IBHARAMAPURA APPA DARSHANA - 13

Date : Dec 20 2007

 

Background

The most sacred Pandava Poojita Sri Panchamukhi Praana Deva idol Ibharamapura's Appa received by the Maharaja of Mysore and the Miracle of Appa, that saved the devotees by the blessings of Sri Hari Vayu and Mantralaya Sri Raghavendra Gurusarvabhoumaru are described in Mantralaya(213) - IbharamapuraDarshana(13).

Meaning

Ibharamapura's Appa a great devotee of Rayaru obtained the most sacred Pandava Poojita Sri Panchamukhi Praanadevaru's idol which was hidden in the underground of the Mysore palce. Sri Mummadi Krishnaraja Vodeyar the Maharaja of Mysore liberally handed over the idol along with several ornaments and silk clothes. Thus became highly grateful by offering to satpaatra like Appa. From that day onwards Appa always carried Panchamukhi Praanadevaru where ever he went.Worshipped till his last breath. Even now the idol is being worshipped daily by the Vamshastharu of Ibharamapura's Appa. It is quite heartening to know that Mantralaya Rayaru though lived in Bhikshaalaya - Bichali for twelve years happily accepting the seva of Sri Appanacharya, daily meditating at the sanctum of Panchamukhi, got the Divya Darshana of Swami Tirumala Srinivasa there only, Panchamukhi Praanadevaru was highly pleased towards Rayaru. Such a divine Panchamukhi idol was with Appa. Which became the Aaaraadhya Upaasana of Appa. Appa with his noble qualities by the blessings of Rayaru has bestowed the desired things to the devotees.

The house of Koosana Kalale became the divine center owing to the arrival of abundant devotees for the sake of Appa. Ibharamapura Chetana simply went on wiping the tears of the needy satvikas and maximum blessings for them by Mantralaya Rayaru. Thus this house turned into a sanctum. It went to such a level that the leprosy etc. diseased patients after taking the holy bath of the bathed waters of Appa cured and became hail and healthy. Appa's bathed water was full of fragrance. The holy Sudha Parayana has yielded better fruits to the devotees.

Once Appa had been to Nanjangud. There Appa resided in the house of Sri Charana Rangamma. In her house the water scarcity was high. To dig a well they have to go deep minimum hundred feet. She expressed her difficulties. Kind Appa made a mark from his finger in the back yard and asked to dig the well there only. To the surprise of all the abundant sweet water came soon after digging about 30-40feet. We can say these are the Miracles of this Satvika Chetana. Everything was in accordance with the Sadaachaara of our Sri Madacharya. Dear devotees please see how sacred are our residents of the bank of Tungabhadra.

Again there is one more instance in Nanjanagud. Appa as per the invitation of Anantaramaiah went to his residence for the pooja of Sri Panchamukhi Praanadevaru. After the pooja the couple detailed their unhappiness as they did not have the Santaana. Ibharamapura's Appa blessed the couple and offered Santana Yantra. By this a son was born. But he was too weak, lean and thin. The parents worried a lot. They never bothered about the comments of others. The couple said that by whose blessings he is born, the same blessings will protect him. The couple prayed a lot with devotion to Appa on that day. That night Ibharamapura's Chetana appeared in the dream of that noble couple. Appa took the child on his lap and slowly touched the body and said to Antantaramaiaha's wife that this child will be healthy with full life span (Purnaayusha),earn name and fame and well placed in the society with high position. In the morning to the surprise of all the house of Anantaramaiaha was full of fragrance with Kasturi and sandal oil. That pleasing fragrance was nothing but the power of Malkhed Sri Jaiteertharu's Sudha Paaraayana and of Mantralaya Rayaru's Parimala Paaraayana. The joy and satisfaction of the noble couple at Nanjanagud cannot be described in words. Really by the Blessings of Appa Anantaramaiaha's son shined as per the wordings of Appa of Ibharamapura.

Our heart will throb to visit and enjoy the panorama of Mantralaya and Bhikshaalaya. Bichali Sri Appanacharya has said in the famous Sri Raghavendra Mangalashtaka, it is appropriate to quote:

Sri Raghavendro Yatiraat Gururmae SyadBhayaapaha GnyanaBhaktiSuputraayuhu
Yasha Shree PunyaVardhana

Those who are dear to Rayaru will always lead a happy life and will get Courage,Gnyana,Bhakti, Suputra,Longlife,Wealth and Punya will be increase.

Ibharamapura's Appa distributed the siddhi liberally to all who so ever requested and believed. Each and every action of Appa was nothing but LOKOPAKAARA. Everything was in the frame work of Dharma - Sadaachara of Sri Madacharya and the Paramanugrha of Sri Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru. Sprinkled the Siddhi,Shakti and Yukti of Sri HanumantaDevaru.

We are highly indebted to this great Punya Chetana.
