( Rayaru Teertha Yatra - 17)

Date : April 22  2009


Background

Chaitra Bahula is coming to an end. The summer heat is too severe and horrible A major shake up of more than an earthquake by the departing of our  most beloved and great noble Chetana Sri Sushameendrateertharu, we are feeling at large. Really speaking we devotees are always remembering. Trikaalasmaraneeyaru.  The Sanchara - Digvijaya of  Sri Raghavendrateertharu now arrived to the Southern part of Karnataka, popularly called as South Canara and the cordial warm welcome at Udupi the place of SriMatAnandateertha Bhagavatpadacharya are described in Mantralaya(288).
 

Meaning

Dear devotees words fall short to describe the most sacred and  the holy Yaatra - Sanchara  and the Digvijaya of our Sri Raghavendrateertharu. Rayaru a great noble Pootatma has spread the essence of Dwaita to the whole world. In Tanjore, Madhurai, Vellore won the debate of Dwaita Adwaita and clarified the gist of Dwaita in the most appealing way clearing all the doubts, this has reached through the length and the breadth of our country. The world is simply amazed  and bent with gratitude to the Gnyana, Bhakti, Vairaagya  and the presentation style of  Acharya Philosophy of our great Yatiraat Sri Raghavendrateertharu.

Today the same message is being forwarded to the world across the ocean through this wonderful media and thus the abundant devotees are happy  to know all this.

Rayaru is always indulged in wiping off the tears of the weaker section of our society. Travelled through the length and the breadth of our country without taking  any rest and  upheld the philosophy of Sri Harisarvottama and Vayujeevottama. At the same time through the Anugraha of Sri Hari did the Uddhaara  of the devotees and magnanimously distributed the punyaphala. After the Sanchara of South India Rayaru decide to undertake the Sanchara of South Karnataka - South Canara. First Rayaru came to Vishnumangala. Performed the Aradhana of Sri Hari. The Sri Hari Bhakti of Sri Raghavendrateertharu is beyond the reach of our imagination. The accumulated  Bhakti and Punya of Sri Prahlada Baahleeka Sri Vyasarajaru has reached the maximum  climax in the Avataara  of  Mantralaya  Sri Raghavendrateertharu. The Devotional approach of Sri Hari Bhakti - Narayana Bhakti - Krishna Bhakti and the Anugraha of Rayaru are highly appreciable and model to the Saadhakas, Siddhas and to the Yogis.

Rayaru always desired to visit the punyakshetras,shishyas and the devotees.During the South Canara Sanchara Rayaru visited the famous sanctum of Sri Subramanya Kshetra. Stayed for a few days. Daily performed the pooja of Sri Shivakumaraswami with devotion. Our Dwaita pontiff Sri Raghavendrateertharu has given importance to Sri Shesha Sri Garuda and  Sri Rudradevaru  along with Sri Hari Vayu Gurugalu. Rayara Dharma is Manu Dharma, Dharma of  Manukula welfare. The compilation, the coordination, compliance and  for the patience we can say Rayaru is the pioneer of Samanvaya and Sahishnute. So Rayaru is Guru to the whole world and protecting all of us:

Bhakta Vatsala Karuna Samudra Sri Mantralaya Yativarenya

Buvi Japtuhu Tava Sankeertanam Sada Sarvada

Sarva Kaaleshu Maam Raksha Sri Raghavendrateertha Prabho.

During the short stay at Subramanya kshetra Rayaru preached the Dwaita Tatvas to the Sajjanas and Blessed whole heartedly.

Then Rayaru reached  the most Siddhi Sanctum of Udupi. Rayaru a great pontiff already news has reached to udupi about his arrival. The satvikas of Udupi felt extremely happy and said that  Divya Chetana who has attained the complete Anugraha of Sri Hari, Dwaita Mata Samsthhaapanacharya Sri GuruRaghavendrateertharu is coming to Udupi. All the Yatis of Ashta Matha gathered to welcome warmly in the mosat decent way. The Paryaaya Peetha Swamiji of Sode Sri Vadiraja Matha made the arrangements to stay in the Matha opposite of Kanakanakindi. This building was presented by Sri Vadirajaru to Sri Vijayeendrateertharu of Kumbhakonam as a friendly gift. Complete colouring and decoration was done and made ready to the residence of Rayaru. The whole Temple town Udupi and Rathha Beedi was eagerly waiting to welcome our Yatiraat. Wherever Rayaru went had been welcomed warmly with grandeur and honour. Each and every moment of our GuruRayaru are meaningful and  helpful to the devotees. Today we are living under the shelter of the big tree of Rayara Punya and benefited by the Miraculous Divine Mahima power of Rayaru. Thus the grand welcome is really notable and a record in the history of South Canara.

Udupi Lord Sri Krishna favourite place. At this sanctum we now remember the lines of Bichali Sri Appanacharya Gurustotra:

Sri Vijayeendra KaraabjothhahaSudheendra Varaputrakaha.

Sri Vijayeendrateertha greatness and Sri Vadirajaru kindness Rayaru really felt happy.Udupi  is situated on the bank of the ocean. The Karnataka land, water and air are just counting the minutes to welcome our Sri Raghavendrateertharu.Hanuma Bheema has taken the Avatara as Sri Madhwacharyaru in Paajaka near Udupi. Sri Jaiteertharu lived with Sri Acharya Madhwaru in the Vrushabha roopa(bullock). All were eager to welcome with Mangalavaadya,Bhajan of Astikas and Satvikas and large number of devotees gathered in Udupi not only from Udupi but also from the near by villages.

The Paryaaya swamiji of Sode Math welcomed Rayaru with Purnakumbha, vedaghosha and welcomed with a warm affectionate embrace. All others performed the Saashtanga Namakara to our Yatiraat. The Rathha Beedi was fully active to receive the Yatiraat of Dwaita Mata Pratishthaapaka.The Udupi swamiji brought a golden pallakki and asked Rayaru to sit in that golden pallakki and they will take Rayaru to the Sri Krishna Temple with grand procession. Rayaru did not agree. But after a long request of all Rayaru agreed to sit in the golden pallakki and offered the whole credibility to Sri Hari. Udupi sanchara is the most remarkable in the life of our GuruRayaru.
