Mantralaya-166

Background

Meaning

His daily routine in the house was also very systematic and simple. Daily Performed the Pooja-Alankara-Naivedya-Vaishvadeva-Hastodaka-Maha Mangalaarati-Anna Santarpana, Purana ­Pravachana,Satsanga And several other beneficial social activities. Like our Bichchale Sri Appanacharya a great devotee of Mantralaya Rayaru, never he proclaimed nor he made any propagation that he was a Bhakta of Rayaru. The Essence and gist of his thinking, action and behaviour was Sri Harisarvottama and Vayujeevottama. Satisfied and contented in life. The only desire of Sri Rangacharya Krishnacharya Joshi- R.K.Joshi was to see Rayaru that too Pratyaksha.

As per the Seva, request and desire of Joshi Mantralaya Rayaru one day gave Darshana in form of a young boy of 5 years that is Baala Roopa.At that time Sri Joshi was performing the Pradakshina to the Mruttika Brindavan of Rayaru at Brahmapur Gulbarga that too at about late 11.15p.m.That day as usual his walking, mixing with friends and talking became late,but did not go home,as per the Sankalpa went to the Rayara Matha and started the Pradakshina .

The young lad looked smiled seeing Sri Joshi.Owing to the late odd time, there was none except the boy and Joshi. The boy waited till the completion of the Pradakshina Namaskara smilingly. After that Joshi looked round and searched for the boy but he cannot found him. As usual returned home. That night Mantralay Rayaru appeared in the dream of Sri Joshi, and asked him you always asked for Pratyaksha Darshana ,when I came and looked at you smilingly, you have no courtesy even to talk with me. He wanted to answer  but immediately disappeared. Joshi felt a lot. I did not even talk, when the Mantralaya Prabhu was before him in Baala Roopa, what a fool and wicked I am! Joshi though willing to talk but as per the Sankalpa of Pradakshina Seva did not talk. Repented a lot! Prayed Rayaru to forgive for his follies and mistakes. It seems his Prayer knocked the doors of Mantralaya.

After one week MantralayaRayaru appeared in the dream of Sri Joshi and offered dry coconut full of sugar candy, Mantrakshatae and an apple. Immediately Joshi got up from the bed and surprised to see the dry coconut full of Sugar Candy, Mantrakshatae and an apple. His joy knew no bonds. Though it was night, danced with ecstasy chanting Bichchale Sri Appanacharya’s Gurustotra with loud voice with great Devotion.

News spread like a wild fire in Gulbarga. There was a big crowd before the house of Sri Joshi, almost like a fair (Jaatra).All took the Darshana and praised his Bhakti. People verified Mantrakshatae, Sugar Candy and apple, all were from Mandalay. In Gulbarga owing to the summer, the market was flooded with Mangoes and not even a single apple was available. A Devotee of Chennai offered one basketful of finest apples. That apple Rayaru gave to Sri Joshi. We were really surprised to see the devotional value of this Sober Bhakta.

This offering is nothing but the Blessings of Rayaru saying that: Joshi I am here with you nothing to worry and thus blessed with Paramaanugraha.I am quite happy and proud to share that these were the great qualities of my Guru. Actually he had taught me Sanskrit in High School for three years and inculcated all the best and the essence of our culture. I thought it is my sincere duty to share this incident-Miracle to our world devotees, so described in The most Sacred MANDALAY SERIES. In the light of Mantralaya many have enlightened in their life in different ways. Those who are always in the deep thinking of Mantralaya have achieved prosperity, peace and happiness both in Iha and Para.

Again the wordings of Sri Guru JagannathaDasaru : "Nambi Kettavarillavo Ee Gurugala Nambadae Keduvarunto" is the superb faith TO BE STRICTLY ADHERED. Namo Namo Guru Raghavendra.
