered devotees please protect and make them happy. You are like a beloved father and beloved Guru to guide Sri Harisarvottama and Vayujeevottama. I always pray and desire the kind and the loving Sannidhaana of Sri Raghavendrateertharu.
