Mantralaya-845

(The importance of Proshthhapadi  Bhaagavata Shravana and the devotional grandeur of Proshthhapadi in Mantralaya)

Date : Sep 5, 2019

Background

Dear Devotees:Namaskara.

YONTAHA PRAVISHYA MAM VAACHAVIMAAM PRASTUPTAAM
SANJEEVAYATYAKHILA SHAKTIDHARAHA SWADHAAMNAA
ANYAMSCHA HASTACHARANA SHRAVANTVAGAADHEEN
PRAANAAN NAMO BHAGAVATE PURUSHAAYA TUBHYAM

The above is the famous shloka of BHAAGAVATA. Dhruva after a long Japa and Tapa amazed to the divya darshana of SRI MANN NARAYANA  OM NAMO NARAYANAAYAA. Desired to describe but could not spell out! At that time Swami Sri Hari Sri Vishnu just touched the cheek of Dhruva with His Shankha, suddenly Dhruva pronounced the above shloka. The meaning is as below:

Sarvaantaryaami Sarvavyaapi Sarvashakta Sarvatantraswatantra Sri Hari your mere touch made me to awake, you charged my Pratibhaa – imagination, residing inside my heart you inspired me to speak out and all my five senses - Panchaendriyas are charged and recharged in the right direction. You are responsible for my very living. All my activities of heart and mind are all due to your Paramaanugraha and Blessings.

NAMO BHAGAVATE PURUSHOTTAMAAYA NAMO NAMAHA PRABHO!

We the devotees of Mantralaya, feel pure by pronouncing OM SRI RAGHAVENDRAYA NAMAHA

GURUPAADARAJASSANGAAT  VIMALAM KAVANAM MAMA
KALUSHAM VAARI  KATAKA RAJASAA KIM NA NIRMALAM

The muddy water becomes pure by dropping a few seeds of kataka and become pure. The  Mahakavya  of Sri Narayanacharyaru is too pure, holy and sacred by the holy touch of our GURUPAADARENU

The importance of Proshthhapadi  Bhaagavata Shravana and the devotional grandeur of Proshthhapadi in Mantralaya Rayaramatha at the Sannidhaana of Rayaru are described in Mantralaya(845).

Meaning:

Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru is the 32nd Pontiff from our Hamsanaamaka Paramatma’s Saakshaat Parampara of  JagadguruSri MannMadhwacharyara Moolamahasamsthhaana and the 17th pontiff from Sri MannMadhwacharyararu. Paramahamsarya Peethhaadhipatigalavaru! Mantralaya Series number  (8+4+5) when we make a total of all these numbers is 17 represent the great Mahima of Yatishreshthharu. Again when we make a total of  OM SRI RAGHAVENDRAYA NAMAHA eight letters of Devanaagari ASHTAAKSHAREE  four times of Siddhi Punya  Mahima and the greatness of our Rayaru – 8X4=32. So  32 and 17 are very important to we all our Mantralaya devotees of this universe. Rayaru is Karmaja Devata:

SHAKUKARNAAKHYA DEVASTU BRAHMA SHAAPASCHA BHOOTALE
PRAHALADA ITI VIKHYAATAHA BHOO BHAARA KSHAPANERATAHA
KALOWYUGE RAMASEVAAM KURVAN MANTRALAYE BHAVET
SA YEVA RAGHAVENDRAAKHYO YATI ROOPENA SARVADAA
BHAKTAANUKAMPAYAABHEESHTADAATAA BHAVATI SIDDHI BHAAK

Saahaladaavataari Manvi Sri Jagannathadasaru has proclaimed to the whole universe that Mantralaya Gururaat Yatiraat Sri Raghavendrateertharu is none but God.

DEVATEGALIVARIDAKE SANDEHA PADABEDA

After looking around almost in all the Mathas and the temples it is noticed that devotees are not properly doing the Gurustotra Pathhana. A humble appeal to all of us is that we have to pronounce correctly, understanding the meaning of the shloka with all purity and clarity without making any hurry. Physical and mental presence both should be centerd round our Mantralaya Rayaru. For a few devotees  it is not possible to perform the stotra completely of all the 35 Shlokas, they can chant and pathhana of

OM SRI RAGHAVENDRAYA NAMAHA as per their might and ability clearly with all concentration of mind and heart. If we do some hurry burry and try to finish off soon, we do not attain the desired fruits.

Rayara Gurustotra Pathhana Spashta Shuddha Uchchaara
Bhaktipurassara Pathhisalubeku! Avasara Gadibidi Ashuddha
Aspashta Pathhise Phala Shoonya! Idanu Naavu Maadalu Baaradu!
Namma Atma Santhushtigaagi Nidhaana Tanmayaraagi Pathhisona
NOORENTU SALA  ADU ASAADHYA YENISE
OM SRI RAGHAVENDRAYA NAMAHA PATHHISONA BHAKTI TAADAATMYADI

When we are at the Sannidhaana of Swami that moment is precious and valuable. Let us utilize in the best possible manner. We should  not please nor follow others.  For our heart’s satisfaction we have to perform our Gurustotra Pathhana. Then only we acquire the complete Anugraha of our Mantralaya Rayaru as per our desires.  APEKSHITA PRADAATAANYO RAGHAVENDRAAN NA VIDYATAE.

Rayaru is the only divine saint of this universe who can fulfill all the desired things in our life. As our Rayaru is capable of imparting Anugraha Siddhi abundantly. This is hundred percent sure and certain. This is the Sankalpa and the Sadaashaya of our Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharyararu. Generally we knowingly or unknowingly we commit certain grave mistakes while performing the stotra pathhana. We are not conscious and aware of all this. I wish to draw the attention of all  our devotees, the examples are below:

Sri Vyasarajateerthavarenyaru’s  Stuti Shloka for Sri Jaiteertharu:

CHITRAIHI PADAIHI CHA GAMBHEERAIHI VAAKYAIHI MAANYAAIHI  AKHANDITAIHI
GURU BHAAVAM VYANJAYANTEE BHAATEE SRI JAITEERTHA VAAK

We do mistakes in pronouncing the shloka

CHITRAPADAISCHA GAMBHEERAI VAAKYAIRMAANYAIR KHANDITAHI

Instead of  AKHANDITAIHI  we pronounce Khanditaihi. This will lot of different meaning. I the same way

Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharyaru’s 31st shloka of Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurustotra:

YO BHAKTYAA GURURAGHAVENDRA CHARANA DWANDAM SMARAN YAHA PATHET
STOTRAM DIVYAMIDAM SADAA NAHI BHAVET TASYA ASUKHAM KINCHANA

Generally all pronounce

Stotram Divyamidam Sadaa Nahi Bhavet Tasya Sukham Kinchana
Again this will give room for a different meaning.

So we all devotees of Mantralaya of this universe let us thoroughly understand the exact correct meaning and perform the pathhana with complete involvement and devotion. Let us forget ourselves in the Stotra Pathhana. Our love, affection, devotion and Regard are overflowed in our eyes. One small request

ASHTOTTARAKE KULITAAGA AVASARA GADIBIDI
BEGA MUGISUVA TAVAKA YEKE? EE GADIBIDI
PRAMAADAKE AASPADA! BEDA IDELLA!

When we engage ourselves during Ashtottara Pathhana, please give first preference to pure pronunciation for  Vaachana and Shravana! Understand the real greatness of our Rayaru’s Stotra.

TAADAATMYA TANMAYATE NIMAGNATE COMPLETE INVOLVEMENT are important our great Gnyanees always emphasize the same.

Ghatwaangaraja once asked Indradeva that how much time is left, it means the remaining time to welcome the death. Indradeva replied only one Muhurta, it means only 48 minutes. Utilize that time in the best possible manner and attain Moksha Sarvaarthha Mokshasiddhi, king Ghatwaanga said ok! Put all his efforts. Became successful in acquiring the Siddhi of Moksha. Sri Shukamaharshi  said to the king Pareekshitaraja, why do you worry and think too much. Still seven days a week’s time is there. Daily listen the most punyakara Bhaagavata without taking food.

HASIDA HOTTEYALE  BHAAGAVAT SHRAVANA MAADUMANASITTU
BHAKTI AADARA NISHTHHE SHRADDHEYALI!
BHAAGAVATA ARTHHAVAAGUVADU DITAVAAGI
PADEYUVE MOKSHA

As per the advice of Sri Shukamaharshi daily listened Bhaagavat by Sri Shukarushi. Without taking any food with all pure heart and mind with complete involvement. Understood the importance and the Mahima of Bhaagavata Shravana PROSHTHHAPADI.

Yekobhaava Taadaatmyadali Maiyellaa Kiviyaagi Aalise
Shravana Manana Nidhidhyaasadali Neleyaetu Mokshasiddhi Punya
Vishwada Bhaktare Shuddhamana Subuddhibhaava Balavaage
Shravanamaadiddu Spashta Arthhaisalu !

RIGHT PRESENTATION IN THE RIGHT WAY WE ARE SURE TO ACQUIRE THE EXPECTED GOOD RESULT. The devotional grandeur of the sacred celebration of PROSHTHHAPADI in our  Mantralaya Rayaramatha  by our Peethhaadhipati Parama Poojya Sri Subudhendrateertharu is echoing in every where at the divya sannidhaana of our Rayaru in Mantralaya on the sacred bank of Tungabhadra!

PROSHTHHAPADI BHAAGAVATA GUNJAARAVA! PRATIDHWANI! MAARDANI NIJAKOO ADBHUTA!
