Meaning

Sri Sujayeendrateertharu the 37th.pontiff of our Sri Sri Madacharya Peetha - Rayara Mutt - Vidya Mutt. The noble and the holy Yati Parampara is continued like Jeeva NadiTungabhadra. Sri Sujayeendrateertharu is popularly called as the architect of Mantralaya,his blue prints of development have taken proper shape during the period of our present pontiff Sri Sushameendrateertharu. The Aradhana went on well including felicitations to the able and the deserving.

On that auspicious day the song of Sri Kamaleshadasaru echoed beautifully in Mantralaya by Sow.Sangeeta Katti. With complete devotion she sang the Dasarapadas,This was really superb:

Karedare Barabaarade
VaraMantralayaPuraMandiraTava
CharanaSevakaruKaravamugidu
Karedare Barabaarade
HaridasaruSuswaraSammeladi
ParavashadaliBaayadereduKoogi
Karedaare Barabaarade

And everybody felt as though they are calling Rayaru from the Brindavana to come and do our Uddhaara.The soothing song of sweet song recharged the hearts towards Bhakti in Mantralaya on the day of Aradhana of our 37th.pontiff Sri Sujayeendrateertharu.

Several comforts and facilities are provided in Mantralaya to stay and perform the Seva of Sri Raghavendrateertharu to the satvika devotees and acquire the Punya and Anugraha in our life. We are amazed to know the kind concern of Rayaru to Manukula. Sri GuruRayaru a divya divine chetana of Sri Shankukarna, Sri Prahladaraja, Sri Baahleeka, Sri Vyasarajaru, Sri Raghavendrateertharu total sum of Punya is in Mantralaya for the sake of the devotees and for the dharma of all of us.

Sondur Sri Krishnavadhootaru, the author of Sri Raghavendra Tantragreat devotee of Rayaru, author of Sri Raghavendra Tantra, like Bichali Sri Appanacharyaru has said:

PaapeenaamAgraganyohamDayaloonaamTvamaagraneehee
TvamVinaaNahiJaanenaAnyamMamaAdyaUddhaaraKaaranam

I have committed greatest sins and my name is on top of the list of Paapees, it means evil doers. GuruRaghavendra You are the most merciful kind pontiff, Your NAME IS ON THE TOP AND THE FIRST AMONG THE KIND CHETANAS.

I know you and nothing else. You are the only source of my Uddhaara, lift me up from all the calamities, evils in life. Lord of Mantralaya protect me. So for the sake of this there is always rush of devotees in all the 12 months and in all the 365 days in Mantralaya and Bhikshaalaya.Bichali Sri Appanacharya has rendered the noble and the worthy seva by the compostion of Sri Raghavendra Mangalashtaka, Sitting at the sanctum of Japadakatti, shortly after the Brindavana pravesha of Rayaru and before the installation of EkShilaBrindavana in Bichali:

RangottungaTarangaMangalakaraSriTungabhadraTata
PratyasthhaDwijapungavaalayaLasanMantralayakhyepure
NavyendropalaNeelaBhavyakaraSadBrindavanaAntargataha
SriMadSadguruRaghavendraYatiraatKuryaatDhruvamMangalam.

For the sake of the devotees,sajjanas and the askitas Sri Raghavendra Yatiraataru is residing in the most sacred Mantralaya, below the Neela Brindavana, always to do good things and taking care of all of us. This feeling of strong belief - faith, devotion and affection alone is sufficient to find the happiness and contentment in life.

Our Uttanoor Sri Gopaladasaru(Sri Bhaagannadasaru), close shishya of Sri Vijayadasaru, who has donated the life span - Ayurdaana to Sri Jagannathadasaru to compose the great work Sri HariKathhaamrutasaara, has described about Mantralaya:

DinaDinakilli Nutana Poojegalaaguvavu
DinaDinakilli Nutana Utsavagalaaguvau
DinaDinakilli Nutana Keertigalaaguvau
DinaDinakilli Nutana Vaatregalaaguvau
Janara Sandani Vipra Bhojana

Dina Sapta Varusha Dina Pariyantara
Dinakara Shata Teja Natha Taa Nintu Janara PaalipudakkanumanaSalladu GunaGana Paripurna Gopalavithala Anoraneeya Yembuvage Yene Yaaro Jagadolage

Every day in all the days of the year new celebrations,utsavas,grandeur of Mantralaya is un imaginable. The devotees come here they confess,surrender to Rayaru and are Blessed. Lord Sri Hari is here through Rayaru Sri Hari is Blessing us always. So there is an unusual rush in Mantralaya always.

Here I wish to share a Miracle with our world devotees:

A friend and a well wisher of my friends father fell ill. He is aged, could not recover soon,hospitalized in Bangalore and kept in the intensive care unit for more than 15 days. There were no symptoms of improvement, so the Doctor said from tomorrow we will disconnect the oxygen and you can take the patient home. My friend immediately remembered the Qucik Siddhi Mantra, immediately he got the Quick Siddhi Mantra by courier within a day. My friend in the hospital sitting by the side of his father, prayed to Rayaru and went on chanting:

Bichali Sri Appanacharya Priya Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurubhyo Namaha

After three hours silently my friend father opened his eyes, slowly regained and normalcy prevailed in his health condition. The Doctor of the Apollo Hospital surprised to see and said what Miracle you have made! They are keeping this Quick Siddhi Mantra along with the photo of Rayaru and Appanacharyaru under the pillow near his head - stamina. The patient was discharged and he is happily living now.

On 31st.January the Upanayana of the seventh generation of Sri Appanacharya was held in Bichali at the Japadakatti.Bichali Sri Appanacharya's Vamshastha Sri Badadha Ramacharya celebrated the Upanayana of his son Chi.Pavamanacharya.PunyahaVaachana took place on the sacred bank of Tungabhadra at the right side of the Japadakatti, Kuladevata and Naandi Sthhaapana was in the most sacred house of Sri Appanacharya. Akshata and Gayatri Mantropadesha - Brahmopadesha were performed in front of Japadakatti Ek Shila Brindavana. Vatu Pavamana is really fortunate and lucky, that his noble ancestor Sri Appanacharya Started Gurustotra from this Sanctum only, when he came to know that Sri Raghavendrateertharu is entering the Brindavana in Mantralaya on Shraavana Bahula Dwiteeya, while crossing the river Tungabhadra from the Japadakatti only Sri Raghavendra Gurustotra took its birth spontaneously by Sri Appanacharya.It is a veru good augury that Chi.Pavamana Upanayana held on the spot where our greatest devotee and disciple of Rayaru Bichali Sri Appanacharyaru enlightened himself by his Guru Sri Rayaru to compose Gurustotra spontaneously. Bichali is such a holy and sacred place which is equal to Badari and Kasi, Sri Badadha Ramacharya is quite intelligent and wise to arrange the Upanayana of his son Chi.Pavamanacharya in Bichali owing to the long stay of Rayaru in Bichali all the particles of Bichali have become sacred and divine and Appanacharya made it possible through his great Guru Bhakti.

Compliments to Sri Ramacharya for arranging the Upanayana. Actually he has recharged the legacy and the rich heritage of his noble ancestors Bichali Sri Appanacharyaru and It is quite interesting to know that Sri Appanacharya Blessed the Vatu whole heartedly on that day. The satvika devotee who performed the Ksheerabhisheka of 108 litres of milk, after the Abhisheka Blessed the Vatu Pavamana placing his hand on the head of Pavamana Saying:

BICHALI SRI APPANACHARYA PRIYA MANTRALAYA

SRI RAGHAVENDRATEERTHA GURUBHYO NAMAHA.

Vatu Chi. Pavamana glittered with a unique Teja, Kale on that day of Brahmopadesha by receving the Paramanugraha of Mantralaya Rayaru and Bichali Sri Appanacharyaru. Pavamana is the ray of hope to continue the rich tradition of Bichali Sri Appanacharya to the next generation just like his father Vamshasthha - Archaka - Poojya Sri Ramacharya.

On this most auspicious day Sri Badadha Ramacharya arranged Panchamruta Abhisheka - One Hundred and Eight litres of Ksheerabhisheka to Rayara Ek Shila Brindavana and the Ashtottara of Sri RaghavendraStotra. Because Ashtottara is the main source to attain the Anugraha of our GuruRayaru. Chant GuruStotra properly, slowly understanding the meaning of the world famous GuruStotra.

Our Sondur Sri Krishnavadhootaru has said beautifully the importance of Gurustotra:

AgnyataGuruStotropyaetatPrabhratiVishwasan
GuruStotraarthamevaahamGurum Poojayam

Without Gurustotra I was not knowing anything.By Gurustotra I gained the Confidence and attained the Blessings of Rayaru.Understaning the real meaning of Gurstotra, we have to Chant Gurustotra while worshipping. Gurustotra Pathana itself is the pooja of Rayaru to acquire Siddhi - Vruddhi - Shuddhi.

Dear Devotees Gurustotra is Sarveshta Saadhakam, So our vamshashtharu arranged all this side by side when Upanayana was going on and thus became very near and dear to our Rayaru. Rayaru is sitting in Mantralaya below the Neela Brindavana to Bless all of us. Remembering this feeling we are Blessed by Rayaru.

Let us all pronounce: Mantralayakhyapure Raksha Prabho Raksha Maam Raksha Maam Raksha Bichali Sri Appanaryaaya Namaha which is also a Ashtakshari Mantra.
