Meaning

PurajanaMahitoMahyataam Mae Vachobhihi

The King of Ayodhya Sri Dasharathha though eager to perform the Pattabhisheka  of  his dear son SriRamachandra and  appealed  with all concern in the Aasthhaana  did not materialise. The Happy Festive Merry mood of Ayodhya immediately plunged into the deep silence of immense sorrow and misery. The citizens of Ayodhya and the Rushi Munis Satvikas sorry plight cannot be described in words. The whole reason for this is described by Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu in Sri Ramachaaritramanjari that too in one line of the third Shloka.

Kaikayee Preeti HetossaSahaja Nrupajo Valkalee Yaanaranyam

Sri Ramachandra decided to go to the Forest - Aranya - Vana to please his mother Kaikayeeyi.  Seetadevi said She could not live without SriRama, so she joined and to be in the Seva of Rama and Seeta, brother  Laxmana accompanied and joined them. All the three decided to go to Vanavaasa wearing Valkala Vasana.  Sri Ramachandra  never  perturbed for the decision of going to Vanavaasa, But  the entire atmosphere of  Ayodhya changed to melancholy. The above one sentence describes  the essence of immense feelings and trhe happenings of Ramayana. Dasharathha had three wives Kousalya, Sumitra and Kaikayee. Dasharathha loved his youngest wife more and very fond of her. The Servant maid - Daasi of Kaikayee by name Manthhara was very close and dear to Kaikayee , she  knew the whole  incident,  that during the war Kaikayee went with her husband Dasharathha, helped him and saved his life. King became extremely happy and asked her what gift I have to present  to you  for this. Kaikayee said that she will ask at the appro riate time and he has to fulfill that one. Dasharathha agreed happily. Manthhara simply remembered that old incident and reminded Kaikayee and poisoned the heart of Kaikayee and forced her to make use of that Boon. Though Kaikayee good by nature but simply mislead and poisoned by her Maid Servant Manthhara and desired  the Paatabhisheka of her son Bharata instead of Rama. This Demand of Kaikayee became very costly to the king Dasharathha and to the people of Ayodhya. The whole cheerful atmosphere disappeared and a sort of sorrowful mood prevailed every where. Rayaru said only  in one sentence.

Kaikayee Preeti HetossaSahaja Nrupajo Valkalee Yaanaranyam

This gives abundant meaning of the situation.

The result is the Pattabhisheka of Sri Ramachandradeva could not take place. Kaikayee fully knew and aware of the rule which was in vogue  in those days that the person who rules the kingdom for 14 years continuously will occupy the throne permanently. So Kaikayee ordered to Rama to live in the forest for 14 years. In these fourteen years of long gap, the Citizens of Ayodhya will completely forget Sri Rama. Leave Ayodhya means there should not be any contact of anybody from the Ayodhya to Ramachandra. Rama should not know the where about of his dears and nears. So put the condition of 14 years that too to be in the forest. Rama Seeta and Laxmana must be away from all the human relations pertaing to Ayodhya. So made a Master plan. But the effects were adverse, realized later, but in vain. Here we are amazed to know that not only Kaikayee ordered Sri Ramachandra to go to Vanavaasa but already she had brought the Valkala Vastra to all the three. Presented  them. Quietly all the three changed the royal dress and wore the dress of Rushi Munis and the Taapasas. How  Kaikayee yielded to  the brain wash of Manthhara. Always the wicked, the cruel will simply do the brain wash of the good natured man and get their work done. The example of Manthhara is a lesson to all that we should not give room for such hearings and brain wash. They spoil the kind and the affection cordiality and sow the seeds of enemity. Such people will never gain anything in life. We must be always careful that even to this day such Manthharas are living around us and we have to be cautious. If Kaikayee would not have yielded to the brain wash of Manthhara, the Dasharathha would have lived for many years and for the long 14 years of precious life that too at the time of their prime youth Rama Seeta Laxmana would have lived in Ayodhya and enjoyed the life.It is pathetic and tragedy that these three went to Vana Prasthhaana to Vana that too  immediately after the marriage. All the three changed their dresses and like Rushis. Rama was never perturbed as already said, but Shesha Avatari Laxmana though angry simply obeyed the wordings of his brother Rama and became silent.  In Ramayana  Mahakavya Vaalmeeki Maharshi reserved  more than 100 to 200 pages to describe the same. Our Yatiraat Gururaat Sri Raghavendrateertharu described beautifully and magnificently  precisely in the most Sangraha Saara Roopa.

The scene of  Prasthhaamna to Vana of  Sri Rama,Seeta and Laxmana is really heart touching. Simply  we  feel  pity  for the unwanted developments in the mansion of Ayodhya by Kaikayee and Manthhara. Even to this day such Manthharas are breaking the several houses and spoiling the affectionate relationships for their selfish motive. So now the three soon tried to be away from Ayodhya. So Kaikayee  should become happy and take action to the Pattabhisheka of Bharata. The thinking of Ramadeva is entirely different compared to Kaikayee and Manthhara. So soon they crossed the distanced and came near to the Holy Ganga.

Gangaataaree Guha Archyaha Kruta Ruchira Jato Geeshpate Putra Manyaha

Reached the bank of Ganga and all three became extremely happy towards the Darshana of Ganga. Boatman Guha not only crossed the river Ganga but also Worshipped Sri Rama with great Devotion. Guha a great devotee of Sri Ramachandra. On the Sacred bank of Ganga only all three changed their hair style to Jata of Taapasas. They all became Jataadhaari and really Taapasas with Valkala Vastra. Accepted the respectful hospitality and the worship of Bharadwaja the son of Sri Bruhaspatiacharya. Then all the three one after the other followed by walk happily to reside  in the forest for a long period of  fourteen years length.So our Ijshwaku Vamsha Sri Rama is Sarvamaanya Sanmaanya.

Our Dwaita Yatis are Worshipping Sri MoolaRamadevaru without any brake from the days of Sri Anandateertha Bhagavat Paadacharyaru to this day with all grandeur in our Mutt Vidya Mutt and Completely Blessed and received the Anugraha of Sri MoolaRama. The Divine Personalitry of our Swamijis is enhanced much more by the regular Pooja and the Seva  of Sri MoolaRamadevaru. Sri Jaiteertharu Sri Raghavendrateertharu took pains in life just as Sri Ramachandra experienced in Ramayana. But never complained about anything. On the other hand they are the finest  models to do creativity and divinity.

Sondur Sri Krishnavadhootaru in SRI RAGHAVENDRA TANTRA has beautifully described the importance of  the Ashtakshara of our Sri Raghavendraya Namaha. Eight letters of Devanaagari Lipi. We have place a round shaped plate and place the Eight Neerajinas filled with ghee and hoobatti light the Ghee Deepas with the Pathhana of :

OM SRI RAGHAVENDRAYA NAMAHA

Offer Gandha(Sandal paste), Pushpa and Mantrakshate and Pray to our Divine Saint. By doing this we attain the Anugraha of our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu and also the Anugraha of:

Sri Rama - Sri Hari,  Sri Seeta - Sri Laxmi,
Sri Vayudevaru - Sri Praanadevaru - Guru Sri Madhwacharyaru.

We are amazed to know that how Sri Hari Sri Vayu Sri Guru Madhwacharyaru are very dear to our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru.

Hanumantham Raghavam Cha Prajwaalya Ghruta Deepakam
Vartikaa Ashtaka Samyuktam Gandha Pushpa Akshatadibhihi

We are greatly indebted to our Sri Krishnavadhootaru for describing the formula of Bhakti to follow each and everybody in a simple way and attain the Affection of our Kind Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru.

So Sri Raghavendra Vijaya, Sri Raghavendra Gurustotra and Sri RaghavendraTantra are the  Ratna Trayas, three  most Valuable Creative works to acquire the Paramaanugraha of Sri Hari Sri Vayu Sri Guru Madhwacharyaru and  Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru. The three authors Sri Narayanacharya, Sri Appanacharya of Bichali Japadakatti and Sondur Sri Krishnavadhootaru are always remembered by the Devotees of Mantralaya as long as the Sun and the Moon are shining and brightening this World. Rendered abundant Seva to our Rayaru and introduced the great and the divine personality of  Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu.
