Background

Aaradhana of Sri Vyasatatvagnyateertharu of Venisompura on the day of Gokulashtami Paarani who took Sanyasa by Sri Bhuvanendrateertharu the 26th.Pontiff of our SRS Mutt and became a Bidi Sanyasi.This pontiff was none but the Avatara of Dhrushtadyumna, elder brother of Droupadi.A Great Devotee of Sri Raghavendrateertharu, a scholar and the credit of  performing Sri Jaiteertha Teekakrutpaadacharyas Sudha Paathha Sudha Paaraayana Sudha Mangala of Eighteen times goes to Sri Vyasatatvagnyateertharu.

The Celebration of Sri Krishna Jayanti through out the universe has brightened the Hari Bhakti in general, Bichali and Mantralaya in particular on this most holy day. Sixty years back devotees attending Rayara Aaradhana in Mantralaya stayed till Sri Gokulashtami and after the Paarani they used to leave Mantralaya. The tight busy schedule has now changed entirely. The floating population of the devotees at the Sanctum has increased considerably by leaps and bounds and Mantralaya is the Divine Centre of our Aashottara.

The grandeur Utsavas of Sri Raghavendrateertharu in Mantralaya and the Miracle of our Yatiraat in protecting his devotees are described in Mantralaya(366).

Sri Gopaladasaru has already forecasted the Celebrations of Mantralaya Sri Rayaru long back. It has become true. I strongly  feel and opine that our Rayaru is residing in Mantralaya not only for 700 years, but will be residing even after that 700 years to help the Devotees of the world and to distribute the abundant Punya to them. In Sri Prtahlada Avatara Rayaru has said:

Praayena Deva Munayoho Tva Vimukti Kaama
Mounam Charanti Vijanena Pararaadha Nishthhaha
Naitaan Vihaaya Krupanaan Vimumuksha
Eko Naanyam Tvadasya Sharanam Bhramato Anupashye

Unwilling to depart from the Haribhaktas and accept Moksha alone. This shows the care and the kind concern of Rayaru to his Devotees. So Rayaru is with us for our Uddhaara. All the Rushis and Munis observe Kaashthha Mouna and pray to Tatvabhimani Devata to impart Moksha to their dears and nears. But Sri Raghavendrateertharu  said will pray to Sri Hari and acquire the Anugraha of Tavabhimani  Devata and thus upheld Sarvottamatva  Sri Harisarvottama in this Bhooloka in a unique manner.

All the time our Sri Hari Vayudevaru are with Rayaru to fulfill and protect the dedicated devotees. Sarvatra Sadaakaala. Sri Bhaagannadasaru Uttanooru Sri Gopaladasaru has said with confidence and challenge.

What ever the Devotees offer to our Rayaru with devotion and affection Rayaru accepts with pleasure. Karunaalu immediately will do Samarpana to Sri Hari. It is all yours your Paramaanugraha. We are really amazed to look at the magnanimity and the sober nature of Rayaru. So in this world we are unable to find such a kind and Great Yatiraat like our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu.

Here I  wish to share the Paramaanugraha and the Miracle our Rayaru showered to a devotee who is always engaged in the Noble Seva of Mantralaya.  Always seeing Rayaru through inward eyes and performs the Pathhana of Sri Raghavendra Gurustotra and involved in the Seva of Rayaru Aho Raatri. The obstacles and the defects pertaining to his health simply scanned by Rayaru and cured permanently in a miraculous way and thus recharged the strength and the stamina  - Punaschetana( Punaha Chetana) to continue in the intense Seva of Mantralaya and Bhikshaalaya. When Devotees face such difficulties Rayaru himself will arrange and manage the whole thing, whether it is surgery or implantation. Sri Raghavendra Gurusarvabhoumaru will place before Sri Hari to solve the problems of health and also life span Aayussu. Sri Hari this Devotee is a true Devotee Satvika Sajjana though his life span is not much, sanction much more to continue the Seva. Rayaru is fully  aware of ManuDharma and knowing the devotees fair and beautiful living and the importance of his Seva  Rayaru pleads, pleaded to Sri Hari and Bestowed :

DeerghaayurAarogyakam

Yah SandhyaasvaNisham Gurorvratipateh SanMangalasyaashtakam
Sadyah Paapaharm SvaseviVidushhaam Bhakyaiva BaaBhaashitam |
Bhaktyaa Vakti Susampadam Shubhapadam DeeghayurAarogyakam
Keertim PutraKalatraBaandhavaSuhrunMoortihi PrayaatiDhruvam

This has practically happened to a devotee What more we require than this ! Really  Rayaru  is the greatest Aaraadhaka of Sri Narayana Sri Moola Ramadevaru, Sri Hari Prahlada Baahleeka Sri Vyasarajaravatari  Rayara Karuna is abundant and cannot be excelled by others. So today all are concentrating on Mantralaya and Bichali.

Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharyaru has said in Gurustotra:

Hantunaha Kaayajaan Doshaan Atmateeya Samudbhavaan
Sarvanapi Pumarthhaanscha  Dadaatu Gururaatmavita
Iti Kaala Traye Nityam Praarthhanaam Yaha Karoti Saha
Ihaam Uttaraaptae Sarveshto Modate Na Atra Samshayaha

Rayaru is alone capable to root out the defects of our body and also our dears and nears when we pray whole heartedly.

Antarangadolu Nintu Prerisuva
Anantaadreesha Doreye Yendu Dasaru Haadiharu
Bhuyativaradendra Sri Guru Raghavendraraya

Our Dasas have beautifully described about our Rayaru.Rayaru is Bhu Yati Varada Indra. Great Pontiff on this earth to Bestow Vara - fulfill the desired wishes. It is possible only to Sri Raghavendrateertharu. Sri RaghavendraTantrakaara   Sri Krishnavadhootaru has said:

Paapeenaam Agraganyoham Dayaloonaam Tvamaagranihee
Tvaam Vina Nahi Jaanena Anyam Maam Adya Uddhaarakaranam

Rayaru is top in the list of Kind Dayaloo and we are top in the list of sinners. Except yourself I do not know any one. So Rayaru is our Uddhaarakaranaru. So we have to surrender to Rayaru just as Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharya has surrendered to Rayaru. Further those who pronounce Rayaru and Mantralaya as Mantra they will immediately attain the Anugraha of Rayaru and their sorrows,worries and difficulties will be vanished soon. That much of power is in Mantralaya and Mantralaya Rayaru.

Aparokshee Kruta Shreeshaha Samupekshita Bhaavajaha
Apekshita Pradaataanyo Raghavendraan Na Vidyate.

Sri Raghavendrateertharu attained Sri  Hari Saakshaatkaara  and never says that he has attained. So simple is our Rayaru. Rayaru is the only pontiff to fulfill our wishes, desired things in life and no one else.
