SATYAMEVA JAYATI NA ANRUTA
Sri
RaghavendraTeertharu had complete depth of knowledge about teachings of
Acharyaru. He wrote many books and commentaries. We can say that it is
because of Sri Rayaru current Pandits are able to understand works of
Madhavacharyaru, Jayatheertharu as Sri Rayaru simplified most of the
complex work which was passed on from Veda Vyasaru to Madhavacharyaru.
How
Sri Ramacharita Manjari (written by Rayaru), Bhavishotara Purna and
Venkateshwara Kalyana clarifies the doubts about allegation on Rama for
testing Sita to pass through fire are described in Mantralaya(1037)
.
Meaning
Sri
RagahavendraTeertharu describes that Lord Rama and Krishna avatar were
to protect women and people involved in Sadachara. When we look at
Ramayana on the surface, we get many doubts. One such doubt is why did
Rama ordered for Sita to pass through Agni(Fire) in order to prove that
she is pure ? If you read Ramacharita Manjari written by Rayaru and
Bhavishotara Purna you will get clear explanation about this. Sri
RaghavendraTeertharu captured entire Ramayana in few short shlokas
called as Rama Charita Manjari. Let’s try to understand the real fact
behind why Rama asked Sita to pass through fire ?
Sita being
Goddess Laxmi , knew this already that Ravan is coming to kidnap her.
Sita took off to Kailasha as Shiva and Parvathi had desire to worship
Maha Laxmi. Before leaving to Kailasha Sita created clone (Akruti) of
her with the spirit(Chetan) being that of Indra inside that Akruti
.There was the saannidhya(presence) of Sita in that cloned Sita. While
kidnapping cloned (Akruti) Sita , Ravan never touched the Akruti
Sita, he touched the shadow of Akruti Sita which appeared as real
to Ravana. This Akruti Sita started to cry when she was in Pushpaka
Viman. During that time Agni came along with another look alike of
Sita, called Vedavati. Agni told Ravana that Rama has kept real Sita
with him and what Ravana is kidnapping is not real Sita. Ravana always
believed Agni. By listening to Agni, he took Vedavati from Agni to
Lanka thinking as real Sita.
Who is this Vedavati ?
Bruhaspatyacharyaru is the Guru for Gods. His son is Kushadwaja a sage.
He had a daughter called Vedavati. Right from childhood she wanted to
marry Lord Vishu . She was always immersed herself in the meditation of
Lord Vishu. As time passed, she grew up as beautiful lady. Once she was
deeply involved in her Tapasu, meditation of Lord Narayana. During that
time Ravana was flying in his plane. Ravana got attracted to the beauty
of Vedavati. He landed his plan and disturbed the mediation of
Vedavati. Ravana asked Vedavati to marry him and she should be enjoying
life as queen of Lanka. Vedavati rejected and ordered him to go away.
This rejection did hurt the ego of Ravana and with anger he tried to
pull her hair. Vedavati decided to jump in the fire as her mediation
became dirty with the hair touch of Ravana. She cursed Ravana that she
will become the cause of his death of Ravana and from now on if he
forces any women then he would immediately die. By saying this Vedavati
jumped into fire. Due to her power of Tapasya , Agni took Vedavati to
his home where she was indulged in deep mediation of Vishnu and was
waiting for Right time to became cause of death of Ravana. This is
reason why Agni brought Vedavati and convinced Ravana to believe
Vedavati as real Sita.
Rama knew that Sita who is in Lanka is
Vedavati. After killing Ravana., Lord ordered Sita to pass through fire
to prove that she is pure. After Vedavati passed through fire two Sita
came out, one is Maha Laxmi who came from Kailasha in Agni and another
one is Vedavati. Sita, Mahalaxmi requested Lord Rama to marry
Vedavati. Rama replied I know she is my devotee but in this Avatara I
am observing Eka Patni Vrata (that is one wife for entire this
Avatara). In next Avatara, Krishan Avatara there is already so many
devotees whom I am going to marry. I am pleased with Vedavati’s
Tapasya, I will marry Vedavathi in the 28th Kaliyuga when I become
Venkateshwara. This marriage event will be most auspicious and would
become famous as Srinivasa Kalyana for years to come. As per Lord’s
blessings, Vedavathi went to Satyaloka and kept waiting for 28th
Kaliyuga. She was born in the 28th Kaliyuga as the daughter of
Akasha Raja as Padmavati and married to Lord Venkateshwara. This is the
fact behind why Agni prevesha of Sita took place. As Sri
RaghavendraTeertharu states for every event in Ramayana and Mahabharata
there is a reason which may go back to many years. Sri
RagahvendraTeertharu has simplified the MahaBharataTatparyanirnaya
which gives complete clarity on many things. We are blessed to have Sri
Rayaru as our Guru. As per Sri RaghavendraTeertharu,our Jagadguru and
Sadhguru is Sri Madhavcharyaru and we are lucky to even pronounce these
divine names
We need to develop a strong faith in Rayaru that he
will protect us irrespective our ups and downs in life. Rayaru’s lotus
feet, Padodaka, Murtika are the real treasure for us in this life and
beyond. I am really blessed to have Sri Raghvendra Patwari as my father
who taught me/us the bhakti of Rayaru. He used to say that each and
every breath of ours should try to chant name of Sri
RaghavendraTeertharu. My father always used to say famous kannada folk
song
CHINTEEYA BANDAAGA YENTHHAVARA NENEYAALI
MANCHALEGIRUVA RAYARA
RAYARA NENEDAARE BANDANTHHA CHINTI PARIHAARA SMARISONA
