Meaning

Here is the introduction of a devotee of Mantralaya Prabhu.Though four decades have passed still the incident lights and delights even today.

Adivyacharya Rajpurohit resident of Gunhal village(Taluka:Yelaburga,Dist Raichur,Karnataka,India),was performing YAJANA-YAAJANA,a religious priest doing all the religious programs in the surrounding thirteen villages.Kushtagi Adaviraya(PraanDevaru),he always believed.A great emotional devotee of Sri GuruRayaru. Well read in vedic philosophy,all the stotras,mantras were always on his tongue.Attained perfection and gained mastery.He used to be invited to sit to the ALANKAARA during the aaradhana of Rayaru to several places.Early morning at 3-30am Adivyachary used to get up and recite the mantras-suprabhata-udayaraaga and stotras.

He had a strong desire that he must see Rayaru-Rayaru should become PRATYAKSHA to him.As days passed on the desire became too strong.Always remembering Raghavendrateertharu and pronouncing Mantralaya-Mantralaya became his routine Gayatri.
Rayaru is sitting in the Brindavana and Rayaru-Raghanna give me PRATYAKSHA DARSHANA,he used to pray.

For this he gave up sleeping on the soft bed for several years. One day Rayaru appeared in his dream and asked him why you are so particular to have PRATYAKSHA DARSHANA.You are my man.

Just like Gopala Dasaru Adivyacharya had maintained the routine of cleaning the Maruti Temple of Gunhal Village.Rayaru seen in the dream no doubt,to confirm the Anugraha of Rayaru Adivyacharya decided to clean the Maruti Temple twice at about 12-30pm,at that time no one will come to the temple,twice after cleaning,he should get a coin as atoken of Rayara Anugraha.With this Sankalpa two times he cleaned the temple.Everything was clean,neat and tidy.After that he was surprised to see a coin in the temple.Plucked it,touched the coin to his eyes,plcaed on his head,overwhelmed with joy,tears rolled on his cheeks.And said that GURURAYA how kind you are.Rayaru listens each and every syllabi of his devotees,grants and sanctions with all magnanimity. From that day Adivyacharya placed that coin in the poojaroom and started worshipping.

RAYARA PARAMANUHRAHA will be to those who Believe RAYARU FIRMLY.Nambikettavarillavo Ee Gurugala Nambade Keduvarunto
