Through out the world the crores and crores of devotees are actually chanting Mantralaya Mantralaya Rayaru, this has echoed, by chanting found the new life ­ new light and benefited by the miracles of  this great Saint Mantralaya Yatiraat. The Virtue and the Punya of all the Births ­ Janmas ­ Avataraas Rayaru accumulated the affection of Sri Hari from all the nooks and corners of the divinity, always thought and acted in the sacred propagation of Sri Harisarvottama and Vayu Jeevottama As Prahlada ­ Bahleeka ­ Vishwaksena ­ Vasudaana ­ Vyasaraya ­ Raghavendra attained the maximum Anugraha of Sri Hari. The very rememberance SAMSARANA of great chetana proved Miracles in the interest of Mankind only through Hari Bhakti and not by any other else .Irrespective of caste, creed, religion and nation distributed the Knowledge of Right Path - Sri Harisarvottama.

Today Mantralaya Gururaya is our Aaraadhya Daiva. We are completely surrendered and fully involved in the Holy folds of Mantralaya. The highly accumulated Punya is not used by himself anywhere. Especially the Sanctum of Bhikshaalaya ­ Bichchale JAPADAKATTE became very dear to Rayaru owing the heritage and the divine legacy. Aparokshagnyani Rayaru knew the importance of Bhikshaalaya and thoroughly understood Sri Appanacharya Reside in that Sanctum on the bank of the Sacred Tungabhadra for thirteen years. Rayaru is Poojyaru :

Poojyaaya Raghavendraaya Satya Dharma Rataayacha
Bhajataam Kalpavrukshaaya Namataam Kamadhenuvae

The most honoured ­ worshipped saint always in accordance with the truth and Dharma is Kalpavruksha and Kamadhenu to the worshipped devotees. The most affectionate and the dedicated association of Sri Appanacharya became a part of his routine to Rayaru who was a great scholar, a great devotee, a devoted teacher with Mantra Siddhi became the heart of Rayaru. Rayaru liked the Seva of Sri Appanacharya at Bhikshaalaya. Resided in the house of Appanacharya and the family is very affectionate To Sri Moola Ramadevaru. So Rayaru lived in the big hall (Padasaale) of Appanacharya, performed the Pooja and taking rest in that hall only. Always Appanacharya spent his time in the Seva of Rayaru including cooking,serving and slowly massaging the legs and the feet of this Yatiraat. It is quite interesting that Rayaru was very fond of Appi Paayasa and Dal Chatni prepared by Appanacharya. Thitreen Years Stay Sri Raghavendrateertharu liked,relished and enjoyed the most important phase of Yati Ashrama Yati Dharma and always remembered and liked. So today though there are several Stotras the Stotra Sri Raghavendrastotra and Mangalashtaka of Bhikshaalaya Appanacharya is popular,famous, Siddhiprada Stotraraja, the Devotees will attain their desired things and Rayaru liked this Stotra. We Devotees believe that this Stotra of Appanacharya is the Stotra of all the times. Mantralaya Rayaru Yatiraat has spent the most important part of his life at Bhikshaalaya.

When we look at the abundant Nagashilas, we think and feel that there is some sort of a link,coordination and relation to Bhikshaalaya and Nagaloka. Devotees who so ever have visited the most Sacred JAPADAKATTE have installed the Nagashilaas and in that Siddhi Kshetra lighted the Deepas as our Appancharya has said:

DeepaSamyojanaat Gnyaanam
PutraLaabhoBhavaetDhruvam

The Saakshaatkaara of Stotra is actually followed by the Devotees. Near the Nagashilaas a glass cover ( Hubaabu ­ Paavu )is placed to protect the Deepa from the wind. By seeing this we feel how great and Divya Shakti is in this Stotra. The Sacredness, watch and word are all guarded by the Naagas. Living serpents move about round the Sanctum of Japadakatte.

Mantralaya Rayaru long back knew the arrival of the devotees to Bhikshaalaya and removed the huge Snake Bill which was in the backyard of Appanacharya’s house. Daily after the Pooja of Sri Moola RamaDevaru Rayaru used to keep milk in a big vessel(Harivaana), the serpent was coming and drinking. This went on for a longtime. Gururaya remembered the day of his Brindavana Pravesha and removed the Snake Bill which was existing in the backyard and found a black shila of Naga and did the Pratishthaana at the same place. After his Brindavana Pravesha the Devotees may afraid of the Serpent, so Rayaru removed that. What a great concern had our Rayaru towards the Devotees.

Devotees always seeing in their heart, remembering Mantralaya Rayara Moola Brindavana and the JAPADAKATTE EK SHILAS BRINDAVANA in Bhikshaalaya have attained and will attain Siddhi. Rayaru will Bless whole heartedly. The Bhikshaalaya panorama and its sanctity are liked by Mantralaya Rayaru the Place of Miracles and the Affection and the Anugraha of Sri Harisarvottama and Vayujeevottama. A total sum of all this is the UDDHAARA of the Devotees ­ Miracles of Rayaru. Devotees are enlightened by the Darshana of Mantralaya and Bhikshaalaya.
