Mantralaya-827

(The punya and the mahima of our sacred rivers and the devotional dedication)

Date : May 1, 2019

Background

Dear Devotees:

VAAJI MEDHAYAJINAAVIKALPITAM SHANKHAVAARI SHIRASAA SA DHAARAYAN
RAJASOOYAYAJINAAPI SAMANTAM VISHNUPAADASALILAM PIBATYASOOWA

Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru after the Pooja will have Sri Vishnu Paadodaka with Shankha Prokshana and take the Teertha three times.

(1) Prathhamam Kaarya Siddhyarthham
(2) Dwiteeyam Dharma Saadhanam
(3) Trateeyam Moksha Praapnoti. Yevam Teerthham Sadaa Pibet.

Shankhodaka Prokshana is equal to the Punya of Avabhrutasnaana of Raajasooya yaaga. Such is the sacred routine of our Mantralaya Rayaru even today. Rayaru has not left us Rayaru is with us Akhanda Deergha Japarataru below the bhavya divya neela brindavana, perfectly comfortable as our Rayaru is Sri Vayu Aavesharu owing to the Boon of Sri Narahari Sri Vedavyasa Manthhaanadamakara Sri Krishna Krishnatmaka Sri MoolaRamadevaru and Guru Sri MannMadhwaryaru

LUCKY AND FORTUNATE TO KNOW ALL THIS PUNYA AND SIDDHI OF OUR RAYARU AND LIVING IN THE SUVARNA YUGA OF OUR MANTRALAYA RAYARA MATHA.

The punya and the mahima of our sacred rivers and the devotional dedication thought pondering divine matters are described in Mantralaya(827)

Meaning:

Sri Vayudevarau’s amazing divine sublimity of Mother Nature is meticulously described by our kulaguru Sri Hanuma in Sri Bheemaavatari Sri MannMadhwacharyaru in Sri Krishnamruta Mahaarnava! The vision of Sadaachaara is enhanced and increased by leaps and bounds to our Mantralaya devotees of this universe. Mountains, rivers and trees are the boon to our Manukula by mother nature as per the rules of Sri Hari and Sri Vayudevaru.  Sri Anandateertha Bhagavatpadacharyaru described about the rivers in Sri Krishnamruta Mahaarnava

UDBHOOYA BHOODHARAADABDHIM PRAVISHYATAMBU SANTATIHI
YAA SAA MAHANADEE GNYEYAA SARVA PAAPA PRANAASHINEE

Taking birth on the top of the mountain flowing hundreds and thousands of miles forcefully will join the ocean. The river directly flowing and joining the ocean is the river. Very sacred and holy. Bathing in Ganga we become too holy and acquire the Punya. GANGA SNAANA TUNGA PAANA is the popular saying of all in this universe. So all the satvikas desire and undertake the Yaatraa of Kashi(Varnasi) and Rameshwar. Sri Rudradevaru is our Aaraadhya Devata both in Kashi and Rameshwar. We call this biggest river Ganga as Mahaanadi. The strong belief and the firm faith of all the satvikas that when we take a holy dip in Ganga all our sins and evil effects are washed away once for all and we feel sacred and holy

Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu meticulously described the same as NADEE TAARATAMYA  in seven shlokas. This is possible only to our  Mantralaya Rayaru! Of all the rivers Ganga stands first in purity and holiness, as Ganga joins directly to the ocean. Taking  the holy dip in Ganga we acquire the Punya of a year’s Yaaga fruits. Taking the holy dip in Godavari we acquire the Punya of six months months.

SHAN MAASA PHALADAA VATSARASYAT JAAHNAVI
VRUDDHA GANGE MAHAAPUNYE GOUTAMASYA AGHANAASHINEE

Godavari is next after our Ganga. Extremely pleased towards the intense Tapasya of Sri Goutamarushi, Sri Rudradevaru made possible to flow from His Jataajoota to wipe off the curse of Gohatyaa in the Andhra Pradesh at Vijayawada. GO  DAA – TO SAVE THE COW SACRED WATER GANGA FLOWED. Therefore this river is holy and sacred as Godavari. Sri Gouthamaryaru saved the Cow became from the curse of GO HATYAA DOSHA.

GO DAA VAARIYAAGI   GODAVARIYAAGI  GOHATYAA DOSHA PAAPA PARIHAARA
GODAAVARYAAM MAHA NADYAAM VEERA NARAYANO NRUPA

Really Godavari is Godavari Mahanad! The next biggest river after GANGA.

Krishna - Krishnaveni  river takes birth in Maharashtrada near Mahabaleshwara and flows about 1250 kilometers and joins the East ocean near the Vijayawadada. As Krishna joins the ocean, so we say Krishna also a Mahanadi. The praise of Sri Vadirajaru about Krishna is quite appropriate.

PAAPAANI    TVAAM  PRANAYASI DHRUVAM

Directly joining the ocean are all great rivers: NERA SAAGARA SERUVA NADIGALU MAHANADIGALU NIJADI

By taking holy dip in Krishna we get all the Punya and the Siddhi within no time. So the saying of Gangaa snaana - Krishna snaana and Tunga paana is popular and very sacred. Swami Pushkarinee is equal to the river Krishna. In Sri Venkatachala there are 66 Crores of vattu 66 koti Teerthhagalu ! Amomg all the Teerthhas SWAMI PUSHKARINEE  is  highly Punyaprada.  SWAMI PUSHKARINEE is the janmabhoomi of all  the Teerthhas including the  Gangaa. It is quite heartening to know that even the Gods residing in Devaloka desire the holy dip in Swamipushakarinee.

KAANKSHANTEE DEVATAAHAA SARVAAHA MAJJANAM TAT JALE

On the auspicious day of Dhanurmaasa Vaikunthha Ekadashi all the Gods come from Devaloka to the abode of Tirumala, as it is too sacred and holy:

VENKATAADRI SAMAM STHHAANAM BRAHMAANDE NAASTI KINCHANA
VENKATESHA SAMO DEVO NA BHOOTO NA BHAVISHYATI

Enter the garbhaalaya of Tirumala Sri Srinivasadevaru and the whole night they will perform the stotra pathhana, Stuti and prayer. They observe JAAGARANA and on the day of Shuklapaksha Dwadashee all the Gods take the holy dip in Swamipushkarinee before the Sunrise, again they enter the garbhaalaya of Anandanilaya and avail the divya darshana, perform Naivedya of Mudgaanna, accept the same, offering regards to Sri Hari SriMannNarayana :

ANANDA GNYANADAM VISHNUM ANANDAMAYA NAAMAKAM
ANANDENA DADARSHA  AYAM ANANDANILAYALAYAE

Anandanilayavaasi Sri Srinivasa prabho you are the center of happiness and knowledge. Kindly look at me happily, always fond of your Darshana. Then all the Gods with great satisfaction return to their respective lokas with gratitude

The original birth point of Kaveri is Sahyadri. Joins the bay of Bengal near Tanjore. Dear devotees it is important to all of us to remember and pronounce the Seven Sacred names of rivers, where ever we are while taking the daily bath. This leads to the Anusandhaana of actual taking the holy dip in the seven sacred rivers punya we acquire. Anusandhaana is the main gate to enter the real punya and the siddhi. Also the simple formula of Sadaachaara of Acharya Sri Madhwaru. I have seen my father while taking the bath in the house daily remembered and pronounced.

GANGE CHA YAMUNECHA YEVA GODAVARI SARASWATI
NARMADE SINDHU KAVERI

Really we acquire the Punya of holy dip in these rivers. There is no doubt about this! River Saraswati is equal to Kaveri. The creation of Sri  Vishwamitraru to defeat Vasishthharu. Sri Vasishthharu simply floated and came near to the place where Sri Vishwamitraru was standing, looking at him the anger grew and raised the hand to beat. But the forceful current of Sarswati took Sri Vasishthharu and saved. Vishwamitra cursed to river Saraswati saying that your water should become blood. As a result of this the water of Saraswati turned to black. Later Saraswati got the name Yamuna. All such details are beautifully described in NADEE TAARATAMYA by our Mantralaya Prabhu Sri Raghavendrateertharu. The river Sarayu of Ayodhyaa took its birth from the Himalyan peak. This is very dear to our Sri Ramachandra Sri Laxmana. SARAYU &TUNGABHADRA are equal. Tunga and Bhadra these two separate rivers like twin rivers took birth from the highest peak of Varaaha  mountain    situated in Sahyadri. They both join together near B alehonnur in Koodli and got the name Tungabhadra. Tungabhadra we call it as the daughter of VARAAHA - VARAHAJA TANAYE, Owing to this the water of Tungabhdra is very sweet.

GANGA SNAANA TUNGA PAANA  and also KRISHNA SNAANA TUNGAPAANA is popular and famous Though our Sri Raghavendrateertharu stayed for a longtime in Kumbhakonam, the sacred remembrances of Sri Prahalada Avataara brought our Rayaru to to  Vara Mantralaya, the sacred bank of Tungabhadra. Rayaru decided to engage in Deergha Akhanda Japa  worshipping Sri Vedavyasadevaru, Sri Narahari, Manthhaanadamakar Sri Krishna Krishnatmaka Sri MoolaRamadevaru and Sri Anandateertha Bhagavatpadacharyaru, below the bhavya divya neela brindavana. Sri Vayu Aavesha Rayaru  is quite comfortable and blessing the devotees of this universe engaged in the welfare of Manukula. The selected spot is too holy and siddhi as Sri Prahaladarajaru in Sri Pahalad Avatara performed the yaaga. This Mantralaya is very dear to our Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru.
