On this auspicious Chaaturmaasa I Pray to Kallur Sri Mahalaxmidevi to Bless and Protect the Devotees of Mantralaya.

Madhwa Shishyo Shreshthham Sri GuruRaghavendram Narhari Priyam

Sri Raghavendrateertharu is very dear to Sri Narahari-Rama-Krishna - Vedavyuasaru. As Uttanooru Sri Gopaladasaru has said in the Suladi.

Narahari Krishna Rama Siri Vedavyasa
Yeraderadu Naalakku Hari Moorutigalu
Parivaara Sahitaagi Siri Sahita Nindu
Sura Guru Madhwacharyare Modalaagi
Taruvaayadalinnu Taaratamyaanusaara
Pari Pari Yatigalu Irutipparilli
Sri Hari Bhakutara Paalisuta Irutihanilli
Mantralaya Rayara Divya Sannidhaanadali

Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu's Sannidhaana is too sacred and holy. We are highly lucky and proud to say that we are the Devotees of Mantralaya. So we always Pray

Avatu Tvam (Avatvam) Sadaa Sri Guro Raghavendra
Prabho Mae Shirasyaasu Hastam Nidhehi

Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhouma  you have to Protect me always and  Prabho your Blessing Hand should always be on my head, is the Constant Prayer of all the Devotees of the world today.H.H.Sri Sudheendrateertharu handing over the detail charge of  Vidya Matha Vedanta Saaamraajya to Sri Raghavendrateertharu and the glory of our Sri Hamsanaamaka Paramatma's Saakshaat Parampara of Jagadguru Sri Madhwacharyaru's Moola Mahasamsthhaansa of Matha

After the completion of Paramahamsa Peethha Pradaana and Naamakarana of His new successor as SRI RAGHAVENDRATEERTHARU as per the direction will and the wish  of Sri MoolaRamadevaru with grandeur and affection at the Royal court of Tanjore. Blessed the king Raghunatha Naik, the entire royal paraphernalia and the citizens  our 16th. Paramahamsaru Sri Sudheendrateertharu  decided to return to Kumbhakonam along with Sri Raghavendrateertharu. The joy and happiness of Kumbhakonam Sajjanas knew no bonds ! They simply rejoiced and celebrated as Festival. Arranged the grand Procession of Ubhaya Swamijis. The grandeur of Pura Pravesha, the decoration of  Kumbhakonam by the Sajjanas excelled. The devotees felt gratitude by the Divya Darshana of  our Yatiraat Gururaat Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru:

Sri Vijayeendra Karaabjothha Sri SudheendraVaraPutraka Sri Raghavendrateerthara

The daily holy routine of Ubhaya Shreepaadas Lokoddhaara Pooja - Paathha - Pravachana  made the devotees that as though they are experiencing the Divya Daivee Loka Vihaara ! Guruvarya Sri Sudheendrateertharu handed over the detail charge of  Vedanta Samraajya In Sri Raghavendra Vijaya Pandit Sri Narayanacharyaru described meticulously:

Sri Ramarchaam Vyasadevopalowdwow Shaastrowghaanaam Pustakam Chaamarecha
ShwetaChhatramSwarnayaanam SaVaadyam PraadaadasmaiRajaChinham Sa Sarvam

Sri Sudheendrateertharu's detail handing over the charge of Sri Hamsanaamaka Paramatma's Saakshaat Parampara of Sri Madhwacharyaru's Moola Mahasamsthhaana Vedanta Samraajya to Sri Raghavendrateertharu depicts the immense affection and satisfaction of Sri Sudheendrateertha Guruvarenyaru. The Pratima of Sri MoolaRama, two Pratimas of Sri Vedavyasa, abundant granthhas, they were countless a heap of all the Shaastras: Shaastrowghaanaam Pustakam, Shweta Chhatra, Chaamara with silver handle, Golden Pallakki, decorated Golden Mantapa to be placed on the elephant to sit( Ambaari), it is important to know that Maandhaata is the  name of the Elephant of our Vidya Matha., Flute Venu Veena Mrudanga Taalaa and also Chaturvidha Vaadya of Shankha Maddale Kahale Nagaari(drum), Golden and silver Danda of RajaMaryadaall the Veda Mantraghoshakas, Stuti Paathhakas, Vandi Maagadhas Day light Torch Hagalu Deevatige ( a great prestigious honour to the extraordinary personalities) and all the embalms, seal and the signs of Paramahamsa Emperor of Vedanta Vedanta Saamraajya.

WE REALLY OVERWHELMED WITH JOY AND AMAZED TO LOOK AT THE VAIBHAVA GRANDEUR OF OUR SRI VIDYA MATHA.

We are happy to know the culture - Socio - Economic Religious contentment, harmony and Satisfaction in those days. The financial stability, the Anugraha of  Sri Hari Vayu GuruMadhwaru  is quite remarkable. Both Sri Saraswati and Sri Mahalaxmi  Vaibhava joined together during the period of :

Sri Vijayeendra Karaabjothha Sri SudheendraVaraPutraka Sri Raghavendrateertharu

Continued by our Paramahamsacharyaru and today Mantralaya Matha - Vidya Matha is highly meticulous and is now INDRANAMARAVATI Surapanaalayadante Mantralaya as our Dasaryas have described. It is nothing but the Mantralaya Bhaagya and Punya to the Mantralaya Devotees by our Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru.

After handing over the detail charge of Sri Matha in Kumbhakonam our 16th. Pontiff Paramahamsa  H.H.Sri Sudheendrateertharu breathed a sigh of relief and satisfaction, that the Peethha is offered to the most able and the noble chetana.

Aparokshagnyani  Sri Sudheendrateertharu came to know that his life span is ripened and asked Sri Raghavendrateertharu to go for Sanchaara together to Hampi:

Acharya RajaMaanaShrutiShikharaKalaaRajyaLaxmeehee Sudheendrae
MuktaaTam Tungabhadraa Tata BhuviGurubhihiBhraajamaanam Tapobhihi

 Rajantam Kumbhaghone Raghupati Charana Sevanaaasakta Chittam
Vidwasam Vardhamaanam GunaGanaJaladhim Samshritaa RAGHAVENDRAM

Sri Sudheendrateertharu highly pleased by the Darshana of Hampi Sri Rudradevaru and Vayudevaru  - Hanuma Bheema Madhwaru at Chakrateertha - Sri YantroddhaaraSwami. Yativarenyaru delighted to land on the bank of Tungabhadra in Hampi and the surrounding area. Maalyavanta Parvata Rushyamooka Parvata. Moved towards Anegundi at the abode of Kishkindha. Sri Sudheendrateertharu very much liked the Kaalaadri island and selected that this is the most suitable sacred place to reside permanently for Parandhaama situated in Tungabhadra - today which is famous and popular it as Navavrundavana. Sat for Tapa in the beginning took only milk and later on only on Uposhana, only a spoon of Teerthha and Yogivaryaru did Deha Tyaaga - attained the lotus feet of Sri Hari. Sri Sudheendrateertharu's Brindavana is at Navavrundavana, it was called  Kaaladri at that time. When the Brindavanas became NINE it became NAVAVRUNDAVANA.

Sri Raghavendrateertharu felt like an orphan child and wept though Paramahamsaru and Paramagnyani. The affectionate bondage of Guru Sri Sudheendrateertharu was such ! Could not bear the departure of his Guru. SRI RAGHAVENDRA VIJAYAKAARARU described beautifully from that day onwards Vedanta Saamraajya Laxmidevi lived with our Sri MoolaRama Paada Sevaasakta Sri Raghavendrateertharu in Kumbhakonam.

Our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru is a unique yatiraat gururaat in our Vidya Matha. Each and every  Avataara of Karmaja Devata Shankukarnaru enhanced and enriched the Punya and we find a total summ of all this in Sri Raghavendra Avataara. A GREAT BOON TO MANUKULA. Chaaturmaasa Shraavana we very much remember our Rayaru. What a Mahaan Karunaalu Samachitta Sthhitapragnya Daivatva Divyatva. Reserved everything to the devotees and distributing liberally to all irrespective of caste, creed, religion, nation and gender.

Aapaada Mouli Paryantaam Guroonaam Aakrutim Smaret
Tena Vighnaaha Pranyashanti Siddhyanti Cha Manorathhaaha

Rayaru is so kind that when we remember with gratitude and devotion the Daivee Vyaktitva of Rayaru from bottom to the top, all our obstacles will be removed, simply vanished and Desired things will be fulfilled. 

OM NAMO MANTRALAYAAKHYAAPURE !

Hats off to your long foresight, kind concern and affection to protect us.

For the sake of us YOU ARE IN MANTRALAYA - BELOW THE BRINDAVANA

ENGAGED IN DEERGHA AKHANDA JAPA OF SRI HARI.
