Date : Jun 13 2007

Background

The importance of Bhakti ­ Gnyaana ­ Vairaagya and the miracle of Mantralaya devotees are described in Mantralaya(185).

Meaning

The devotional growth of Mantralaya devotees are hidden in the importance of Bhakti ­ Gnyaana and Vairaagya.In Bhagavata there is a sentence that:

"Vina Gnyaanam Kuto Bhaktihi Kuto Bhaktim Vina ChaTat."

It is highly essential to obtain the Bhakti and Gnyaana about Sri Hari. It is the prime duty of all of us to have the sacred knowledge about Sri Hari ­ Sri ManNarayana ­ the omniscient and omnipotent,who is SARVATANTRA SWATANTRA ­ ALL IN ALL ­ SARVATRA and purna everywhere. "Purnaat Purnamidam Purnamuchchyatae. Taena Vina Trunamapi Na Chalati." Sri Hari is Every where: Anu Renu Trunakaashtha Paripurna. This is the knowledge Gnyaana understanding about our Vasudeva,Srinivasa,Sri Krishna,Sri Rama. When we come to know this the Bhakti automatically ,spontaneously floods in our hearts. One should abandon selfish  motive and too much of attachment which is self centered only to the personal enriching. That is called as Vairaagya.A Satvika who is having Bhakti and Gnyaana, he will easily fall in the line of Vairaagya.Our Malkhed Sri Jaiteeretharu, Mantralaya  Sri Raghavendra Gurusarvabhoumaru are the great and Punya Chetanas who acquired all these three Noble qualities at its highest, we can say as high as Himalaya. When we Satvikas perform the Seva of Mantralaya Rayaru we will easily and definitely obtain Bhakti ­ Gnyaana ­ Vairaagya in our lifetime.

Regarding Rayara Seva please see the following lines:

Sudheendraabdhi Sambhootaan Raghavendra Kalaanidhin
Seve Sugnyaana Soukhyaartham Santaapa Traya Shaantayae

Sri Jitamitra’s Avatari Sri Sudheendrateertha’s successor Sri Raghavendrateertharu is a treasure of Knowledge in Mantralaya. KalaaNidhin. So our Rayara Mutt is proudly called as Vidya Mutt. Our Bhikshaalaya Sri Appanacharya has said in the third Shloka of Sri Raghavendraswami’s Mangalashtaka :
Saalankaaraka Kavya Naataka Kala Kaanaada Paatanjala
Traiyartha Smruti Jaimineeya Kavita Sangeeta Paarangataha
Vipra Kshatra Vidhanghri Jaata Mukharaaneka PrajaaSevitaha
Sri MatSadguru Raghavendra Yatiraat Kuryaat Sadaa Mangalam

By performing the Noble Rayara Seva we will get Gnyaana ­ sugnyaana, fine,sound and profound knowledge in our life. By this Gnyaana we are able to analyse and judge the good and the bad and take the right and the correct decisions in life. By Mantralaya Rayara Seva will get Gnyaana ­ Sugnyaana, our Bhakti will be enhanced, our faith and belief will become stronger and we surrender to Parama Punya Mantralaya Rayaru. We get everything in life. The frequent difficulties arising by

Are called as Taapatraya,these three difficulties will simply be Vanished by Mantralaya Rayara Seva.

Sri Rayaru is expert all the Kalas-Arts-Aesthetic Arts. Music and litearure,Veda Vedaga Parangata Parinata. Such a divine saint is residing in the Neela Brindavana at Mantralaya by Yogamudra sitting in Padmaasana to protect and bless. So today we find the devotees of all sects and religions are performing Seva. By this sacred seva devotees will be blessed and get the knowledge,Bhakti,Vairaagya and the affection of Sri Hari. Sri Hari is accessible only through such great saints like Mantralaya Rayaru. Guru ­ Vayu ­ Hari.

It can rightly be said that for Siddhi and all the Goodness the next Name is Mantralaya - Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu. As our Sondur Sri Krishnavadhootaru has said in Sri Raghavendra Tantra:

Mantram Tae Mantralaya Dhaman Bhuvi Japtuhu
Paatuhu Paadambho Laghu Nashyati Ati Dukhkham Swamin
Mantralaya Swamin.

Devotees Chanting Mantralaya Mantralaya Dhaaman Sri  Rayaru will always be near at the Lotus feet of Rayaru, All our sorrows and Miseries in Our Life will be Simply washed away by Rayaru.

Dear Devotees here today at the Parisamaapti of Adhika Maasa, I wish to Share a Miracle of Mantralaya devotee. He is a devotee of Rayaru.Always he will be in the realm and the  Panaroma of Mantralaya and Bhikshaalaya. After completing his daily duties and routine, he will be Chanting the Sri Raghavendra Gurustotra of Bhikshaalaya Sri Appanacharyaru and also Mangalashtaka. While Chanting Om Sri Raghavendraaya Namaha, when he puts his hands on to the head  and the body of the Satvikas, who have real Faith and Belief, their diseases have ran away and found Siddhi ­ Success in their work .I am simply surprised when there is so much of power in Devotees Chanting Stotra and Om Sri Raghavendraaya Namaha, what an amount of Siddhi is in our Mantralaya Rayaru and how the great Bhikshaalaya Sri Appanacharyaru became dear and near to Rayaru. So Mantralaya Mantralaya Rayaru is a Great Boon to all of us.
