Mantralaya-170

(Vardhanti Day of our Sri Raghavendrateertharu - 2)

Date : March 6 2007

Background

On the sacred bank of Tungabhadra in Mantralaya Tungeyangala, two miracles of Rayaru that happened on the birth day of our divine  Sri  Raghavendrateertharu in Mantralaya and the Great Sangeetotsava that is Naadahaara Samarpane are described in Mantralaya(170).

Meaning

I wish to share a miracle that happened on Phalguna Shukla Saptami - the birth day of our Mantralaya Rayaru.Devotees from Chennai and all the places gathered in Mantralaya. On 23rd.February, Dr.R.Ganeshan arrived from Chennai with nearly more than 265 artists. 23 lady artists, 190 men artists accompanied by their assistants along with various types of musical instruments. Veena, Violin, Tabla,Khanjara,Ghatam,Tavil, Harmonium,Nadaswaram and different types of musical instruments with several characteristics landed on the Holy land of Mantralaya .Noted personalities like Mannaragudi Vasudevan,Tiruppamburam brothers and several others participated in Naadahaara.

It is all the will and wish of Rayaru and the organising capacity of Dr.R.Ganeshan who spends for the function liberally, He himself is a great singer,musician ,when he starts singing with playing the musical instruments a saint will come sit and enjoy, relish and bless. Others cannot see him. That saint is none but Mantralaya Rayaru. Such a blessed one He is ! Rayaru is highly pleased for the kind and great programme of Naadahaara Samarpane.

All the artists felt extremely happy and comfortable,they felt as though they are in the lap of their mothers. Rayaru took care of each and every one through Dr.Ganeshan. As soon as they arrived to Mantralaya, they took Rayara Darshana and Sang before Rayaru that they are in the Seva of Rayaru for tomorrow that is Phalguna Shukla Saptami. All went away to take rest. But Dr. Ganeshan could not get sleep. His mind and heart were fully occupied with the required arrangements of the great Naadahaara Karyakrama. Along with his ten associates he entered the praakara for the arrangements at 3.30 am. Brahmi Muhurta. While doing Pradakshina Dr. Ganeshan got the smell of Ghee and Havissu which are offered to Yaaga. There was a Yaaga kunda in front of the audio room. A month back the Yaaga was perfomed. Every thing is dry. Only the dried ash-Angaara was there.All have noticed that including Dr.Ganeshan.

As Dr.Ganeshan got the smell of Havissu,Ghee, to the surprise of all the smoke started coming from the Homakunda. Nobody lighted nothing, at that odd hour.Only ten associates of Ganeshan were in the Praakaara.It is a Miracle that Rayaru inaugurated the Naadahaara at 3.30 AM on the day as per the schedule.The smoke was coming till 10.30 am on 24th. Morning that all the devotees witnessed and felt happy.The Sri Mutt personnels,Archakas, devotees became dumb seeing all this. Sangeeta Priya Rayaru is sitting in the Brindavana and encouraged the Naadahaara Samarpane. I am here in Mantralaya and with you always like a shelter and protecting you as per the Sankalpa of Sri Hari. The audio room’s front surrounding is really sacred. The Mutt’s staff Sri Achyut who is always in the audio room is really blessed by Rayaru. The devotees after witnessing the Homa Dhooma started chanting "Namo Namo Guru Raghavendra Om Sri Raghavendraya Namaha" and they became too emtional with devotion and ecstasy. Then the participants of the Naadahaar with their musical instruments joined in the procession of Sri Prahladarajaru with Bhakti round the Brindavana Pradakshina for three times and then the Naadahaara began. After seeing all this one can imagine that it is nothing but Yakshaloka and Gandharvaloka.

Continuos Sangeeta Seva was in progress, just like the flow of Tungabhadra river. The whole of Mantralaya was filled and thrilled with Naadahaara rhythm. Naadasudha impressed a lot. In the individual renderings the lady artists sang two songs.The Vaibhava, devotional ­ emotional ecstasy cannot be described in words both the artists and the devotees.
They sang (1) Indu Yenage Sri Govinda of Rayaru and  (2) Bhagyada Lakshmi Baaramma of Dasavarenya Sri PurandaraDasaru.

The dried ash of a month back Homa Kunda started again burning on Phalguna Shukla Saptami is nothing but a Miracle of Mantralaya Rayaru that the whole Naadahaara is agreeable to Rayaru. The smoke of Yagna Kunda was the Naandi by Rayaru for Naadahaara.

Every year on this auspicious day Devotees are experiencing the Miracles of Rayaru. The Divine Saint is in Brindavana to Bless all of us.
