Meaning

Really an auspicious week between Sri RamaNavami and Sri HanumaJayanti to the Devotees of Mantralaya. Maasa Niyaamaka Sri Padmini Vishnu - Govinda is Blessing the Satvikas in this Festival. The Pooja of Sri MoolaRamadevaru in our VidyaMutt on this special day is the main attraction on the day of Sri RamaNavami. It is very interesting and important to know that the Vamshasthharu of Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharya, the ancestors of Appanacharya family viz: Badada Sri Gundabhatta and Badada Sri Chandrabhatta, the two brothers are praised and appreciated by our Vidya Mutt Swamiji Sri Raghunandanateertharu the 13th. Pontiff of our Hamsanaamaka Peetha of Sri Madhwacharyaru owing to our Sri MoolaRamadevaru. Sri Raghunandanateertharu is the Guru of Sri Surendrateertharu and Sri Vijayeendrateertharu. A Copper plate inscription is also presented to these two brothers by our Sri Raghunandanateertharu as a record. We call it as Tamrapatra. That is with the Appanacharya family even to this day.

Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharya family has always rendered the noble service in upholding Sri Harisarvottama and Sri Vayujeevottama. Today the family members of Appanacharyaru are the Archakas of Ek Shila Brindavana in Bichali Japadakatti and spreading the universal divine message of Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu.

Sri Ramachaaritryamanjaree is the greatest contribution of Sri Raghavendrateertharu. The complete Ramayana is depicted in only twelve shlokas. All the events and the incidents are covered. Such a scholarly work is a Boon to all of us for daily Paraayana. For this great work Sri Ramachaaritryamanjaree our Sri Laxminarayanacharyaru has written the Vyakhyaana - Commentary meticulously and we are highly fortunate that we come to know various things in detail. The shloka:

Rama Paadambujaasaktam Ramantika Kathharatam

RamaDasaPadaasaktam Raghavendra Gurum Bhaje

Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu is always in the Seva of Sri Ramachandradevaru, The Divine Saint Sri MoolaRamaaraadhaka - Ramaraadhaka Punya Murty. Acquired abundant Punya. Sri Seeta Maate is always in the heart of Sri Ramadevaru. Sri Maruti Hanumanthadevaru feel happy to listen the most sacred Punyacharite. Sri Praanadevaru is too close to Seeta and Seetapati Sri Ramachandra. Sri Vayudevaru is very dear to Sri Hari SriManNarayana - Vishnu and Sri Lakshmidevi. Our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru is RamaDasaPadaasaktam- RamaDasa means Hamnumanthadeva Padaasakta keen in the Paada Seva of Sri Vayudevaru - Sri Hanumanthadevaru and our Acharya Sri Madhwacharyaru, Seva in many ways as Tatiana - Uddhaara and Granthha Rachana. Such a Great Yatiraat is our Mantralaya Rayaru.

So VidwatChakraChoodamani Sri Laxminarayanacharyaru has described in the shloka beautifully.

Rama Paadambujaasaktam Ramantika Kathharatam

RamaDasaPadaasaktam Raghavendra Gurum Bhaje

Let us Pray and prostrate to Sri Rama Dasa Padaasakta GuruRaghavendraru and live peacefully and happily.Really the style of Sri Laxminarayanacharya's writing is so nice and marvelous that so many appropriate meanings from one shloka. After all the hereditary genes have blossomed automatically and meticulously from Shaashtheeka Vamsha Beegamudre family Goutama Gotra:

Veena Sri Krishnacharyaru,
Veena Sri Kanakachalabhattaru
Veena Sri Timmannabhattaru and
Veena Sri Venkatanathabhattaru our Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru.

Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharyaru also described Rayaru in Gurustotra in the same way:

Sri Raghavendro Haripaadakanja Nishevanaallabdha Samasta Sampat

Deva Swabhaavo Divija Drumo Ayam Ishta Pradomae Satatam Sa Bhooyaat

Sri Rayaru has acquired the abundant Punya by the Seva of Sri Haripaadakanja
- of the Lotus feet of Sri Hari. Today magnanimously Rayaru is Blessing Santaana - Sampattu Parishuddha Bhakti - good knowledge - good health to the world devotees. Samasta Sampat. All the requirements of the devotees in many ways. Sri Raghavendrateertharu's Godly Nature Deva Swabhaava and DivijaDruma Kalpavruksha. So always liberally distributing to us:

Deva Swabhaavo Divija Drumo Ayam Ishta Pradomae Satatam Sa Bhooyaat
Real Satvika Sajjana Brahmins with noble character are always Blessed by our Mantralaya Rayaru.

By the sentence Rama Daasa Padaasaktam, Sri Laxminarayanacharyaru has clarified that

Sri Hanuma Bheema has taken the Avatara of Madhwa - Sri Madhwacharyaru.
Rayaru is indulged in the Seva of RamaDasa Kaaya - Vaachaa - Manasaa.
Propagation of Acharya Tatvas to this universe. Extensive Granthha Rachana, Uddhara of the Devotees and upheld Sri Harisarvottama and Sri Vayujeevottama. It is heartening to know that our Rayaru is always engaged in one way or the other. Today though Rayaru is sitting below the Brindavana is engaged in the long Japa of Sri Hari. It is all for the sake of us. Ther is no limit to the Karuna of our Rayaru. So Laxminarayancharya has given a universal call:

RamaDasaPadaasaktam Raghavendra Gurum Bhaje

So we offer our sincere gratitude to Shree Paadaputra Sri Laxminarayanacharya in this auspicious week for the most valuable commentary of Sri Ramachaarirtyamanjaree. The poorvashrama son of our Rayaru is Jagadvanyaru. The word R A G H A V E N D R A gives the meaning of Prahlada which also denotes Prahladaavatari : Bahleeka - Prahlada Vyasarajaravatari Sri Raghavendraru. When we read the Vyakhyana shloka carefully we come to know all these things in detail.Vyakhyana - Commentary is nothing but the Vishwaroopa Darshana of Rayara Pratibha,Daivee Shakti and the kind concern of Uddhaara of Manukula. Rayaru is Sarvswa to us today.Akshyada Tavanidhi of Punya:

Bhaktaanugraha Premi Sarvatra Sarva Karyeshu Jaya Pradaat
Tvameva Sarvswa Mama Dehi Karaavalambam Guru Raghavendra

We pray whole heartedly always to our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu.

One more important thing is that the word RAMA is very Mangalakara Kalyanakara to us. When there is ample, abundant happiness both in office as well as in the house, the word automatically comes to our mouth, we are now in RAMARAJYA.

Vidwat Chakra Choodamani Sri Laxminarayanacharya's efforts to the Vyakhyana of SRI RAMACHAARITRYAMANJAREE Master piece, so precise and accurate and we are greatly indebted to him. Many devotees already know but even then I wish to describe again that the Signature of our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu is not in his name. That is in the name of his Aaradhya Adhidaiva Sri MoolaRamadevaru. Always signed in all the documents in the Devanagari script of Sri Ramachandra. It is a very rare case. This is the speciality of our Rayaru, who has surrendered and offered everything to Sri Hari. Even the signature is also in the name of Sri Hari. So the PUNYA is increasing day by day as it is distributed to the world devotees.

Rama Paadambujaasaktam Ramantika Kathharatam
RamaDasaPadaasaktam Raghavendra Gurum Bhaje

We Devotees have given our heart to this versatile shloka.
