Date : Nov 25 2010



Background

The Neerajanashtaka Stavana and the significanec of Vidya Mutt Kumbhakonam H.H. Sri Vijayeendrateertharus Shloka described in Sri Vyasaraja Stotram about our Rayaru are described in Mantralaya(378).
 

Meaning

The Tenth Pontiff Sri Vibudhendrateertharu again took Avatara as Sri Vishnuteertharu and took Sanyasa from Sri Surendrateertharu as Sri Vijayeendrateertharu the 15th.Pontiff of our Vidya Mutt Rayara Mutt has beautifully described in Sri Vyasarajastotra:

Prahladasya Avataro AsaaVindrasyaya Praveshavaan
Tena Tat Sevinaam Naraanaam Sarvam Yetat Bhavet Dhruvam

Prahlada Avatari very Powerful and Miraculous Divine Personality will take birth very shortly and Indrasyaaya Praveshavaan, feel like the presence of Indra Vaibhava. All the Sajjanas and the Satvikas will perform the Seva and this will become true. This is the most important statement of our Paramaguru Sri Vijayeendrateertharu of Kumbhakonam who was well versed in 64 Kalas and has composed more than 105 valuable Granthhas. The statement is described about the arrival of our Sri Raghavendrateertharu. As already described Sri Surendrateertharu played a very important role in our VidyaMutt who was the contemporary of Sri Vyasarajateertharu of Hampi. It is heartening to know that both the Swamijis met in Anegundi, on the bank of Tungabhadra very near to the holy Navavrundavana, a few steps of walk.

Sri Surendrateertharu the fourteenth pontiff of our Sri Acharya Parampara guided Sri Vijayeendrateertharu and Sri Sudheendrateertharu and further announced the arrival of the great Chetana, Avatara of Sri Raghavendrateertharu.

The YatiParampara from Sri Vibudhendrateertharu, Sri Jitamitrateertharu,Sri Raghunandanateertharu, Sri Surendrateertharu, Sri Vijayeendrateertharu,Sri Sudheendrateertharu - Sri Raghavendrateertharu
is highly remarkable in our Dwaita Siddhanta. A great achievement of Devotional Values. Sri Vijayeendrateertharu has clearly mentioned in the Shloka a great Yatiraat will adorn the VidyaMutt and Bless the world devotees. There is no doubt about this.

Yetat Bhavet Dhruvam. In Sri RaghavendraTantra Sondur Sri Krishnavadhootaru has beautifully and meticulously described the technique of Pooja Vidhaana of our great Mantralaya Gururaat Sri Raghavendrateertharu and acquire the Anugraha of Rayaru. As per the Neerajanashtaka Stavana we have to do the Pathhana o the eight shlokas and light each Ghee Neerajana Deepa. Devotees are already following the sacred system and tradition on every Thursday, as Thursday is the Birth Day of our Rayaru and are greatly Blessed by Sri Gururayaru in all walks of life. Sri Krishnavadhootaru has described in Tantra that lighting the Neerajana Deepa with Neerajanashtaka stavana on Thursday we have to perform without fail. So that we are sure to attain the Anugraha of Rayaru, in the wordings of Avadhootaru

SHATASIDDHA. THE DEVOTEES WILL FULFILL THEIR DESIRES. ISHTAARTHHA SIDDHIRASTU.

Dinae Dinae Prakurveeta Guruvaare Visheshtaha
Pooja Kaale Athhavaa Bhaktyaa Gururajasya Sannidhow
Iti Sri Raghavendra Ashtakshara Mantratmaka Stavanam
Neerajaneshu Pathhataam Raghavendraha Praseedati

Then we have to join hold and open the two palms of our hands filled with different kinds of flowers and offer with devotion to Gururayaru pronounce the shloka:

Suvarna Ratna Khachitam Pushpam Pushpanjalim Tava
Sri Raghavendra Gururaat Sweekuru Prabho

We have to pray and surrender to our Mantralaya Rayaru. Nothing is impossible to Rayaru everything is possible to Rayaru owing to the abundant Anugraha of Sri Hari.

Asaadhya Saadhaka Swamin Asaddhya Tava Kim Vada ?

To Bless and Protect all of us Guru Raghavendra Swamin is sitting below the Brindavana in Mantralaya in the long Japa of Sri Hari. We put forth our prayer :

Paapeenaam Agraganyoham Dayaloonaam Tvamaagraneehee
Tvaam Vinaa Nahi Jaanena Anyam Maam Adya Uddhaarakaaranam

I am the first and the foremost in the list of Paapees. You are on the top in the list of kind Dayaloonaam. Except yourself I do not know any body GuruRaghavendra. Now you are the only Saint to do my UDDHAARA. As your Avatara is for the great task of Uddhaara of the world devotees.

Sri Krishnavadhootaru at the Sanctum of Hampi at the Shambhunatha cave on the bank of the sacred Tungabhadra performed the Japa and Tapa without proper food for day in and day out for two years of Om Sri Raghavendraya Namaha Om Sri Appanaryaya Namaha, both are Ashtaksharee. Finally kind Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu gave Pratyaksha Darshana to Krishnavasdhootaru at the Shanbhunatha cave only. Several important points Rayaru explained in detail to Krishnavadhootaru and said that you are born for the sake of the Rachana of Sri RaghavendraTantra. As per the Niropa of Rayaru Krishnavadhootaru wrote Sri RaghavendraTantra. It is most Siddhiprada Granthha. So the style of pooja and paryer are very important to all of us to become dear and near to Yatiraat Sri Raghavendrateertharu.

Jaya Shabdaihi Paahi Shabdaihi Gadyaihi Padyaihi Pradakshinaam
Karomi Raghavendrarya Santushto Bhava Sarvadaa

Jaya Gururaya I here by pray with devotion the Gadya Prose - Padya Poetry , perform Pradakshina and Namaskara GuruRaghavendra. Please always accept my Seva with pleasure - Santushto Bhava Sarvadaa. It is our Fortune that the Seva and the Pooja offered to Rayaru are all agreeable and acceptable to Sri Hari. As Rayaru offers the whole to Sri Hari Samarpane. As already described the below shloka I again repeat and impress that:

Gururaat Raghavendrasya Ekaikasmin Pradakshine
Sapta Dweepa Mahee Yaatraa Phalam Vindati Maanavaha

Sri Krishnavadhootaru said in Tantra that a single Pradakshina of Rayara Moola Brindavana Pradakshina in Mantralaya will result into the Yaatra Phala of the entire Teertha Kshetra Yaatra of the whole world. So great and Punyavantaru is our Rayaru. The same thing is described by Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharyaru in Gurustotra long back.

Sarva Yaatraa Phallavaaptaiya Yathha Shakti Pradakshinam
Karomi Tava Siddhasya Vrundavanagatam Jalam
Shirasaa Dhaaraamyadya Sarva Teerthha Sarva Teerthha Phalaaptayae


So the world devotees are visiting the sanctums of Mantralaya and Bhikshalaya to attain the Pareamaanugraha of Sri Raghavendrateertharu. Our Complete Madhwa Siddhanta Siddhi Saara is in Mantralaya with Sri Raghavendrateertharu:

Sri Hari Vayu Guru Acharya Sri Madhwaru Sri Jaiteertharu Sri Vijayeendrateertharu are with Rayaru who is sitting in the long Japa of Sri Hari.So much of Siddhi Punya is all to the Uddhaara of the world devotees is awaiting and warmly welcoming all of us. Let us avail the opportunity with Bhaava Shuddhi and Chitta Shuddhi enlighten our life, attain everything including Moksha at the end.
