Mantralaya-3

(Incident during the time of Sri Susheelendrateertha swamiji)

Background

The most important and sacred incident that actually happened during the period of  Sri Susheelendrateertha swamiji,is explained here
 

Meaning

Persons remembering Mantralaya and Sri Rayaru with devotion and bhakti are always successful and great with gratitude.
Sri Rayaru is in Brindavana with YOGAMUDRA. Early in the morning sharp at the Brahmimuhurta Rayaru walks towards the river Tungabhadra on the rocky bed behind Sri Matha for SNAANA(Bath) AHNEEKA and POOJA. A devotee who has witnessed this with his own eyes is really great and divineful personality for salutation.

A sober Kulkarni used to come to Mantralaya and accompany Sri Rayaru to the morning “Snaana-Ahneeka-Pooja”to the holy Tungabhadra river through the rocky behind Sri Matha. That rockybed is called as "RAYARABANDE".The news spread to all and
reached to Sri Susheelendra teertha swami.Susheelendra teerthru called the kulkarni and asked him to take him to the morning Snaana-Ahneeka-Pooja of Rayaru.The kulkarni agreed and accompanied the swamiji the next day along with Sri Rayaru.  Swamiji, look Rayaru is now going procceding to the river for bath... now see pooja... said Kulkarni.Swamiji did not see anything.After pooja Rayaru asked kulkarni to take TEERTHA.Kularni said mildly please first to Susheelendrateertharu and next his turn.Rayaru at last listened to his devotees request and offered Teertha to Susheelendrateertharu. Susheelendrateertharu saw the hands giving teertrha ,his joy knew no bonds.Praised Kulkarni , how great you are and accompany Rayaru,what an amount of punya Rayaru has bestowed.

After this incident Rayaru asked kulkarni to stay in his place and Rayaru will daily take him to the morning rituals of pooja etc. Karedallige Baruva is really true.
