Meaning

Dear world devotees we are really amazed to know the Paramaanugraha of Sri Hari to our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru. At the same time  the Mantralaya Sri Rayaru's devotees  special power of Aparokshagnyana,  affection and the kind concern towards the Uddhaara of Manukula is highly praise worthy. The main  aim and the motto of Mantralaya Series is to describe all these incidents, sacred thoughts and noble ideas. A sincere and humble effort to bring all the world devotees in the folder of Bhakti and the Anugraha of Mantralaya Rayaru. All these incidents were practically happened and there is a record. The famous and the well known Super and the Superb The Dasas Dasatrayas lived on the sacred bank of Tungabhadra  are:

Sri Vijayadasaru of Ceekalaparvi
Sri Gopaladasaru of Uttanooru    and
Sri Jagannathadasaru of Manvi
 
These three Dasavarenyaru are Trikaala Smaraneeyaru, very Sacred and Holy. We are highly fortunate that the Dasatrayas are all the dearest devotees of Mantralaya Gururaat Yatiraat Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru, Aparokshagnyanis and dedicated their whole life in the Seva for Sajjanas Uddhaara and  also for proper propagation of Madhwasiddhanta.

Now I wish to describe the incident that happened to Sri Aigee Venkataramacharya the son of Sri Aigee Venkatanarasimhacharya, who took Sanyasa by the 26th.Pontiff of our Rayara Mutt Sri Bhuvanendrateertharu  as Sri Vyasatatvagnyateertharu  and became a Bidi Sanyasi and lived in Venisompura. Lead an ascetic life.Sri Subodhendrateertharu continued the Parampara of our VidyaMutt as the 27th. Pontiff. This is a known fact to all of us.

The Poorvashrama name of Sri Vyasatatvagnyateertharu was Aigee Venkataramacharya. Very near to Mantralaya, Uttanooru,Sankapura ,
Venisompura and Gadwal. Born to a great Chaturveda   Pandit Sanskrit scholar Sri Aigee Venkatanarasimhacharya. Aigee is the name of that Village. After a long time owing to the Anugraha of Sri Venkataramana  of Tirumala the noble couple attained the Santaana Bhaagya, so they named the name of their Kulaswami only. Childhood  spent in in playing . After Upanayana  Samskaara the boy Venkatarama did not study at all, even the basic alphabets of Devanaagari. This annoyed the parents. Aigee Venkatanarasimhacharya really worried about his son's studies. Elders and well wishers opined that Venkataramanacharya will become alright if he is married now as he has already attained the age of eighteen years. So the parents did that also. But the condition did not change. Till  Venkataramacharya attained the age of thirty years the  same thing continued. His  mother said to Venkatanarasimhacharya one day, why can't you go to Uttanur and ask Sri Bhaagannadasaru(Sri Gopaladasaru) about the future of our son Venkatarama. He is an Aparokshagnyani, Dasa Shreshthha Daivee Bhakta, dearest devotee of our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu. Though Acharya was interested in the future of his son, his status of a great Sanskrit scholar, proud came in the way. Thought personally going to him and asking about his son is below dignity. So he dragged on for days together.

One day Venkatanarasimhacharya said to his wife that he is going to Uttanur to collect Tulasi from the Venkateshwara Temple. Immediately his wife brought two dry dates and tied to the end of his Uttareeya  and said meet Sri Bhaaganna and ask about him without fail. Then Sri Venkatanarasimhacharya proceeded to Uttanur which is about 6 Kilometers from Aigee After  collecting Tulasi Venkatanarasimhacharya entered the Swami temple and met Sri Gopaladasaru(Sri Bhaagannadasaru). After seeing Acharya Dasaru said oh! You have come today my sister asked you to meet me so you have come. Acharya said no not like that. I have come to collect for Tulasi. Stood thinking for a while, then Uttanur Sri Gopaladasaru said, why do you hesitate? untie the two dry dates from your Uttareeya and give here. Acharya amazed to hear this. Sri Bhaagannadasaru offered the dry dates to  the Lord Sri Venkateshwara and said to Venkatanarasimhacharya. Do not worry about your son  Venkataramacharya. He is a great Avataara Chetana and become a great scholar and he will produce scholars and Aparokshagnyanis. Acharya said how it is possible, as he has already crossed 30 Years. No knowledge of even the basic alphabets. Dasaru said to Venkatanarasimhacharya that you ask your son Venkataramacharya daily to sit and start the reading - the Pathhana of Sarvamooladi Granthhas. He will listen and become a great scholar within three months as he is the Avatara of Drushtdhyumna. Acharya accordingly started the sacred routine and soon Venkataramacharya became a perfect scholar owing to the culture - Samskaara of Poorvajanma.

Then again asked Venkatanarasimhacharya to Uttanur Sri Gopaladasaru when he is so extraordinary what made him to lead as an illiterate - Agnyaani for so many years. Then Uttanur Sri Gopaladasaru - Sri Bhaagadasaru - Sri Gopalavithalankitaru said to Acharya that your son has talked bad about the Sajjanas - Satvikas - Stottamas - Svottamas and the Devotees of Mantralaya Rayaru that too at their back. In front talking good words and behaving very close, but in their absence always talking bad and making fun of others. This made him happy and became dear to the people who were listening daily. That Dosha and Paapa is the result of illiteracy for this long 30Years. So lived like this till now. From now onwards your son Venkataramacharya will become an extraordinary  Scholar and definitely perform the Paaraayana  - Pathhana - Pravachana of Sri Jaiteertha  Teekakrutpaadaru's SriManNyaayaSudha not one or two times but will perform the Mangala of Sudha for 18  Times. Not only become a scholar, but will produce scholars and guide them properly. The father Sri Aigee Venkatanarasimhacharya's joy knew no bonds. As per the wordings of Sri Bhaagannadasaru  Sri Venkataramanacharyaru shined as  Sri Vyasatatvagnyateertharu of Venisompura as a Bidi Sanyasi - a Scholar -  a Sudha Pandit - Aparokshagnyani and  a great Mahamahimaru.Thus Uttanur Sri Gopaladasaru became very close to our Aigee Venkataramacharyaru.

Dear World Devotees speaking ill of others at the back is a great sin. Such people will be more selfish and always claiming their own supremacy in all matters and suffer from a psychological disease like Schizophrenia etc. Sri Gopaladasaru has clearly said that this Dosha - Paapa will yield either Illiteracy or Poverty. Aigee Venkataramacharya by the dint of his merit and extraordinary culture of Poorva Janma and also Drushtadhyumna in the days of Mahabharata was able to overcome that by the kind act of  the Karunaalu Dasavarenya Sri Bhaagannadasaru. We indulge in such activities and derive pleasure,  talk lightly and make fun of others. By this incident we must be careful in dealing with our own fellow men or else we will be a prey to receive the worst things in life.In the recent days of Kaliyuga the suffering will not be in the next Janma, but will have to suffer in this life only. Moreover it is difficult to get Divine Gurus and advisors like  Uttanur Sri Gopaladasaru.

So, dear devotees we have to be careful  always and  try to Develop our Personality and always remember Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu and Bichali  - Bhikshaalaya Japadakatti Sri Appancharyaru and Chant the Sri Raghavendra Stotra Gurustotra. That is really Sarveshta Saadhakam. Let us achieve something meaningful and attain the Paramaanugraha of our Kind Rayaru.
