So the devotees are in the que to offer their offerings to Mantralaya Rayaru. Our offerings will be received by Rayaru,Sri Hari and also all the great Yatis. The devotional stature of Rayaru is magnified in many ways, as Rayaru attributes the whole to Sri Hari: SAKALAVOO HARI SEVE YENNI.

This year’s special as a part of the 336th.Aradhana, a Silver Ambari for the GajaVahanotsava of Prahladarajaru was offered by the devotees. Fully ornamented Ambari, this Utsava took place on the day of Madhya Aradhana.The gathered large number of devotees from all parts of the country witnessed the grandeur of Gajavahanotsava. Sri Prahladarajara Utsava on Pratyaksha Gaja was going on without the Ambari. Some Devotees noticed this and have presented with Bhakti. This Utsava went on till 12, Midnight on Shraavana Bahula Bidige. Songs,Bhajans, Music, Folklore and Classic. Added to this all types of Mangalavadyas participated, the Ambari liked by thousands of devotees. By seeing this we remember the Song of Sri GopalaDasru:

Dina Dinakilli Nutana Poojegalaaguvau
Dina Dinakilli Nutana Utsavagalaaguvau
Janara Sandani Viprabhojana ……
Surapannayadante Mantralaya.

Every day new functions, new Poojas, devotees in mass are fed properly, are all described by our Sri GopalaDasaru, Staunch devotee of Mantralaya Rayaru and Aparokshagnyani. Parama Shishya of Sri VijayaDasaru, and it is he who has donated the life span- Ayushya to Sri JagannathaDasaru for the work of

SRI HARI KATHAMRUTASAARA.

In the memory of Sri GopalaDasaru Sri GopalaDasara Mantapa was to be built in Mantralaya. Devtee’s contribution was accepted on the day of Madhya Aradhana.

At the Yard of the Sacred Tungabhadra in Mantralaya a festive mood every where. Our Rayaru is in the Brindavana in Yoga.Witnessing, listening and blessing the devotees. When we look at this we feel that Yaksha Loka and GandharvaLoka have come to Mantralaya for the Aradhana of Rayaru.

One more speciality of this 336th years Aradhana is that the devotees have offered Golden Planquin to carry the Sacred Padukas of Sri Prahaladarajaru. We are really thrilled to see all this Grandeur of our Gururayaru ­ Bichali Sri Appanacharya Priya Sri Raghavendraru. The whole world is in the realm of Mantralaya today.

This year on the day of Aradhana the great Singer, Musician, and great devotee of Mantralaya Rayaru Dr.R.Ganeshan of Chennai, Sang beautifully with complete involvement and devotion to Rayaru. Every year on the day of Sri Raghavendra Swami’s Jayanti ­ Janma Dina ­ Vardhanti Day on Phalguna Shukla Saptami Dr. R.Ganeshan  arranes the Musical Fete NAADAHAARA on a grand scale in Mantralaya. For the  Vardhanti Day the Chennai Sangeeta Premis and Sangeeta Kovidas assemble in Mantralaya for  NAADAHAARA. The Sangeeta Seva of Dr.R.Ganeshan was highly pleased to Rayaru,the gathered Devotees forgot themselves they all took shelter at the Lotus Feet of Rayaru. The Devotees of all caste, creed and religion participated in the Aradhana including the Lambanis and contributed their mite in one way or the other.Thus all have availed the Opportunity of Seva.

By seeing all this we remember Bichali Sri Appanmacharya’s lines of Mangalashtaka , Rayaru is taking Seva by all:

Vipra Kshatra Vidanghri Jaata Mukharaaneka PrajaSevitaha.

Today the Sacred Mantralaya Kshetra which is equal to more than 120 Punya Teertha Kshetra, A divine centre to all of us. Abundant developments are marvellous.  Sri Sushameendrateertharu desired and Prayed to Rayaru to construct a big dining hall to feed the Brahmins. Sudhamurty of Infosys has already donated for the construction of the big dining hall. That is used to feed the devotees of all the caste.Rayaru fulfilled the desire. After three days  a devotee came to Mantralaya and donated more than crore for the construction. This dining hall and kitchen is built meticulously with modern amenities to feed 1500 Brahmins at a time is the prime attraction and a mirror to the developmental activities. The kindness of Rayaru cannot be described by mere words.

Our Shridavithalaru has said -
Kundade Vara Mantralaya dalliruva Karedallige Baruva ! Raghavendra Gururayara Sevisiro NEV Soukhyadi Jeevisiro.
So today we are all after Mantralaya Rayaru to make our life meaningful and Saarthaka.

Today Mantralaya Rayaru is directing the devotees to visit the Sanctum of Bhikshaalaya ­ Bichali Japadakatti, from the place where Sri Gurustotra took its birth and the Ek Shila Brindavana of Rayaru, the house of Sri Appanacharya, where Rayaru lived and liked very much. It is heartening to know that Rayaru called Diwan Venkanna and Siddi Masoodkhan to Bichali, where he was staying in the house of Sri Appanacharya and introduced to them.
