By the Anugraha of Sri Mantralaya Rayaru we will obtain all the happiness in life. Especially now in this yuga here we will get the desired fruits immediately. Sri Raghavendra Swami is Pratyaksha Phaladaayinaha ­ donor of the desired fruits. So started the Yatra of Mantralaya by car on July 12th.Thursday morning. On the way near Devadurga a Cobra about 8-10 feet long came at the middle of the road and passed hurriedly. By the kind concern of devotion and the efficiency of the driver saved the Cobra. We are going to Mantralaya, it seems Rayaru tested us whether we are going to hurt and kill the Cobra. By the Anugraha of Rayaru we were successful in that test. I decided to go to Bhikshaalaya ­ Bichchale first and then to Mantralaya. I thought that it is a good sign. Just after paasing a few kilometers the river Krishna was flowing with full spate. Every where there is water water and water. The water was actually touching the roof of the bridge. My heart filled with devotion, our Dasas have said that:

"Munchae Maadiri Neevu Manchale Yatre." In the car I was doing the pathana of Bhikshaalaya Sri Appanacharya’s Sri Raghavendra Stotra, Krishnavadhootaru has said in the Siddhi Grantha : Sri Raghavendra Tantra :

Yathhaa Shakti Appanaryokta Stotra Paatha Pramodinae
NaraNaari Nrupaedyaaya MahaDaaridrya Naashinae

Devotees indulged in the Pathana of Bhikshaalaya Sri Appanacharya’s Sri Raghavendrastotra will be free from all the difficulties,calamities and poverty. Such a Siddhi Stotra is Gurustotra. Bhikshaalaya Appanacharya has completely and thoroughly understood Rayaru, whatever things are described in Gurustotra are true. The devotees have practically experienced in their life today and are bent with gratitude.I made up in my mind how late we may be first we have to visit Bhikshaalaya ­ Bichchale and then Mantralaya ­ Manchale.The world devotees are sharing their Miracles with gratitude. What ever we wish in our hearts that will happen those are the blessings of Rayaru. Impossible things are made possible and we call them they are Miracles of Mantralaya Rayaru through the affection of Sri Hari and not by any other else. I desired to meet Sri Badadha Ramacharya the Archaka of JAPADAKATTE at Bhikshaalaya, Vamshasthha of Sri Appanacharya .

We reached Bhikshaalaya ­ Bichchale at 2.00pm. fortunately met Ramacharya sitting on the chair below the shadow of the tree. Talked warmly and affectionately.I took a Holy dip in the Tungabhadra and with wet clothes only came to the Japadakatte Ek Shila Brindavana of Rayaru, Chanted Gurustotra and Mangalashtaka .Completely surrendered and did Saashtaanga Namaskara. Then the Archaka did the Sankalpa and Seva of Rayaru. After Mangalarati as Anugrha of Rayaru honoured with Sheshavastra and PhalaMantrakshatae.The Sheshavastra which they were using to Rayaru of Japadakatte and blessed whole heartedly. My heart simply was in deep thinking of Rayaru that how fortunate I am? To have all this at the most sacred sanctum.

The Archaka Ramacharya invited for food and Hastodaka at the Japadakatte. My joy knew no bonds ! First we saw the Naga ­ Cobra near Koppara Kshetra, then the full spate of the Holy Krishna river ! At Bhikshaalaya this punya we never dreamt? There a Software Engineer of Calcutta presently working in the IBM of Bangalore came to Bhikshaalaya. The Archaka asked him how do you came to know about this! Then the Engineer replied through the website and Bhikshaalaya Darshana came to know so He had come.

Then I described in detail the importance of Sri Appanaryaaya Namaha which imparts Quick Siddhi, and we have to say:

Bhikshaalaya Sri Appanaryaaya Namaha

Bhikshaalaya Appanarya Priya Gurubhyo Namaha.

With all this rich legacy, heritage and experience of devotional feelings left Bhikshaalaya to reach Mantralaya.The Sacred Bank of Tungabhadra is so attractive and effective that the heart always throbs to go there.
