Mantralaya-202

Background

Meaning

Child Krisnha daily blossomed like a full moon and became dear and near to the people of Ibharamapura and Mantralaya. All liked him very much. When ever the child used to cry, weep. Mother Krishnabai put him in the cradle and sang a lullaby. To the surprise of  all the cradle was swinging and playing hither and thither itself, after sometime Krishna will get sleep in the Cradle. The news spread like a wild fire, Satvikas came to the house of Sri Obalacharya to see this   strange scenes. They were really surprised to see that the cradle was swinging automatically and the child Krisnha is sleeping quite happily. At the beginning the Couple were afraid what is this jugglery, whether is it because  of some Mantrika or Vammachaara. After seeing the face of the Child, as they have been  Blessed by Mantralaya Rayaru and they were leading the life of Sadaachaara in accordance to the guidelines of our Sri Madcharya, Consoled his wife Krishnabai not to worry about this. The Child’s Cradle Swinging automatically was nothing but VayuDevaru was Blessing and singing the lullaby to Appa ­Ibharamapurada Appa when he was a child. That much of special care he has drawn by the Divine Sources. The Couple believed that it is all the Miracle of   Mantralaya Rayaru and Sri Hari. Thus felt extremely happy and proud of their son. Sri Shamasundara Vithala Dasa’s Shishya Sri Kurudi    Raghavendracharya has written in Sri Ibharamapura Appa’s Charitramruta Saara that:

Jogulada Pada Peli Tooge Eetana Tottla
Aagale Kai Bidalu Satata Tottlallade
Saagi Janaru Bandanuraagadali Nodidaru
Neegi Manekelsagala Bittellaranu

When Krishnabai sang a lullaby, the cradle was swinging itself continuously. Satvikas came out with great affection to see this leaving all their works.

The things described in the Mantralaya Series are all true and solid with facts and figures. Everything is in accordance with the opinion of Rayaru. Thus the series have continued constantly by the inspiration of  Bichali Sri Appanacharya Priya Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu.

Further when he was a child of two years, Krsihnabai was taking him to Pravachana, Harikatha in Ibharamapura and also to near by Mantralaya. In those days they were going to Mantralaya by Bullock cart from Ibharamapura. See the Sanctity and the Divine Taste of the Satvikas in those days. To participate in Satsanga they were moving miles together by Bullock cart and also taking their small children. Along with the Parents, the Young boys and girls were also listening the Divine Stories, Divine History i.e. Epics with great enthusiasm and interest.

Krisnha was listening with complete involvement. He used to forget himself while listening. During the Pravachana of Bhaagavata  Krishna was in favour of Bhakta Prahlada and was against Hirannyakashyapu.When Hirannyakashyapu gave lot of trouble to Prahlada, Krishna has actually wept, when he was on the lap of his mother and heard, When Sri NarasimhaDevaru came out from the Pillar, when Hirannyakashyapu broke, Krishna felt happy with folded hands did Namaskara. When Sri NarasimhaDevaru took Prahlada’s father Hirannyakashyapu on his laps and torn the stomach with his sharp nails. Krishna felt happy and enjoyed and clapped. The Nature of   Dushta Mardana and Shishta Paripaalana became attentive from childhood only.

Dear devotees here we find two Strange things, we can say Miracles. The Cradle was swinging without the help of anybody. It was nothing but  the Daivaanugrha to Ibhramapura’s Appa.

Secondly the sharp attentive nature of listening good things from childhood, the Satvika impact of his parents, the Sacred impact of Mantralaya, Gaanadhaalu Panchamukhi on Ibhramapura’s Appa was really great. All thses things proved that Krishna was going to become a great man,a great Mahatma, a great Devotee of Sri Hari Vayu Guru. The pleasures of childhood, his laughter and smart activeness made Obalacharya and Krishnabai that their life was really meaningful. Bent with gratitude to the Divine Saint of Mantralaya. Frequently they were visiting Mantralaya.
 

The attention ­ extra ordinary attention, devotion Satvika  Pravratti became Jaagruta  at the early stage. Always active, smiling, obedient, attentive manners pleased the parents and as well as the Citizens of Ibharamapura. Became highly popular, Obalacharya has given birth to pearl, Others followed the footsteps of this great and Noble couple.

Ibharam,apura’s Appa has showed all these things when he was a child and made it clear that he was the Boon of Sri Hari Vayu Guru Sri Raghavendraru of Mantralaya. Great Personalities are great where ever they were. Whether child or adult or old. They prove their greatness and their impact on the Society, Religion and Nation.  Thus Our Ibharamapura’s Appa belongs to that category. Category of Satvika and  Bhakti and  Saakshaatkaara.
