Rayaru never desired, never aspired for anything for personal comfort and benefit. Accepted the life as a challenge and the prasada of Sri Hari. With devotion and satisfaction followed the wordings of Eeshaavasyopanishattu. There is no exaggeration to say that our Kind Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu attained the highest in life as no pontiff has achieved so far. Rayaru never asked anybody for anything, neither money, .nor ornaments nor any property to his poorvaahrama son Sri Laxminarayanacharya in the name of Mutt.
Sri Laxminarayanacharya a great scholar,pratibhavanta just like his father and also a great Vairaagya shiromani. Never exercised the power as Shreepaadaputraru in the Rayara Mutt - Vidya Mutt. A sober, kind, selfless gnyani, scholar and has written Vyakhyaana to Rugbhaashya Teeka
Teeka to Sri Ramachaaritrya Manjari
Teeka to Sri Krishnachaaritrya Manjari
SriManMahabhaarata Taatparya Nirnaya Bhaava
Sangraha Teeka
And has contributed greatly to our Vaishnava philosophy.On the day of 337th. Aradhana Sri Laxminarayanacharya Samputa is released in Mantralaya this year. The most valuable and unforgettable gift of Sri Laxminarayanacharya is to be remembered always by all of us.
Though the kings of Tanjore, the Nawabs of Adoni were eager to surrender everything to Sri Raghavendrateertharu. But our Rayaru never asked anything except the Village Manchali. Rayaru asked his great devotee Diwan Venkanna that Manchali should be presented to him by the Nawab of Adoni Siddi Masoodkhan. As it was most holy and sacred and the spot where Yaaga was performed during Prahlada Avatara.In the last series we have seen Rudradevaru worshipped by Rayaru. Today Sri Raghavendrateertha's Mantralaya is shining like the Amaravati of Indra with all the amenities and the comforts are provided by the devotees and are bent with gratitude, because what ever things are provided by the devotees Rayaru immediately offers the whole thing to Sri Hari. Sri Hari this is all yours, kindly accept Narayana.
For all these divine, noble and rare qualities today in the world Sri Raghavendrateertharu the 17th pontiff of our Sri Madacharya peetha is the most popular saint and we can say second to none. As our Bichali Sri Appanacharyaru has said in Raghavendra Mangalashtaka:
VedayavyasaMuneeshaMadhwaYatiraat
TeekaryaVaakyamrutam
SamaakhyaaptaeSankhyavatSukhadaam
DashopanishadaamVyakhyaamSamaakhyanmudaa
SriMatSadguruRaghavendraYatiraatKuryatDhruvamMangalam.
So we find the sannidhana of all the great yaits in the Bhavya Divya Neela Brindavana of Sri Raghavendrateertharu in Mantralaya, who is
SriVijayeendraKaraabjoththoSudheendra Varaputrakaha. What is the purpose of Mantralaya Series if people ask, the answer is the punya and the sanctity of Rayaru with the Himalayan height and grandeur.
Sri Hari is the Lord to all of us. He is sarvatantra swatantra, sarva shakta. What ever Sri Hari gives we have to accept as prasada. Accept as his blessings and should not depend on others. Rayaru lived as per the guidelines of Eeshaavasyopanishattu:
EeshaavasyamidamSarvamYatkinchitJagatyamJagat
TaenaTyaktenaBhunjeethhaahaMaagrudhahaKasyasvidhanam
Rayaru followed this through out his life.So Rayaru is poojyaru, Kalpavruksha and Kamadhenu. What ever we ask with devotion Rayaru fulfills immediately. Our Rayaru is the never ending source Akshaya Seli.
Again we remember Bichali Sri Appanacharya a great devotee:
Om Sri Raghavendraya Namaha
Ityashtakshara Mantrataha JapitadBhaavitaanNityam
Ishtaarthaa
SyunruSamshaha.
