Mantralaya-895

(The divinity, humanity and the universal affection of our Rayaru and the importance of previous births of Sri Raghavendrateertharu)

Background

Dear Devotees:Namaskara,

The greatest devotee Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharyaru has described in the 14th shloka of  Sri Raghavendra Stotra - Gurustotra that:

AGAMYA MAHIMA LOKAE RAGHAVENDRO MAHAA YASHAAHAA
SRI MADHWAMATA DUGABDHI CHANDAHA AVATU SADAA ANAGHAHA

The wordings of the shloka are 100% true. We are unable to know the Mahima of  Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru! Rayaru is pure and holy, is like a Moon to the ocean of

of Sri Anandateertha Bhagavatpaadacharyaru's Madhwamata. On the day of full Moon the ocean overflows with joy and happiness! In the same way Acharya Sri Guru Madhwacharyaru is highly

pleased to the noble seva of Sri Harisarvottama and Sri Vayujeevottama. The happiness and joy can be quoted in the words of our H. H. Sri Vadeendrateertharu's Guruguna Stavana:

VYASENA VYUPTA BEEJAHA SHRUTI BHUVI BHAGAVATPADA LABDHAANKURASHREEHI
PRATYAIREESHAT PRABHINNO JANI JAYAMUNINA SAMYADUDDBHINAA SHAKHHA
MOUNEESHA VYASARAJAAT UDITA KISALAYHA PUSHPITOYAM JAYEENDRAAT
ADYA SRI RAGHAVENNDRAAT VILASATI PHALITO MADHWA SIDDHANTA SHAAKHEE

The above description is really meticulous. What more we can describe than this!

TVAMEVA SHARANAM GACHCHHA SARVA BHAAVENA BHAKTA
TAT PRASAADAAT SHANTIM STHHAANAM PRAAPYSI SHAASHWATAM

We have to remember with devotion and affection from AAPAADA MOULI and fill in our heart the divine personality of Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru and surrender to the lotus feet with firm faith and strong belief just like our Sri GuruJagannathadasaru!

The divinity, humanity and the universal affection of our Rayaru and the importance of previous births of Sri Raghavendrateertharu are described in Mantralaya(895).  

Meaning:

Karmaja Deva Sri Shankukarnaru’s immense seva of Sri Hari is a great record in Bhaagavata. The famous SRI NARASIMHA PURANA mentions:

SHANKUKARNAAKHYA DEVASTU BRAHMA SHAAPASCHA BHOOTALE
PRAHALADA ITI VIKHYAATAHA BHOO BHAARA KSHAPANE RATAHA
BAAHLEEKO RAJA SATTAMAHA HIRANNYAKASHYAPO PUTRAHA PRAHALADO BHAGAVAT PRIYAHA
VAYUNAA CHA SAMAAVISHTAHA MAHABALA SAMNVITAHA 

These two avataaras paved the golden path of Vipratva. It appears the service rendered in  Daitya and Kshatriya Shankukarnaru found little so desired the Seva of Sri Hari Sri Vayu and Sri GuruMadhwaru to the satisfaction of His heart for Vipratva - Hamsatva  - Paramahamsatva. In a word aspiration of Complete surrender to Sri Hari. As already said Sri Bahleekarajaravataara has done tremendousrvice to Sri Hari -  Sri Krishna Paramatma. Flew on the open sky like a bird and enjoyed the devotional values. No one can think nor dream in terms of such noble ideas! It is possible only to our ParamaBhaagavatottama  SRI PRAHALADARAJA -  SRI BAHLEEKARAJA - SRI VYASARAJA - SRI RAGHAVENDRATEERTHARU. The four avataaras are like the four pillars of our Religion, Culture, Universal love and Universal Uddhaara. The agendas are all for the benefits of our Mantralaya devotees. The Avataaras of Divine Chetana is nothing but the Mahima of Sri Hari. One more thing I wish to describe that the dedicated seva of  Shankukarnaru  is really amazing! As Sumukha Shankukarnaru was the gate keeper Dwaarapaalaka of Sri by name Sumukha and as Shankukarna assisting Sri Brahmadevaru in the Pooja of Sri Hari. Simultaneously doing the seva is itself a miracle. Once  all the Gods went to Vaikuntha to complain about the atrocity and the cruelty of Daitya Hiranyakashyapu. Ok I will soon look into it and solve your problem permanently and sent them back. Sri Hari looking at Sumukha cursed to take birth in Asura family – Daityakula that too as the son of Hiranyakshyapu! With all polite and obedience simply looked at Sri Hari. Do not worry. I will be with you always and protect you.To kill Hiranyakashyapu your birth as is  his son is absolutely necessary as you are great Sri Haribhakta Parama Bhaagavatottama, to prove practically that I am everywhere! Sarvatra Vyaapta - Sarva Shakta – Sarvatantra Swatantra – Sumukha Shankukarna your role is main! So I have given the curse:u.  This is for your betterment: A BLESSING IN DISGUISE.

So below the shloka:

SHANKARNAAKHYA DEVASTU BRAHMA SHAAPASCHA BHOOTALE
PRAHALADA ITI VIKHYAATAHA BHOO BHAARA KSHAPANE RATAHA
BAAHLEEKO RAJA SATTAMAHA HIRANNYAKASHYAPO PUTRAHA PRAHALADO BHAGAVAT PRIYAHA
VAYUNAA CHA SAMAAVISHTAHA MAHABALA SAMNVITAHA!

Sri Prahalada Avataara is the base of Devotion – Bhakti paved way for  Thus  Sri Baahleeka - Sri Vyasaraja and  Sri Raghavendra Avataaras are all important, special and unique.

ANU RENU TRUNA KAASHTHHA PARIPURNA
SARVATRA SADAA SRI HARI SRI MAANNARAYANA

There is no place in this world without Sri Hari. The strong belief and and the firm faith of Prahaladaru was constant in the heart of Sri Prahaladarajaru. Always protecting His devotees day and night, in sleep or awake always taking care! This is the greatness of Sri Hari. Paramabhaagavaottamaru’s  Siddhi of Pranava Nantra OM NAMO NARAYANA is great! During Bahleeka Avataara became very dear and near to Sri Hari. All the seva of Bahleekaru  were liked very much Sri Krishna, thus prayed the end of Avataara in the hands of Sri Vayudevaru for Vipratva - Hamsatva – Paramahamsatva. Sri Baahleekarajaru’s Prayers became fruitful. Praise worthy.Sri Shankukarnaru’s devotional height went on in enhancing and increasing  through the Avataaras.

Sri Vyasarajaru’s extraordinary knowledge and scholarship  GNYANAM VIGNYANA SAHITAM acquired the Purnaanugraha of Sri Saraswateedevi:

OM NAMO BRAHMANEDHAARANAM MAE ASTWA NIRAAKARANAMDHAARAYITAA
BHOOYAASAM KARNAYOHO SHRUTAM MAACHODHWA MAMAAMUSHMAM

Sri Vyasarajaravataara and Sri Raghavendra Avataara tirelessly worked day and night for the upliftment of Manukula, Manukuloddhaara, several discourses, seminars, Patthhas to boost up the knowledge and at the same the development of personality on the guidelines of Sadaachaara. During Sri Vyasaavatara established the universities through out the length and the breadth of our country.  Hampi, Kaashi, Udupi, Sonda – Sode, Tanjore, Madhurai and Tamilnadu were the prime centers of learning. Taught not only Vedopanishadas and Shastras but also and trained our culture, Sanaatana Culture and produced Sanskrit scholars with high caliber.

It is significant to know that Sri Vadirajateertharu and Sri Vijayeendrateertharu were the classmates and learnt under the able and the noble guidance of Sri Vyasarayateertharu in Hampi. Sri Vyasarayaru adorned the chair as the chancellor and vice chancellor of all the universities at that time in Hampi. One more important achievement of Sri Vyasarajaru was that for continuously twelve years performed the Archana of Tirumala Sri Srinivasadevaru. Not only that certain norms and rules like byelaws made by our Sri Vyasarajaru are all being continued even today. So impartial, amicable and made easy access. The unforgettable sacred seva is remembered as long as the Sun and the Moon are shining in the sky.

Samskruti Samsmruti Shashwatagolisida Shreyobhaajanaru Sri Vyasarayagurugalu
Tirumaleya Sri Srinivasa Swamiya 12 Varsha Swataha Taave Poojisi Sevisida
Mahatmaru! Mundina Pooja krama Noyamaavali Roopisi
Mundinavarige Rajamaarga Kalpisida Vishwada Shreshthha
Daivee Santaru Sri Vyasarajaru!

Sri Raghavendraavataara further broadened the Seva of Sri Harisarvottama and Sri Vayujeevottama No one can excel in Bhakti Gnyana Vairaagya Paanditya and no one can become equal to our Rayaru. At the same time words fall short to describe the abundant great qualities of welfare to our Manukla. Immensely Anugraheetaru by Sri Vedavyasa, Sri Narahari, Manthhaanadamakar Sri Krishna Krishnatmaka Sri MoolaRamadevaru and our Kulaguru Sri Hanuma Sri Bheema Guru Sri MannMadhwaru

And even then I have put my efforts to describe something by the Paramaanugraha of our Kuyladaiva Yatiraat Gururaat Sri Raghavendrateertharu.

The Shloka of Sri Raghavendravijayakaararu is itself a great witness.

ASAMT GURUNAAM AADHIKYAM KAVIHI KAHA VAA ANUVARNYET
TATHHAAPI TAT PRASAADENA BHAKTYAA KINCHIT VADAAMI AHAM

Sri Raghavendrateertharu like a swan happily did the swimming in Poorva Meemaamsa and Uttara Meemaamsa:

SRII POORNABODHA PAYOBDHI PAARA
POORVOTTARAA AMITA TARANGA CHARTSU HAMSAA!

Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu is immensely Anugraheetaru by Goddess  Sri Saraswateedevi Vidyalaxmi Sri Vidyalaxmi and Sri Ashtalaxmi. Sri MoolaRamaarchaanugraha Bhaajanaru - Paatraru!

This is great Boon to our Mantralaya Rayaramatha. Sri Vayudevaru’s Anugraha as our Rayaru is

SRI AAVESHARU BRINDAVANA GUHAANTARAGATARU!  Rayaru is Sukharooparu, quite comfortable in the cave breathing perfectly and engaged in Akhanda Deergha Japa Archane for the welfare of the devotees of this universe. Sri PrasannaVenkatadasaru  has described in one of his sulaades  that Gaanadhaala Panchmukhi Sri Praanadevaru is residing in the heart of Sri Raghavendrateertharu! As frequently going to Gaanadhaal to perform Japa and Anushthhaana at the holy sannidhaana of our great Sri Hanumadevaru.

Mantralaya Prabhu Sri Raghavendrateerthara Antargata Hanumathaneethaa! So our Mantralaya Rayaru with a divine smile blessing us all the time 24X7. So TUNGEYANGALA MANTRALAYA MANGALAKARA always auspicious. So devotees are getting success, all the desired things are fulfilled.

YAAVAT PAVANAM VASTI DEHE

We have to remember the divine personality of our Rayaru from the bottom to the top and fill in our heart all the obstacles are wiped off and the desired wishes are sanctioned within no time. RAYARU IS NAMO ATYANTA DAYAALAVE - THE KINDEST DIVINE SAINT IN THIS UNIVERSE.
