Mantralaya-293

( Rayaru Teertha Yatra - 19)

Date : May 14  2009


Background

Thursday May 14th.09, we feel  the highest temperature in this severe summer owing to the Kruttika, we are really reeling in the hot wave. The only solace and relief to our mind and heart is to understand the sacred routine of our Sri Raghavendrateertharu during the stay at Udupi.

The divinity and the joy of our Sri Guru Raghavendrateertharu after availing the Divya Darshana of Udupi Sri Krishnadevaru are described in Mantralaya(293).
 

Meaning

In Udupi Sri Raghavendrateertharu went forward from the main gate Mukhya Dwaara and took the Darshana with great devotion. Really impressed to see the most pleasing jaganmohanaakaara of Lord Sri Hari Sri Krishna. Performed Saashtaanga Namaskara. Gazed Sri Krishna without closing the eyelids. Became highly emotional and devotional.

We say it as Romaharshana  - Romaanchana - Mai Navirelu.

Seeing the Lord Swamiji shed tears from his eyes - Anandaashru. The Paramaatma of Dwaapara Yuga, Devakidevi desired to see the Baala Roopa, Rukminidevi worshipped with devotion and Arjunadeva safely deposited the Churner Krishna(Kadagola Krishna) in the Rukminivana in the Gopichandana pit and from Dwaraka came in the ship and  finally  reached  to Sri Madhwacharyaru. Sri GuruRayaru remembered all this by the darshana of  Sri Krishnadevaru. Then Rayaru chanted loudly the Vedokta Mantras and floated in the ocean of devotion and filled with over joy. Sri Sode Vaadiraja Mutt Paryaaya Swamiji gave the golden Aarati for Mangalarati. Rayaru happily performed the golden Mangalarati. Paryaaya Swamiji offered Sri Krishna Arpita garlands of Tulasi and flowers. Also offered Phala Mantrakshate and Prasada. A NOBLE SCENE OF WORTH SEEING.

Paryaaya Swamiji holding the hand of Rayaru took Rayaru to Sabha Bhavana amidst Vedaghosha and warmly welcomed by the Astikas,Satvikas,Sajjanas of Udupi. We can say the whole udupi was gathered there to see Sri Raghavendrateertharu.Rayaru adorned the chair which was specially arranged for Rayaru only. Looking at the abundant audience Rayaru smiled and responded to the devotees and easily understood the situation there, that they have gathered to see Rayaru. As per the protocols of Vidwat Sabha several Pandits addressed and the audience was eager to listen the address and the Upadesha of Rayaru. The thick gathering listened the wordings with intense devotion. Though the public  was huge and large in number there prevailed a pin drop silence when Rayaru started to talk. Paryaaya Mathadheesha Sode swami colcluded the samaropa with his presidential remarks.

The incessant flow of Daivee power, the central office of all the activities of our Acharya Sri Madhwaru, the sannidhaana of Sri Krishna impressed a lot to our GuruRaya. Owing to the strong and the staunch bhakti of Kanakadasaru Sri Krishna turned to the wall side and there appeared a hole, that is famous as KANAKANAKINDI. Facing to this  a Mutt is there, Sode Sri Vaadirajaswamiji out of affection and devotion offered this Mutt as a gift to Sri Vijayeendrateertharu to stay in Udupi. This was the Sankalpa of Sri Hari

Udupi the sacred place as our Sri Madhwacharyaru has walked on this holy soil. As per the will and wish of Sri Vedavyasaru Sri Madacharyaru composed Anuvyakhyaana to  Brahmasutra. Remembering all the incidents and the events one by one Rayaru felt that the whole Udupi itself is full of devotion Sri Hari Bhakti and the Chetana Roopa .So Rayaru desired to stay in Udupi for some more days to perform the seva of Sri Krishna and engage in the holy work of Grantha Rachana and Paatha Pravachana. Expressed this before the Paryaaya  Swamiji of Sode. Sode swamiji felt extremely happy to hear from our GuruRayaru, as Rayaru was the prime pontiff of Dwaita Mata Pratishthaapakacharya and was fully aware of the name, fame, divine power and the Mahima (Miracles) of Rayaru as our Bichali Sri Appanacharyaru has later said in Gurustotra:

Agamy Mahima Lokae Sri Raghavendro Maha Yashaahaa
SriMadhwaMataDugdhaabdhiChandrovatu Sadaa Anaghaha

With proud and pleasure said Vidya Mutt and Sode Mutt have cordial relations since from the days of Sri Vijayeendrateertharu.So happily said that Rayaru can stay as long as he wants to stay. Anytime can go the temple and perform the seva of SriKrishna and provide all the facilities, not only himself but all the other seven Mutts of Udupi will also cooperate in this noble work. Not only the Ashta Mutts but the Sajjanas of Udupi requested Rayaru to stay in Udupi and all the young and the old Aabaalavruddhas decided to participate in the Paatha Pravachana daily morning and evening.

Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru fully immersed and involved himself in the sacred routine and amazed to see the Leela of Dwarakapuradheesha Sri Krishna, the Karyakshetra of SriMat Anandateertha Bhagavatpaadacharyaru, Sri Jaiteertharu walked with Sri Madhwacharyaru in 2Vrushbaha roopa in this Udupi only. Sri Madhwacharyaru was none but : HANUMA - BHEEMA - MADHWA and our Jaiteertharu was none but SHESHA AVESHA - INDRAMSHA - ARJUNADEVA.So  for our Yatiraat of Vidya Mutt Sri Raghavendrateertharu, Udupi looked like heaven and really it is  a heaven owing to these Pontiffs and Siddhi Chetanas.

Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru's sacred routine of  Trikaala snaana, Aahneeka,Anushthhaana,Japa,Tapa, Sri Krishna Darshana' Pooja, Praarthana, Paatha Pravachana ,Adhyayana Adhyaapana, Grantha Rachana  and the Uddhaara Karya of bhaktas started all at a time in Udupi. What an amount of divine pleasure  Rayaru was getting in Udupi cannot be described in words.

Bhaktaanukampi, Bhaktavatsala,Karunasamudra Rayaru's Udupi Sanchaara is of great importance  and a great record in our Rayara Mutt - Vidya Mutt. We devotees are quite proud that our Karnataka welcomed Rayaru and honoured greatly as per the rich heritage of our Sri Madhwacharyaru and Karnataka did not fall  lagging behind in acquiring the Anugraha of this great divine swamiji who is always responding to the welfare of the able, noble, needy, sajjanas and the satvikas.
