After Trikaala Sandhya and Aahneeka Sri Raghavendrateertha will sit for Dhyana with a strong determination that now today I will see my Adhi Daiva Sri Krishna. Rayaru used to invite in his Hrudaya Mantapa, requested him to sit in the Hrudaya Mantapa and then worshipped with great devotion.As Rayaru is Aparokshagnyani naturally reached the climax - Paraakaashthhate of Bhakti and Samaadhi Sthiti. Even Rushi Munis were unable to understand Rayaru means what will be our plight.The divine personality of Rayaru is equal to the peak of Himalaya.
One day when Rayaru was sitting like this with closed eyes in front of Sri Krishna, Rayaru heard the sweet melody of flute coming from a far distance. Listened intensely and attentively at that time Rayaru reached the state of mind of Samaadhi Sthiti. The ears and the heart were listening , throbbed, desired to see Murali Krishna Murali Manohara. Dear world devotees it is quite important to know that our Rayaru practically literally Aksharashah Tatvashaha follwed the Anusandhaana of Guru Sri Madhwacharyaru. We are amazed to see the greatness of Rayaru that daily during Dhyana Rayaru attained the Divya Darshana of Sri Krishna that too playing the flute pleasantly and Swami was smiling. Impressed Rayaru by Venu Naada. What a sacred routine our Rayaru indulged and what a meaningful Saarthhaka Yatiraat ! This is nothing but the culture, legacy and heritage of Januma Janumantaras Saakshaatkaara and the Samskaara. Dharma Paraayanate of Sri Harisarvottama and Vayujeevottama essence fully ripened in Udupi we can say. In Udupi any time Rayaru immersed in Dhyana has seen Sri Krishna without fail. This is not possible for others. Possible only to the Aparokshagnyani. This is a regular action of Bhakti to Yati GuruRayaru. This continued for a long time in Udupi.
One afternoon Sri Raghavendrateertharu sat for Dhyana in the Garbhaalaya of Sri Krishna with great determination. Praised the Lord with Stotras, as Sri Prahladarajaru praised Sri Narasimhadevaru after killing Hiranyakashyapu Daitya as Sri Narasimhadevaru was furious with Ugra Roopa, no one went forward including Sri Laxmidevi. It was Sri Prahladarajaru who stood before Sri Narasimhadevaru with Bhakti and praised through stotras. SriNarahari left UgraRoopa and back to Normalcy. Sri Narahari with affection took the Baala Prahladarajaru on his laps and said :
MadBhaktvaastvaamanuvruatahaa
Those who follow you, respect you, regard you are the real bhaktas of mine.
That Boon is to our Rayaru. So said Januma Janumantara samskaara and Saakshaatkaara.
To feel completely that we are before the Lord - God - Sri Hari and forget ourselves with ecstasy is Samaadhi Sthiti. At that time only Sri Sundara Neela MeghaShyama gave Darshana to Rayaru. Amazed to see the extraordinary handsome attraction of Sri Krishna. Rayaru felt that all the beauty of the fourteen Lokas essence is in front of him. The joy , happiness and the satisfaction of Sri GuruRayaru knew no bonds. But immediately that Mohaka Roopa disappeared from the heart of Rayaru. Tried a lot but could not succeed in getting that scene to the heart. Rayaru like a child prayed to Sri Krishna, why you did like this? Please come again and show me your Divya Roopa.
A Miracle happened in Udupi to Sri Raghavendrateertha Guru.Rayaru heard the melodious sweet music of the flute. The whole body and the pancehdriyas became the ear and the heart to hear the soothing, pleasing melody of the flute.Rayaru said hither to I have never heard such a sweet flute of music that too coming from the Garbhaalaya of the Sri Krishna temple in Udupi. Rayaru tried to trace out and actually it was from the Garbhagudi - Garbhaalaya Rayaru opened his eyes and surprised to see the Divine Light filled in the Garbhaalaya in front of Rayaru. Gazed and also listened to the song of the flute. Added to this there was the sound of Ghill Ghill the sound of the Gejje tied to the legs. Now Rayaru reached the climax and said I am fortunate to see you now.I have been Blessed by you in all the Janumas and Avataras. My devotion is increasing day by day because of you Swami. You have protected me always in all the Avataras. You alone had sent me here. I am so happy and care free as a child is in his mother's womb. Swami please do my Uddhhaara Sri Hari Ramalola Sri Krishna Narayana Madhava .From Dwaraka you have come to Udupi oh ! Churner Krishna Kadagola Krishna. Sri Rayaru prayed in Udupi like anything.
Dear devotees we find such a state of mind
and heart in the devotees of Rayaru. That too the greatest devotees. Among
them are:
Surapur Sri Anandadasaru popularly known
as Sri Kamaleshavithaladasaru.
