Meaning

Dear Devotees as already described a series of Holy and Sacred days Aaradhana Celebrations of the greatest Yativarenyas of our Dwaita Peetha in this Phalgunamaasa. During Sri Prahlada Avatara one day  Sri Hari Bhakta Sri Prahladarajaru remembering the Lotus Feet of Sri Narasimhaswami, the whole mind and heart completely surrendered to the Paada Kamala of Sri Hari. So far the incidents took place  in that Avatara simply appeared like a flashback to the inward eyes of Sri Prahladarajaru. Thrilled with joy and  gratitude to the Kindness of Sri Narahari. How kind you are ! When I called you, you came, that too from the pillar. At that time Deva Muni Sri Naarada Maharshi came to Sri Prahladarajaru. Welcomed with great honour, offered  Paadapooja and Madhuparka. Then said to Devamuni it is my Punya that you have come to me today and asked from which place you are coming. The face of Sri Naarada blossomed like a full moon uttered with joy Krishna Krishna and forgotten himself in the Mahima of Sri Krishna Parama tma, unable to spell out owing to the Devotional Ecstasy as Sri Naaradaru was completely immersed in Sri Krishna Dhyaana. Then Sri Prahaladaru asked what made you to become so joyful and happy today. Amazed to see the enthusiasm and the bliss.

Then Sri Naaradaru said Prahlada I am just returning from Vaikuntha after availing the Divya Darshana of Sri Hari and said that you and I have to be born together, take Avatara and indulge in the Seva of Sri Hari. This is the order of Sri Hari. We both have to  dedicate our life to Sri Hari - Sri Krishnaarpana, proclaim to the whole world the importance of Sri Krishna Pooja and Sri Krishna Paaramya. A Golden Opportunity to engage ourselves in Sri Harisarvottama and Sri Vayujeevottama. Again Devarshi said that in the next Janma I will be your Shishya and you will be my Guru. Prahladaru surprised to listen. What Deva Muni you will become my Shishya and I will have to be your Guru ! What a strange? No Prahlada do not worry about that. It is a happy thing that we will be together in the same time and the same nature of work of Sri Hari Seva - Sri Krishna Seva. Sri Naaradaru with  pleasure described the Mahima of  Sri Krishna. Do not worry about Guru -  Shishya. Forget the difference between Guru Shishya Taaratam a. Let us take the birth in Kaliyuga and acquire the Punya of describing Sri Krishnavatara Mahima and make our Janma meaningful Saarthhaka. Aparokshagnyani Sri Prahladarajaru thus experienced the Scene of Maru Janma in his inward eyes and surrendered himself to Hari Seva. Sri Prahladarajaru took Avatara as  Sri Vyasarajaru(the Guru) and Sri Naaradaru took Avatara as Sri Purandaradasaru(the Shishya). It is quite interesting to know that the great Dasavarenya Sri Purandaradasaru is a Divine Chetana born to propagate Bhakti Cult Sri Krishna Bhakti Prasaaroddhaara. Our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gururaat was Sri Bahleeka - Sri Prahlada and Sri Vyasarajaru ( the Guru of Deva Muni Sri Naarada Maharshigalu - Sri Purandaradasaru).

There lived in Bannur a pious, satvika, sajjan couple by name Balhanasumati Ramacharya and Lakshmidevi. They could not have Santaana for a long time. Once Abbur Sri Brahmanyateertharu came there and Blessed the couple. The couple got three children by the Paramaanugraha of the Swamiji and also agreed to give the third male child to the Mutt. Swamiji took care that the child  should not touch the earth. So at the time of delivery Swamiji handed over a big golden plate -  harivaana. So is the grandeur of our Guru Sri Vyasarajaru - the previuos Avatara of our Rayaru. Shaashtheeka  Vamsha Kashyapa Gotra. Sri Brahmanyateertharu performed the Naamakarana to the male child as Yatirajacharya. Here also Sri Yatirajacharya had elder sister Bheemakka and elder brother Madhwapati.

Sri  Brahmanyateertharu made  Sri Yatirajacharya as his next Successor and named as Sri Vyasateertharu. We respectfully call as Sri Vyasarayaru - Sri Vyasarajaru. As per the Aadesha of Sri Brahmanyateertharu great scholar Laxminarayana Muni educated Yatirajacharya. Sri Laxminarayana Muni the Guru of Sri Vyasarajaru acquired the Title of Honour as Sripadarajaru under the Presidentship of   Sri Vibudhendrateertharu in the Vidwat Sabha which continued for 12 days.

So  (our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu) Sri  Bahleekaraja, Sri Prahladaraja and  Sri Vyasarajaru  became the Kulaguru of the  Karnataka Vijayamagara Emperor and protected the Empire through his divine power and Sri Krishnaanugraha. Played a very important role towards the development of Culture, literature, Music and Mankula Uddhaara in manifolds. As per the wordings of Sri Naarada Maharshi became the Guru to Sri Purandaradasaru, guided Dasa Sahitya and made fesat of Sri KrishnaMahimaAmruta.

Here I wish to describe  that our Manukula is highly fortunate and grateful   that by the Anugraha of Sri Hari, Sri Hanuma - Sri  Bheema -  Sri Madhwacharyaru through his Aparokshagnyana came to know that  the Divine idol of Balagopala, holding the Manthhana  (Kadagolu), worshipped by Rukminidevi which was at that time safely kept in  the mud(Gopichandana) in the Rukmini garden of Dwaraka is arriving to Malpe, at the Seashore of Udupi. So Acharya Sri Madhwaru went to Malpe, through the Miracle of Sri Vayudevaru saved the ship from the danger and thus acquired the idol of Sri Krishna which was in the log of Gopichandana. Immersed in the Madhwa Sarovara as per the rituals for purity and sanctity then performed the Pratishthhaapana and Praanapratishthhaapana of Lord Sri Krishna. So Sri Anandateertha Bhagavatpaadacharya Sri Madhwacharyaru - Sri Acharya Madhwaru - SriMadcharyaru we call as JagatVandyaru, Poojaneeyaru, Trikaalasmaraneeyaru. The glory of  Dwapara Yuga was re installed by Sri Anandateertharu in Udup . A Divine Centre to all our Dwaita Yativarenya As the essence of Sri Harisarvottama  and Sri Vayujeevottama residing abundantly in Udupi.

Sri Purandaradasaru  and Sri Kanakadasaru were the contemporary. Lived together under the able and the kind affection of Sri Vyasarajaru. Sri Vyasarajaru decided that the world should know the greatness of these two Dasavarenyas. In Udupi Sri Kanakadasaru was not allowed to enter the temple of Sri Krishna. Sitting at the back of the temple only prayed and made the Stotra of Sri Krishna. Immediately Sri Krishna Paramatma turned to the back of the temple, a small hole appeared in the wall and Sri  Krishna gave Darshana to his dearest Devotee Sri. Kanakadasaru. Karedallige Baruva our Swami Sri Hari is highly concerned about his devotees at all times.

As a mark of this  Holy Memorable Event in Udupi Swami Sri Krishna is standing in the same position from the days of Kanakadasaru  today we all devotees have to take the Darshana of Sri Krishna through a square hole of the door and the door is always closed.  Only for Pooja the Archaka and the Paryaaya Swamiji enter the Garbhaalaya.

Sri Vyasarajaru took Avatara only to worship Sri Krishna. Really our  Sri Vyasarayaru - Sri Purandaradasaru a Sacred Pair of Bhakti. It is important to know that Sri Purandaradasaru Shined  as Dasavarenyaru in Vijayanagara on the bank of Tungabhadra by  Sri Vyasarajaru. Shishya always praises Guru. Here Guru has praised Shishya :

Dasarendare Purandara Dasarayya.

Sri Vyasarajaru has praised Sri Purandaradasaru. We are overwhelmed to know that When Sri GuruRaghavendrateertharu was in Pandharapur, Rayaru always listened the melody of sweet Veena. Finally Rayaru is fortunate to have the Pratyaksha Darshana of Sri Naarada Maharshi at the Pillar of  Sri Purandaradasaru.

Today Phalguna Bahula Chaturthhi the Aaradhana of Sri Vyasarajaru Celebrated at Anegundi Navavrundavana with devotion and grandeur, very close and dear to Sri Hari with the Aavesha of Sri Vayudevaru.

This Divine  Chetana Maha Mahima Sri Vyasarajaru is our Mantralaya Yatiraat, Gururaat Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru, residing on the bank of the Sacred Tungabhadra and indulged in the Deergha  Akhanda Japa of Sri Hari to protect the Manukula. At each and every step in all the Avataras Rayaru has meticulously  upheld and propagated Sri Harisarvottama and Sri Vayujeevottama. Such a great Mahaan Mahima Daivee Chetanaru is our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha
