Dear devotees : Namaskara. Wishing a happy sankranti on THE EVE OF UTTARAYANA PUNYAKAALA
It is quite heartening to know that today Sri Teertha Kshetra Japadakatti Bichali Appanacharya Ashtottara Shata Seva welfare trust is rendering a noble service to the world devotees by Ashtottara Pathana on the bank of the holy Tungabhadra river at the Japadakatti which was actually the Ugama Sthana of Gurustotra. This great project is being run neatly and precisely by Archaka Sri Badadha Ramacharya Bichali, the Vamshastharu of Bichali Sri Appanacharya and magnanimously distributing the puny to the devotees of the world.
On this day of Uttarayana Punyakaala we have to remember and express our gratitude to Ibharamapura’s Appa. Nandavar is situated near Ibharamapura.Nandavar Desai did not have santaana for a long time. They stayed in Mantralaya and performed the seva of Rayaru very strictly with devotion. One day during night Rayaru appeared in the dream of Desai and said that you will get the Santana if you feed one thousand Brahmins on the day of the coming Sadhanidwadashi. Desai felt extremely happy as he was quite well off! But the Sadhanidwadashi was remaining only two days that he has to go to Nandavar from Mantralaya and invite one thousand Brahmins for bhojana was a great task for the Desai. So worried a lot and explained the situation to the Mantralaya Brindavana Archakas. Archakas said When Rayaru has suggested this means, Rayaru will find a solution for you and not to worry. Desai prayed to Rayaru in front of the Brindavana and slept in Mantralaya that night. Rayaru appeared in the dream again and said you invite Ibharamapura’s Appa and feed on sadhanidwadashi that is equal to the feeding of one thousand Brahmins.
Nandavar Desai became extremely happy. Got up with a new zeal and enthusiasm. Praised the mercy of Rayaru how kind you are? And how great is our Ibharamapura’s Appa. Appa has accumulated the punya of one thousand Brahmins, what a great soul, by the time Desai was waiting to receive Appa for the sadhanidwadashi, Appa knew the whole thing as Appa was an Aparokshagnyani and knew the heart of Rayaru.Ibharamapura’s Appa was too close to Appa as Bhikshalaya Bichali Sri Appanacharya was too close. Appa gladly accepted their invitation and after pooja, naivedya took the food on the day of sadhanidwadashi. Ibharamapuradheesha Appa Blessed the couple.
Mantralaya Gurusarvabhoumaru made it clear to the whole world the ability of Ibharamapura’s Appa, that this single soul is more than equal to one thousand sadaachari Brahmins.After a few days Desai’s wife became pregnant and the joy of the satvika couple cannot be described in mere words. But she gave birth to the child when she was running the fifth month. Not grown properly looked like a mass of flesh. Desai couple came to Appa weeping, Appa came to the house of Desai. Consoled the couple and said that you got this by the Blessings of Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu and Rayaru will completely take care of the child. Saying Ibharamapura’s Appa took the child from the Desai couple and said that Rayaru will shape him and I will pray to Rayaru.
The Blessings of Mantralaya Rayaru and the best wishes of Appa will never go in vain. Appa took that mass of flesh and daily chanting the Bichali Sri Appanacharya’s Sri Raghavendra Gurustotra went on applying the Sacred Mruttika to the whole body of the child and poured the padodaka of Rayaru into the mouth. Continuously by doing this the mass of flesh turned into the shape of a handsome male child after a few months. Ibharamapura’s Appa’s happiness and joy knew no bonds. Appa said the wordings of our Dasas :
Brindavanagata Mruttike
JalaPaana Muktige Sopaana
Mruttika of Mantralaya Rayaru proved Sanjeevini to the child of the Desai. The child became normal with the healthy growth. On an auspicious day Ibharamapura’s Appa called the Nandavar Desai couple and handed over the child to them. The couple were really surprised to see their son. Named the child as Srinivas. Srinivas shined the name of the Desai family.
Dear devotees we are all happy to know the Miracle of Mruttika of Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu. Today Manukula is bent with gratitude to the divine personality of Mantralaya Prabhu. As our Bichali Sri Appanacharya has said in Sri Raghavendra Mangalashtaka:

Abhivruddhi.
