Date : March 27 2008

Dear Devotees - Namaskara.A holy maasa Phalguna Krishna Dwiteeya the Aaradhana of Sri Sudheendrateertharu at Navavrundavana Guru of our Sri Raghavendrateertharu,Trateeya Aaradhana of Sri Vadirajaswami at Sonda, who entered Brindavana Sashareera like our Gururayaru, who lived upto 120 years and was the pontiff for 118 years. Again on chaturthi the Aradhana of Sri Vyasaraja Yativarya at Navavrundavana Anegondi. We devotees pray the three sacred yatis to bless us.

Background

The divine personality of Gururayaru and the creation of Praataha Sankalpa Gadya, immediately after attaining the sacred Hamsanamaka Chakravarti. Sri Raghavendra offered the manuscript which was in Taaleyloe Gari:PraatahaSankalpa Gadya to His Holiness Sri Sudheendrateertharu are described in Mantralaya(228).

Meaning

Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru has fully attained the Anugraha of Sri Rama,Krishna,Narahari, Vedavyasa and Narayana. We will always find the sanctity and the Sannidhana of Sri Hari. Daivamsha Sambhoota Gururaya Parimalacharya has achieved the affection of Sri Vayudevaru ­ Sri Srimadacharyaru. We can say that Sri Vayudevaru is the ocean in excusing our sins and follies -  Kshamasamudra, Bhaktapremi Sri Vayudevaru will forgive and lead us to the right path. Vayudevaru is very dear to Rayaru. Mantralaya Gurusarvabhoumaru is parama vaishnava in all the janmas. The satisfaction and the joy of Sri Sudheendrateertharu was immense to see that his successor Sri Raghavendrateertha is a great Sri Hari bhakta, his beloved Shishya, Bhaagavatottama, Daivamshasambhoota became the pontiff of Vidya Mutt  paramahamsa chakravarti. The accumulation of several janmas punya forced Rayaru to become the pontiff. The Seventeenth pontiff of our Sri Madhwacharya Peetha is the incarnation of the punya of Sri Hari to Bless the world devotees.

After the Vaikuntha Samaradhane of Saraswatamma the relatives of Rayaru’s poorvashrama leaving the young boy Laxminarayana in the Sri Mutt, they were about to leave the Vidya Mutt and Kumbhakonam. All were in grief. Sri Sudheendrateertharu amidst the deep silence asked all to sit and said this body is not permanent, Soul is permanent. It has left this body and entering the other body. Saraswatamma has attained Mukti, pray all to the happinees of that great soul. Saraswatamma the wife of Rayaru’s poorvashrama itself is sufficient to shine the Vamsha of Gautama Gotra Shashtheeka Vamsha got Sadgati by Rayaru. At that moment the attention of all was on the Vyasapeetha, a manuscript of Taleyloe Gari. All were gazing with wonder.

Sri Raghavendrateertharu took that manuscript and offered to Guru Sri Suheendrateertharu and fell on his sacred feet. While taking Sanyasa Ashrama several ideas, thoughts, flashed, inspired and provoked during that period have been shaped and moulded in the pratibha and beautiful prose, long prose has spontaneously came out in praise of Sri Hari Vayu and the entire nature and the world.

Sri Harihi Jagat Sarvam.

The sacred routine,Aaradhana of Sri Hari from morning to till evening are described in sanskrit language:

PraatahaSankalpaGadya.

Swamiji opened, read and tears rolled on his cheeks. What a beautiful creation, what a great bhakti! Though the whole function of Sanyasahrama was of full tense, owing to the attachment of Saraswatamma to their living, Rayaru never bothered, never worried. All the formalities filled his heart and mind and made him staunch bhakta Sri Hari Bhakta. Sri Sudheendrateertharu simply amazed to see the Sthitapragnya of Sri Raghavendraru. What a great sacrifice, never cared for his selfish things in life. On the contrary the famous book of all times: PRAATAHASANKALPAGADYA has been presented to the world by this great personality. The whole world is the  Samsara of Rayaru. Felt extremely happy to read the book: PraatahaSankalpaGadya.

Swamiji looking at the young Laxminarayana said, look here! Your father is your Guru, not only to you but father to all and Guru to all. A father and a guru to the whole society and to the world. Your mother is now in heaven Vaikuntha, your father is holding a very high position in our Acharya Paramapara.You can stay in the Sri Vidya Mutt and do the studies. Be happy and proud that you are the son of poorvashrama of Sri Raghavendrateertharu, who will shine the Shashtheeka Vamsha,Gautama Gotra , Beegamudre family. Your father will teach you. Sri Sudheendrateertharu consoled like anything with affection and kind concern. Rayaru told, my guru, my lord, you have told all these things and consoled him, if I would have done this, others may think that for the sake of his son telling all this. All praised for  the kind magnanimity and the concern of Sri Sudheendrateertharu. Along with Laxminarayana, the son of Sri Narasimhacharya(relative of Sri Sudheendrateertha’s poorvashrama) Raghupati, Rayaru’s  pooorvashrama’s brother Sri Gururajacharya’s son Venkanarayana and sister Venkatamba ­ Venkamma’s son Narayana, Ramachandracharya’s son Krishna also joined to study in the Sri Mutt under the able Guru Sri Raghavendraswamiji. After this Gururajacharya,Laxminarasimhacharya,Kamaladevi, sister Venkatamba - Venkamma left the Sri Mutt of Kumbhakonam. Initially there were five students, the style of presentation,abundant Knowledge, affection of Rayaru drew the attention of the city of  Kumbhakonam, within fifteen days the number of students became thirty. Sri Raghavendra Gurusarvabhoumaru while teaching in a unique style described the greatness of Sri Hari Harisarvottama and Vayujeevottama and the philosophy of our Sri SriMadacharyaru.

Amidst all this the joy, happiness and the contentment of His Holiness Sri Sudheendrateertharu knew no bonds. Aparokshagnyani Knew the high profile, character and the divine qualities of our GREAT SRI RAGHAVENDRATEERTHARU.
