Yatis stay in one place for Chaaturmaasa owing to the rainy season and engage in Dharma Prasaara.

First half of the fourth shloka of Sri Ramachaaritramanjari Vyakhyana by Vidwat Chakra Choodamani Shreepadaputra Sri Laxminaryanacharyaru and the abundant Power of Siddhi of the Devotees of Rayaru are described in Mantralaya(413).


Meaning

Today is the first  Thursday of Chaaturmaasa of  Khara Naama Samvatsara.
Every year we welcome  Chaaturmaasa as per the routine and the Cycle  of Rutu Chakra. Our heart fill with innumerable Divine Rememberances. Simply take us to a new world. We feel and throb for the great Daivee Chetanas and wonder how they Sacrificed  and upheld the values and Protected the Manukula. We are highly grateful to  Sri Jaiteertharu popularly known as Teekakrutpaadaru. During this Chaaturmaasa only Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru entered Brindavana  and sat for Deergha Akhanda Japa of Sri Hari. So when Chaaturmaasa Comes all these things appear as a flash back to our inward eyes and we experience mixed feelings. Many Devotees observe Vrutas during Chaaturmaasa. I appeal to all the Devotees to perform the Pathhana of Sri Raghavendra Gurustotra  composed by Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharyaru when ever we find time in our routine and do not allow the mind and  the heart to be blank, try to see Rayaru through our inward eyes.

 During the Vanavaasa of 14 years Sri Ramachandra spent the Chaaturmaasa in Karnataka that too on the bank of Sacred Tungabhadra in Hampi. Daily worshipped  Sri Virupaksha Sri Rudradevaru and after will hang the Dhaarapaatra so that drop by drop water will fall on the head of Lord Shiva

Jaladhaaraato Shiva Priyaha

Thus our Sri Ramdeva Clarified to the whole world the Cordial Relationship of HariHara.

  Let us proceed to Sri Ramachaaritramanjari and look into the Vyakhyana of Shreepada Putra Vidwat Chakra Choodamani Sri Laxminarayanacharyaru of the fourth shloka:

Datwaa Asmai Paaduke SwaeKshitibharana Krutow Preshya Tam Kaaka Netram

Vyasyaradhyo Atri Naamnaa Vanam Athha Samito Dandakam Taapasehtam 

Kurvan Hatwaa Viraadham Khala KULA Damanam Yaachitaha Taapasaagraihi

Teshaam Datwaa Abhayam SwanasiDhanurishudheenyanagastyaat Sa Paayaat

Sri Rama gave his Paadukas to Bharata and sent him back to Ayodhya. Very beautifully described only in one sentence, where as in Ramayana several pages are reserved for this. Sri Ramachandra neglected the wicked sight of Asura (KaakaNetraAsura) and completed the stay of Chitrakoota. Then they all the three proceeded to Dandakaarnya. Mean while they reached the Ashrama of Atri Rushi. Accepted the  Pooja and the kind hospitality of Munivarenya and took rest  for a few Galige. Dear Devotees one Galige means twenty minutes. Vanavaasa was not only living in the forest, but it was Dushta Shikshe Shishta Paripaalane. So many Asuras were simply crushed by Sri Ramadeva and thus destroyed all the hindrances of Yagnya Yaaga of Rushi Munis. In a way Vanavaasa was nothing but Bhaarata Sanchaara and Bhaarata Darshana to our Sri Rama. Enjoyed all the entire Punyakshetras of our Bharata Khanda and Consoled the sober satvikas and the sajjanas and thus always engaged in  the Uddhaarakaarya.

It is very important to know that the Divine Power of Blessing and Cursing and also to withdraw the power of Curse is only to Sri Hari and also to our Sri Raghavendrateertharu of Mantralaya. As Sri Rayaru is the Aaraadhaka of Sri Hari Sri MoolaRamadevaru.

Shaapaanugraha (Shaapa Anugraha) Shaktonyo Raghavendraan Na Vidyate

Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharyaru has Clarified in Gurustotra the Divine Power of Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu. Sri Avadhootaru described in the Siddhiprada Grantham SRI RAGHAVENDRATANTRA:

Yasya Yasyaasti Durdaiva Moola Nirnaashanaa Arhataa

Tasya Tasmaiva Tantre Asmin Aasthhaaha Iti Braveet Guruhu

Sri Raghavendrateertharu said to Sri Krishnavadhootaru in the dream that those Devotees who Believe that Rayaru will  completely wipe off the ill fate(Durdaiva), only such Devotees will develop interest in reading Sri RaghavendraTantra. So Mantralaya Rayaru is fully Capable to root out the Durdaiva and implant Sudaiva by the Paramaanugraha of Sri MoolaRamadevaru.
Sri Ramachaaritramanjari depicts the Devotional Perfection of our Rayaru, abundant subject matter is described only three Padapunjas. We are unable to imagine the Pratibhaa of  Sangraha of our Rayaru. Dedicated in a systematic manner in each and every work.

Jaraa Hartaa Jagat Poojyo Jayanthee Vruta Tatparaha

Jayado Jaya Kartaacha Jagat Kshema Karo Jayee

In this world only Sri Raghavendrateertharu is Capable to  remove the effects and the impact of Old age  of His Devotees. So Rayaru is Poojyaru engaged in Pranava Japa Vruta Tatpara to Bless Jaya Success to the Mantralaya Devotees. Always the Devotees will be successful as Rayaru Creates Success and the universal Chintana of Welfare of the World is the Secret of Success by the Anugraha of Sri Hari EVEN TO THIS DAY SATATA NIRATA.

Mantralaya(413), the total of 413=8 Ashtaksharee of  Mantralaya Gururarayaru as well as  Bichali Japadakatti Appanaryaru.  Devanaagari script  :  Om Sri Raghavendraaya Namaha and Om Sri Appanaryaaya Namaha.702 Sri Laxminarayana Saligramaas are on the top of the head of our Gururayaru in the Brindavana. Mantralaya  Kshetra owing to this  represnts 58 Kshetras Punya Kshetras Siddhi and Sanctity. Now I wish to share the Mahima of this 58 Punya Kshetras total sum of Siddhi of Mantralaya and the ability of our Rayaru's Devotee:

Once a devotee Prayed to Sri Raghavendrateertharu to get his great work done and in turn he will feed one lakh Brahmins. Rayaru listened the devotee's request and immediately done  the great work. The devotee wondered that how within a short span of time Rayaru sanctioned his request. Then he remembered that he has Promised that he will feed one lakh Brahmins. But it was impossible for him as had no Jana Bala and Dhana Bala. Practically it was impossible to collect  and arrange one lakh Brahmins and feed, secondly no infrastructure amenities for this great task of Laksha AnnaSantarapana. So he thought and thought and prayed to Sri Raghavendrateertharu in front of Moola Brindavana to solve his problem. Bhaktaanugraha Premi Gururayaru that day night appeared in his dream and said that one Brahmin will come to your house sharp at the time Bhojana 12.30pm. Ask your wife to Prepare all the dishes Pancha Bhaksha Paramaana and feed him alone, by feeding him  you will acquire the Punya of Feeding One Lakh Brahmins. So do not worry. Be ready for tomorrow and wait for him. As per the directions the devotee arranged everything happily and eagerly waiting for the arrival of the Brahmin. At the same time   Gururayaru appeared in the dream of  His Dear Tantrakaara Sri Krishnavadhootaru and said him to aept the Bhojana in the Sajjana's house at Mantralaya. After a long awaiting of the  arrival of the Brahmin  the devotee ame to the Sannidhaana of Rayaru's Moola Brindavana and stood praying. Krishnavadhootaru was standing at his back and seeing him Krishnavadhootaru said Come on LET US GO TO YOUR HOME FOR BHOJANA. Accepted the Bhojana happily. Thus this devotee by feeding Sri Krishnavadhootaru fulfilled the PROMISE of Feeding one lakh Brahmins.

Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha made it clear to all of us that Sri Krishnavadhootaru is equal to one lakh Brahmins. Appanaru and Avadhootaru are the Dearest Devotees of our Rayaru Antaranga Bhaktaru Aaptaru. Let us join , mix and enjoy in the Yard of Bhakti of these two Chetanas, the Devotees of Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu.

Let us honour, respect and regard our Devotees of Mantralaya Rayaru with affection. Do not differentiate between the Devotees of big and small. Enlighten ourselves in the Divine Light of Mantralaya, Sri Ramaaraadhaka Punya Murty Sri Raghavendrateertha Gururaat. Sri MoolaRamadevaru is the inspirer to our Rayaru.

Poojyaaya Sri Raghavendraaya Satya Dharma Rataayacha

Bhajataam Kalpavrukshaaya Namataam Kamadhenave

At this juncture let us remember the lines of the Sulaadi of  Uttanooru Sri
Gopaladasaru:

Kevala Nuta Jana Paavana Roopi

Sadaa Vinodi Paalaya Maam

Brindavana Mandira Paalaya Maam

Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru is engaged in the Akhanda Deergha Japa of Sri Hari in Brindavana. So Briundavana is the Mandira of  our Rayaru. The Mandira with 58 Punya Kshetras. Brindavana Mandira Please Protect Me.

Brindavana Mandira Paalaya Maam.
