Meaning

Before describing the Pandharapura Yatra of our Sri Raghavendrateertharu  I wish to share a Miracle that happened  in Bichali a week back. Devotees you are fully aware about the qualities and  the Sanctity of  Punyakshetra as our Bichali Sri Appanacharya  the greatest devotee of Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu has said in Sri Raghavendra Stotra Purascharana Vidhi that to achieve Siddhi the following things, at least one is to be present to call as Siddhi Punya Kshetra:

Goshthhe VrundavaneAshwathhe Purascharanameeritam
Goshthhe Dasha Gunam Vindyat Shatam Vrundavane Tathhaa
Ashwathhe TriShatam Proktam Parvatagretu Panchakam
Nadee Teere Swayutam Hi Punyakshetre Tu Lakshakam

As already described to our Mantralaya devotees cows and GoShaala will have ten times of Punya,Vrundavana hundred times,Ashwathh Vruksha three hundred times, the hilly top five times and the bank of the river Tungabhadra is more than ten thousand times.

A Punyakshetra having all this is more than one lakh times of Siddhi Such a Sacred Holy Kshetra is our Bichali. The attraction  of the world devotees today towards Bichali is almost equal to our Mantralaya. This is all due to the Punya of our GuruRayaru and the the Bhakti of our Bichali Sri Appanacharyaru. On August 26th. A Chennai devotee along with her group of eight devotees visited Mantralaya and came to Bichali. Visited the famous Japadakatti, heard the detail description by the Vamshasthharu about the importance of Ek Shila Brindavana and Japadakatti . After that she desired to have the darshana of Sri Appanacharya house. Went along with the Japadakatti staff Basavaraja. She is a middle aged devotee. After visiting the house of Sri Appanacharyaru she became emotional and devotional. In the spacious hall after doing Namaskara to the spot where Rayaru used to sleep and take rest and Sri Pandurangavithala, she acted like a cobra, raised her  head like the hood of the Serpent - Sheshadevaru  moved in the entire house of Appanacharyaru, all amazed to see that and said daily I am coming, I am hungry, you are not keeping milk and water daily, so keep milk daily for me.

After a week a devotee from America came to Bichali. While going towards the Japadakatti  she was highly amazed to see a round circle of steps. The small stones having the picture of Nagappa and also the Deepas in the glass which were kept round attracted her a lot. She asked Sri Badadha Ramacharyaru what is this ! Sri Ramacharya said this is NagaPratishthhaapana. Abundant Swayam Udbhava Nagashilas are available here as Bichali is Nagaloka. Those desirous of Santana will do the Nagapratishthhaapana with Deepa. Sri Raghavendra Gurustotra Pathhana Ashtottara Pathhana will also be done on this sacred sanctum of Bichali. Sri Appanacharyaru has said in Sri Raghavendra Stotra:

Deepa Samyojanaat Gnyanam Putra Laabho Bhavet Dhruvam

Already large number of devotees are Blessed by this Nagapratishthhaapana and Ashtottara Pathhana on the sacred bank of Tungabhadra in Bichali. So Bichali is simply attracting the world devotees in a noble way and  thus paved the path of success and punya to the devotees. Really the round circle of Nagapratishthhaapana  looks like a hilly region near  Sri Narasimhadevaru. It is the Centre of Divinity to the Santaanapekshis and attracts abundantly. The panorama and the sanctity of the Bichali Japadakatti has won the heart of the world devotees. The Devotee came from America gave her heart. She visited the house of Sri Appanacharya. Saw the famous bichali Nagappa.

She desired Pooja and Abhisheka. Sri Ramacharya entrusted this noble task to the able and the noble Sri Gautamacharya to do everything what all she desired. That day complete Abhisheka was done.

As Nagappa is very fond of Yellow colour Arisina Sri Gautamacharya offered Haridraa Lepana to Bichali Nagappa, worshipped with flowers and Tulasi offered Naivedya and performed Mangalarati. After doing all this the America residing Hindu woman left Bichali happily with gratitude.

Devotees as already described from August 27th.daily the Vamshashthharu are keeping water and milk in the house of Appanacharyaru for Sri Sheshadevaru.From the day of Haridraa Lepana to Bichali Nagappa the milk kept in the house of Appanacharya is becoming yellow. Bichali Nagappa is in the back yard of Appanacharya’s house and the milk is kept in the hall at the corner where our Sri Pandurangavithala is there. The distance is far. We cannot even predict that Bichali Nagappa yellow colour has fallen there. On the contrary we say with faith, devotion and confidence that Bichali Nagappa is highly pleased with the pooja of that woman  performed by Sri Gautamacharya and has accepted the milk happily so it is yellow in colour. Bichali Nagappa is very Jaagruta Blessing the devotees always. So Rayaru liked and lived in the house of Appanacharyaru.

Satvikas and devotees feel and opine that there is a link to the Chennai devotee and to the devotee of America. First she came and clarified that Bichali Nagappa is residing and moving in the house of Appanacharya. Devotee from  America came and performed pooja and Haridraa Lepana. Bichali Nagappa is pleased and accepted the  offered milk. The white  Milk is changed to yellow is the sacred symbol of Bichali Nagappa acceptance of Milk. When science and technological innovations are creating a milestone through communication skills which has connected globally, this is a miracle of Bichali Nagappa in the house of Appanacharyaru by the Blessings of  Bhaktaanugraha Premi Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu. Bichali Nagappa is none but Sri Sheshadevaru accepting the milk of Rayaru in those days.
