The Greatness of Mantralaya Sri Rayaru's Devotees and the kind concern and the affection of our Rayaru are described in Mantralaya(416).



Meaning


The details of Mantralaya Devotees are really Punyaprada. We are amazed to know the abundant Siddhi and the Kind Concern of Uddhaara. Bichali Japadakatti Appanacharya, Ibharamapura Krishnarya - Appavaru and Sri Sondur Krishnavadhootaru.

Sri Krishnavadhootaru did the Tapa seriously at Hampi on the bank of Tungabhadra in the Shambhunatha Cave and attained the Pratyaksha Darshana and the Anugraha of Rayaru for Sri RaghavendraTantra. These places are the Holy Yaatra Kshetras.  Mantralaya a very Sacred Siddhi Punya Kshetra. It is here where Sri Prahladarajaru ( Sri Raghavendrateertharu ) performed Yaaga. Sri Vibudhendrateertharu's Tapobhoomi is Mantralaya.

The near by Places of Mantralaya Panchamukhi, Lachamaari, further on the bank of Tungabhadra  Hampi Sri Rudradevaru - Sri Virupakshaswami, Yantroddharaswami near Chakrateertha, Anegundi - Navavrundavana are all the Punyakshetras to attain the Divine Anugraha of Sri HariVayuGuru. 

Ibharamapura is only ten kilometres from Mantralaya. Sri Ramadeva in Tretaayuga at the time of Ramaavataara came to this village sitting on the Elephant . In Sankrit Ibha means Elephant. As a remembrance of this great incident the village is called as Ibharamapura. Now it is pronounced by the common people as Ibrahimpur, Khairwadi is too near on the bank of Tungabhadra.

Sri Ahobalacharya(Obalaacharya) and Krishnabai a Satvika and Noble couple lived in Ibharamapura doing Adhyayana and Adhyaapana. Pourohitya of all the near by villages doing sincerely as per Sadaachaara. They did not have Santana for a long time. Finally the couple came to Gaanadhaalu and did the Seva of Sri Panchamukhi Praanadevaru. Then they got a male child named as Krishna - Krishnacharya - Krishna - Appa.

Ibharamapura Appa is born by the Anugraha of  Sri Panchamukhi Praanadevaru. Much has been described about Ibharamapura in the Mantralaya Series in 25 Series. Devotees have already in acquaintance of our Ibharamapura Appa. Owing to the Aaradhana  a noble remembrance of Punya Chetana a Samsarane. In Childhood only Krishnarya has been fully Blessed by our great Chiranjeevi Sri Ashwathamacharyaru, Son of  Vidya Guru of KuruPandavas  Sri Dronacharya Attained Divyaanugraha, Gnyaana Paanditya and Aparokshagnyana. Married a pious girl Achchamma and accepted Gruhashthhaashrama, but the bright light of Adhyatma filled his heart completely and became a Great Mahima Chetana as Ibharamapura Appa. It is quite interesting to know that Appa has done the Mangala as many times as possible of Sudha Paaraayana, Pathhana, Paathha and Pravachana. Owing to this SUDHA Appa was always smelling with fragrance. If Appa has come in the dream of a devotee during night that room  will be full of fragrance. A great Philosopher of our  adhwa Philosophy, but never exhibited nor did any Prachaara. Appa's Mahima made him a great Mahan Chetana  A great and a staunch Devotee of Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu.

Daily Appa used to go to Mantralaya riding his horse. Horse riding Appa liked. Never strained and never felt the distance between Ibharamapura and Mantralaya. Mantralaya became too near and Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru became too dear to our Ibharamapura Appa. In Mantralaya Appa took care of the Devotees who were staying  to perform Sankalpa Seva. Purchased a house in Mantralaya which is very near to the Temple of Sri Venkateshwara Swami and made arrangements to reside and as well as for meals. As already described Sri Raghavendrateertharu is Bhaktaanugraha Premi. Rayaru highly pleased towards Appa as Appa's Kind Concern to the Sevaarthhis was to the maximum extent. One day if Appa was not coming to Mantralaya, Rayaru himself was going to Ibharamapura to See Appa. So Mantralaya  Sri Raghavendrateertharu and the Devotees of Rayaru Appa developed abundant affection and attachment. Devotees Respected and Regarded Appa, used to share their  happiness and sorrows and found solutions through Appa. Appa was a great Devotee, Siddha Sankalpa, Vaak Siddhi, Vaakshuddhi. What ever Ibharamapura Appa has told, they have become true.

As usual one day during  the Chaaturmaasa - Shraavanamaasa Appa Came to Mantralaya, after  availing the Darshana of our Rayara Divya Brindavana, Appa was sitting in the Praakaara. Devotees were all coming and respecting Appa and the usual  interaction of Yogakshema was in progress.

At that time a Pandit of Mantralaya by name Sri Ganeshacharya also Came and did Namaskara that too Saashtanga. Appa looked at Sri Ganeshacharya with a smile and Said, Ganeshacharya today you are Saluting me, From tomorrow onwards I will have to Salute you. All those who heard this did not think much about this.

That day night Sri Ganeshacharya received a Telegram from Sri Sugnyanendrateertharu of Nanjangudu TO START IMMEDIATELY TO NANJANAGUDU. In those days communication facility was not ample, only Telegram was popular. So Ganeshacharya  hurriedly went to Nanjanagudu, came to know that Sri Sugnyanendrateertharu the 29th. Pontiff was too ill.  Sri Sugnyanendrateertharu a great Devotee of Sri Raghavendrateertharu. Desired to have his Brindavana in Mantralaya. But it was high time. So attained Haripaada in Nanjanagudu only after making Sri Ganeshacharya as his Successor and named as Sri Sudharmendrateertharu the 30th. Pontiff of our Acharya Parampara Vidya Mutt. It is very interesting to know that Sri Sudharmendrateertharu's Brindavana is in Mantralaya at the Sannidhaana of Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru.

When Sri Sudharmendrateertharu returned from Nanjangudu  to Mantralaya as the Pontiff  of SRSMutt the Devotees in  Mantralaya gathered to the Darshana of the new Swamiji and to receive  PhalaMantrakshate. Ibharamapura Appa also came there and met Sri Sudharmendrateertharu. Looking at Appa Swamiji smiled, Appavare your wordings became true.

That day night itself I went to Nanjanagudu and Sri Sugnyanendrateertharu gave Ashrama owing to the serious condition and attained Haripaada. Now I am here with you as Sudharmendrateertharu the 30th. Pontiff of our VidyaMutt. Appa you are Siddha Sankalpa and Vaak Siddhi Maha Chetana by the Anugraha of our Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru.Rayaru is popular as Bhaktaanugraha Premi:

Bhaktanugraha Premi Sarvatra Sarva Kaaryeshu Jaya Pradaata
Tvameva Sarvaswa Mama Dehi Karaavalambam
GuruRaghavendra Tvameva Mama Sri Raghavendra Gayatri
Adya Japtuhu Raksha Prabho Raksha


There is no limit nor the boundary to the affection of our Karunaalu Mantralaya Sri RaghavendraGurusarvabhoumaru towards His Devotees. Those who Believed are benefitted always.

Iti KaalaTraye Nityam Praarthhanaam Yaha Karoti Saha
Ihaam Uttaraapta Sarveshto Modate Na Atra Samshayaha

Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharyaru has already said in Sri Raghavendra Gurustotra. Those who pray to Rayaru with devotion daily three times with pure heart and mind Rayaru will do the best here in this Loka and also in the other world.

To quote the wordings of  our Kosigi Sri GuruJagannathadasaru :

NAMBI KETTAVARILLAVO EE GURUGUALA

Ibharamapura Appavaru attained the highest Siddhi owing to the Anugraha of our Mantralaya Rayaru and helped the poor, ailing and even gave the eye sight to the blind by birth. So world devotees please respect and regard our Mantralaya Rayaru's Devotees and attain everything in life. So on this Aaradhana Day of Ibharamapura Appa let us make the Sankalpa that we will not hurt the feelings of the  Rayara Devotees. Dedicated Devotees, as they  are very Dear to our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu.

When the Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu's Bhaktas ParamaBhaktas have this Miraculous Power means what about our Mantralaya Rayaru? Cannot Imagine the Daivee Shakti and the  Agamy Mahima!

Sri Raghavendra Chittagnyam Saara Maatra Vadaavadam
Dooreekruta Duraachaaram Krishnacharya Gurum Bhaje
Sri Chakrapaani has Composed this Shloka on Appa. Very meaningful. Appa knows the heart of Rayaru. Capable of  removing all the misconduct and misdeeds.
Dooreekruta Duraachaaram

Let us propitiate such a great Guru Appavaru.. YogiNarayanacharya Aapta Shishya of Ibharamapura Appa. In Gadag Yogi Narayanacharya personally saw with his own eyes the opening of the locks automatically of the doors of Sri VeeraNarayanaSwami. Amazed to the Divine Power of Ibharamapura Appa, surrendered  to Appa and followed Appa on the same day along with Ibharamapura Appa. Such is the Divine Power of our Mantralaya Rayara Devotees.
