Sarveshwapi Cha Shishyeshu Appanacharya Yeva Saha
Gurorati  Priyo Yasmaat Stutistena Samaadhrutaa

Though there were several Shishyas the heart of Rayaru was always throbbing for Appanacharya as he was too dear to Rayaru. His selfless Seva,Bhakti, Knowledge, Imagination, Obedience and the amicable disposition attracted Rayaru, and Appancharya too to Rayaru. Their intermingling of the two souls is a model to the whole world. So in the Siddhi Grantha Sri Krishnavadhootaru  has described with proud, and made it clear to the Universe that the contribution of Gurustotra by this great devotee, GREAT TEACHER, as the Shishyas grew in large, the Appanacharya’s house becam small, Japadakatte Ashwatha Vruksha became the campus of his GURUKULA. Appanacharya’s Bhakti towards Devi Saraswati was so much that at the time taking the lessons to the Students, Appanacharya used to hang the washed rice and tie in a big cloth, after finishing the lessons he used to do Abhimantrita Prokshana  to the tied rice that was baked and ready for food. Such food ­ rice Appanacharya served to his students and became KRUTAKRUTYA.

Such a Noble, divine presonality became a GREAT devotee of GREAT  SAINT MANTRALAYA RAYARU. The Sacred Stotra is Gurustotra. The Pathana of Gurustotra is echoing in the whole world by the devotees, as they are in everywhere today.

Regarding the great devotional solidarity and the sanctity of Bhikshaalaya Sri Appanacharya’s Gurustotra.I Wish to describe a miracle which happened very recently. A middleaged man quite healthy, suddenly complained of heart pain. He went to the doctor, after having undergone ECG, lipid profile the doctor confirmed that there is some cardiac problem and he has to undergo surgery. The Sajjana was worried and at the same time he  was not in a position to afford the expenses. He shared his problem with his neighbour who  is a strong devotee of Mantralaya Rayaru and always indulged in the Pathana of  Rayara Gurustotra.The neighbour said you need not worry. Are you able to Chant Appanacharya, No, I can’t he said.The devotee said Believe in  Rayaru, Chant Om Sri Raghavendraaya Namaha daily Yatha Shakti ­ Yatha Bhakti and gave the Gurustotra small book. Keep this book with your near the head with devotion, have strong faith in Mantralaya Rayaru that pronounce the resolution that Rayaru will definitely solve your problem. The Sajjana who was suffering continued for a fortnight. After one week he went to the doctor. Doctor said any way surgery  is  there ! let us have one more ECG and lipid profile. He said yes. After all the tests the Sajjana’s all the reports were normal. Doctor was surprised to see the report, said what a miracle. Everything is normal. Surgery is not required.

Dear devotees by chanting the Beejakshara Siidhi Mantra  : OM SRI RAGHAVENDRAAYA NAMAHA  and daily keeping the Gurustotra at his head Uttamanga, the Sajjana got rid off his severe cardiac problem. The faith ­ belief  - affection and Anugraha of Mantralaya Rayaru is very clear to all of us. Sajjana is not a Brahmin. But did the Seva  in  his own way as detailed by his neighbour Devotee. I remember the lines of Appanacharya:

Vipra Kshatra Vidhanghri Jaat Mukharaaneka Praja
Sevitaha
Sri MatSadguru Raghavendra Yatiraat Kuryaat Dhruvam Mangalam.

Rayaru says only Yatha Shakti Yatha Bhakti Yatha Phalam. Punishment to the body does not like. Pure Bhakti, Kaaya Vaacha Manasaa  expexts. We have to Surrender to Rayaru,should not feel shy that others will come to know my deformities. When the Kind Gururaya is protecting us from all the deadly disease, we should over come our shyness, proud. Anu Renu Truna Kaashtha Paripurna Sri Hari Taena Vina Trunamapi Na Chalati Tvameva Sarvam Mam Swami. This Strong faith  is required today now at this juncture.

When we think and feel everything is finished nothing to be cured nor rectified, at that juncture only Mantralaya Rayaru has made the Miracles to us. To pray and proclaim we should not hesitate nor feel shy. Devotees Kalpavruksha is with us. We are amidst the Anugraha of Rayaru. He is there to rectify through His abundant Punya which is equal to the Himalayan Height and even more also.

We must appreciate the Style of Sri Raghavendra Tantrakaara:

Paapeenaam Agraganyoham Dayaalunaam Tvamagraneehi
Tvam Vinaa NahiGnyaneanyam MaamadyaUddhaaraKaranam.

This Prayer, confession, devotion and surrender to Sri Rayaru who is dear to Sri Hari is the most essential to the devotees as per our Sondur Sri Krishnavadhootaru. Rayaru is Gururajaru Rajaanaam Guruhu Iti Gururajaha ! Gurunaam Rajaha Iti Gururajaha. We have to believe Rayaru just as Droupadi Believed Lord Krishna when Dusshyasana was simply dragging the Saree of Droupadi. At that time she stopped holding the Saree with her left hand. Raising her two  hands to Sri Krishna he whole heartedly prayed. Krishna Blessed Akshaa Ambara Abundant  Saree to protect Honour. That is the real faith,  that is required.

This faith will result in blessings of Rayaru we say miracles of Rayaru. Bhikshaalaya Sri Appanacharya’s Stotra Raja is very Sacred and Powerful.
