Mantralaya-636

(The importance of Proshthhapadi and the concern of  Sri Hari Harisarvottamatva of our Sri Raghavendrateertharu)

Date : Sep 24, 2015

Background

Dear Devotees : Namaskara

Our Sri Anandateertha Bhagavatpaadaacharyaru is so great that he never left anything in describing about Sri Harisarvottamatva.  Sri Hari Sarvashakta - Sarvatantra Swatantra Sarvatra Sarvswa. The reference of Aitareya Upanishad described in Sarvamoola by Acharya Sri Madhwacharyaru is of great significance.

Early morning after we wake up and completing the Praatarvidhis, feeling pure first we have to remember with Gratitude and express our regards to Sri Varaahadevaru (  one of the Avataara of Dashaavataara of Sri Narayana) Avataara of Sri Vishnu Sri Hari as He has given us this land - Bhoomi, to lift the earth only Swami took this Avataara. We have to come near the Tulasi and Pronounce:   UDDHRUTOSI  VARAAHENA   KRISHNENA   SHATA BAAHUNAHA

Offer our regards and apply the soil of the Tulasi plant to our body. Acharyaru says that we have to do Mruttikaadhaarana - Mruttika Lepana to our body.

DEAR DEVOTEES YOU ARE ALL FULLY AWARE THAT I ALWAYS  MENTION ABOUT SADAACHAARA. THIS IS SADAACHAARA.

When our Acharyaru starts the Paathha, Sri Sheshadevaru will be the first student - first listener to come to listen the Paatha.

Rangottunga Taranga Mangalakara Sri Tungahdra Tata
Pratyasthha Dwijapungavaalaya Lasan Mantralayaakhyaapure
Navyendropala Neela Bhavyakara Sadvrundavanaatargataha
Sri Mat Saduru Raghavendra Yatiraat Kuryaat Dhruvam Mangalam

The  high waves of Tungabhadra are forceful, beautiful and  Mangalakara ( auspicious). Our Mantralaya is situated on the sacred bank of this river which is equal to the Sarayu river of Ayodhyaa All the holy Brahmains and Acharyas are residing in the most sacred and  famous Mantralaya.

Here below the Bhavya Divya Neela Brindavana our Adhidaiva Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru is residing and performing the Akhanda Deergha Japa of Sri Hari to Bless us and protect us. Rayaru is Deergha Japarataru

JAYANTEEVRUTATATPARARU                      
ALWAYS KURYAAT DHRUVAM MANGALAM.

The importance of Proshthhapadi and the concern of  Sri Hari Harisarvottamatva of our Sri Raghavendrateertharu are described in Mantralaya(636).

Meaning

Proshthhapadi begins on Bhaadrapada Shukla Pratipada and concludes on the day of Bhaadrapada Shukla Pournima. A holy and sacred period. Attain Moksha by listening Bhaagavata. Pariksheet Raja the grand son of Arjuna with great devotion followed the Vruta of Proshthhapadi. During this period of two weeks, observed Upavaasa, completely involved in listening Bhaagavata to acquire Punya. So the name Proshthhapadi

Prakrushthhaanaam Padavi Iti Proshthhapadi

Tungabhadra Tata Mangalakara Mantralaya is the Vaasa Aavaasa of Yatiraat Gururaat  Parama Bhaagavatottama Sri Raghavendrateertharu. From the day of Pratipada we simply make a vihaara of Bhakti Rasa Loka which will take us to Vaikunthha. The definition of Proshthhapadi is as below:

DURING OUR LIFTIME WHAT ALL THINGS HAVE HAPPENED SO FAR, MAKE A SURVEY OF GOOD AND BAD SURRENDER TO SRI HARI WITH PURE HEART AND MIND  WORSHIP WITH SADAACHAARA. PURE DHARMA  AACHARANE .  KNOWING THE GREATNESS OF SRI HARI  :  SRI HARISARVOTTAMA IS PROSHTHHAPADI.

Let us not make a show Aadambara  Bhakti with several selfish motives and exhibit our Dharmaacharana. Real Bhakti True Bhakti  Antaranga Bhakti is required to our Sri Hari  Sri Hari Vayu Guru Madhwaru and Karunaalu Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu. Actually our Dasavarenyarus Aarta Bhakti - Samapita Bhakti - Paraakaashthha Bhakti  are the real types of Bhakti. Dasarus have actually danced with devotion ecstasy on the sacred yard of Tungabhadra Mantralaya. They declared that everything is yours.

NA AHAM KARTAA HARIHI  KARTAA
TAT POOJA KARMA  CHA AKHILAM

When this feeling is strong automatically real bhakti True Bhakti overflows like a fountain in our heart.

Parama Bhaagavatottama Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru to Bless us everything is engaged in Deergha Akhanda Japa of Sri Hari in Mantralaya. One who thinks and understands that Sri Hari is Sarvottama is a Gnyani. Acharya Madhwaru as per Geetakalpa Pramaanagranthha:

Rasaadeenaam Rasaaditwe Swabhavate Tathhaiva Cha
Saaratvae Sarva Dharmeshu Visheshaanaapi Kaaranam
Saara Bhoktaa Cha Sarvatra Yato Ato Jagadeeshwaraha
Rasaadim Aaasinaam Dehe Sa Sarvatra Vyasthhitaha
Abaadhayaha Paarshadaa Dheyaaha Sa Gnyaninaa Harihi

Mantralaya Rayaru Geeta Vivrutti Vivara

ASAMBANDHAAT | MUKTAASTU PARA AABHAASAAHAA |  KADAACHIT
DUKHKHA SAMBANDHAAT | TAE SARVE HARIR ADHEENAAHAA |  
PARASTU PARATARAHA !

Always thinking that Sri Hari us great, no one is equal to him. Sri Hari Mahima is the super and the supreme:

UTKARSHAGNYANAM  GNYANAPADENA VIVAKSHITAM

This is Guyana  -  Sugnyana  -  Vignyana. Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu during the Avataara as Sri Vyasarajaru described in one shloka that too extempore through Aashukavitva:

Shree ManMadhwamate Harihi ParatarahaSatyam Jagat Tatvato
Bhedo Jeevaganaa Harehe Anucharaha Neechochcha Bhaavamgatahha
Muktihi Naija Sukhaanubhootihi Amlaa Bhaktihi Cha Tat Saadhanam
Hrukshyyadi Tratayam Pramaanam Akhila Aamnayika Vedyo Harihi

Sri Prahalada - Sri Bahleeka - Sri Vyasarajaru has described the Essence of Madhwa Philosophy in one Sentence - in one Shloka that too extempore Aashukavitva. No one is great than Sri Hari. Everything is under His control, Sri Hari is Paratararu Paratamaru. On the auspicious of this Proshthhapadi the knowledge of Sri Vishnu Mahima is highly essential to all
- SRI HARISARVOTTAMTVA GNYANA.This will lead us on the right path of Sadaachaara, always we will be eager to get the Anugraha of Sadhu Sajjanas.
Aasheervachana is really fruitful and at the same time the curse SHAAPA from them is also too effective. Pareekshitaraja attained the curse and owing to that met the end by a serpent bite. Prior to that two weeks he strictly followed Proshthhapadi Vruta with devotion - Daily observing fast listened BHAAGAVATA with complete involvement. Rayaru is fully aware of  Shree ManMadhwamate Harihi ParatarahaSatyam Jagat Tatvato. So for the sake of this became invisible from our eyes and became Guhaantarnivesharu  for Deergha Akhanda Japa of Sri Hari. NO ONE IS GREAT THAN SRI HARI. SWAMI SRI HARI IS SARVASHAKTA SARVATRA SARVATANTRA SWATANTRA. Kind Gururaya ParamaBhaagavatottama is with us since 344 years below the Brindavana and will be with us for another 356 years. Shree ManMadhwamate Harihi is the Mahamantra of our Mantralaya Rayaru.

What ever Mahimas are being showered to the devotees Rayaru says it is the Anugraha  Paramaanugraha of Sri Hari. We are amazed to the Nade Nudi of our Rayaru. Politeness of Rayaru in all the Avataaraas total sum is in RaghavendraAvataara. We are today enjoying the Paramaanugraha of our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu. It is not of mine ! It is of Sri Hari's Anugraha Karune and Blessings. A great Paramabhaktaru we say as he served as a devotee in all the births such as  Sri Aahladaru - Sri Appanacharyaru of Bichali Japadakatti - Lachamari Ben kappa - Karajagi Shreedavaithalaru  and finally Kosigi Kowtala Sri GuruJagannathadasaru. Beautifully described with devotion:


SRI RAGHAVENDRA MAMADEHI KARAAVALAMBAM STOTRA
KAASHAAYA DANDA KAMANDALU PANKAJAAKSHA
MAALAARKA BHAINARUCHI RAAJINA PEETHHASAMSTHHA
MUGDHAANKA SHOBHI NIJA PAADA SAROJA YUGMA
SRI RAGHAVENDRA MAMADEHI KARAAVALAMBAM     ||14||

Sri Raghavendrateertharu wearing Kaashaaya Vastra, holding Danda Kamandalu, wearing Kamalaaksha Tulasee Maalaa is seated on the Peethha Mugdhanka Shobhi with love and affection, We are surrendered to our Rayaru's Nija Paada Saroja Yugma ! Loudly say please lift me up, extend your helping hand, protect me always Mantralaya Prabho

SRI RAGHAVENDRA MAMADEHI KARAAVALAMBAM    

Sri GuruJagannathadasaru was too lucky and fortunate to have the Pratyaksaha Darshana of Rayaru always. The Devotion's Teja  -  Oja -  Ogha  and the overflow of Bhakti Mahima cannot be excelled by others. So great is our Sri GuruJagannathadasaru.
