Mantralaya-417

( Sri Avadhootaru's sentence in Sri RaghavendraTantra)

Date : Aug 11 2011

Background

The arrival of Aaradhana and the Mantralaya Devotees feelings and affection towards our Rayaru and the importance of Sri Avadhootaru's sentence in Sri RaghavendraTantra Yavanaadyaischa Samsevyam Vande GuruRaghavendram  Described in Mantralaya(417).


Meaning

The arrival of Shraavana Shukla Dwadashi, Trayodashi, Chaturdashi and Pournima take us back to the days of our Sri Raghavendrateertharu observing Chaaturmaasa Sankalpa at the Temple of Sri Venkateshwaraswami in Mantralaya and reminds the Sacred Routine of  our Yatiraat. After five days our Adhi Daiva  became invisible from our naked eyes and Sat for Deergha Akhanda Japa of Sri Hari  with Yoga Siddhi below the Brindavana, on the Sacred bank of Tungabhadra, the Holy Siddhi Place, where Sri Prahladarajaru performed Yaaga. When we just remind and recollect that historic, divine incident our heart simply cries for our Sri Raghavendrateertharu, tears roll from our eyes. Thus Shraavana Bahula Dwiteeya Friday Virodhikrutnaama Samvatsara August 11.1671 our Karunaalu happily Blessed and bade farewell to all, Pronouncing  Pranava Mantra loudly entered Divya Bhavya Neela Brindavana amidst the gathering of large devotees in Mantralaya. Sri Raghavendrateertha  Gurusarvabhoumaru never used the  Divine Power, Siddhi and Punya for His own sake. Distributing everything Sarvaswa to the Devotees liberally and abundantly. There is no limit and there is no end for the magnanimity of our Karunaalu Sri Ramaaraadhaka Punya Murty of our Mantralaya Rayaru.

We remember the song of Sri Vijayadasaru. Devotees please make a note :

Kaliyugadolu Kevala Kattaleya Harisuva Sobaga Santata
Yaama Yaamake Yellarige Sukha Kaamitaarthhava Kareva Gurugala
Nooru Parvata Varusha Bidadale Chaaru Vrundaavanadali Vistaara
Aaradhaneyu Aagutippudu
Mitavu Yenadiri Illi Dina Dinakatishayave Aaguvadu
Kshitiyolage Manchale Graamake Pratiyu Illavendenesikombudu
Nodidenu GuruRaghavendrara Maadidenu Bhakutiyali Vandane
Bedidenu Kondaadi Varagala Eedu Illade Koduva Gurugala

What ever the Devotees ask Rayaru fulfills abundantly and Protects affectionately. Divine Power Daivatva is abundant and Akshaya.

Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru never said that he is Superman nor utilized the Super Power Special Divine Power for his sake. Reserved Completely to the Devotees of this Universe. To obey and follow Manudharma and Yatidharma became invisible to our naked eyes, Sat below the Brindavana with Padmaasana to the Long Continuous Japa of Sri Hari - SriManNarayana. We say Deergha Akhanda Japa of Sri Hari.That too for Seven Hundred  years. Actually our Gururayaru left the famous Cultured Kumbhakonam with abundant temples in each and every corner of the City of Kumbhakonam situated on the sacred bank of Kaveri and  Came to the sacred bank of Tungabhadra Adoni with a strong Sankalpa to reside in Mantralaya. Rayau's dearest Shishya Venkanna at that time was the Diwan of Adoni Nawab Siddi Masoodkhan. Became extremely happy by the arrival of our Yatiraat. Nawab Siddi Masoodkhan came to know the Divine Power and the Divine Personality of  Sri  Raghavendrateertharu. Siddi Masoodkhan decided to leave his Islam and embrace the Hinduism. Rayaru clearly said: DO NOT LEAVE ISLAM ! FOLLOW AND PRACTICE THE RITUALS OF  ISLAM, REGULAR NAMAAZ etc. you do without fail.
That will strengthen your Faith and Nobility.

Swadharme Nidhanam Shreyam

With all that you are giving lot of Respect and Regard to me that is quite satisfactory. Nawab presented the village MANCHALE(MANTRALAYA) as per the Will and Wish of our Rayaru. Now you have do a favour that is very dear to me. It is a difficult task. Then Nawab Siddi Masoodkhan said Gururaya Please order that one do not hesitate, I will definitely complete that task within no time. Then Sri Raghavendrateertharu said to Nawab that you have to bring 700 Sri Laxminarayana Saligraamas from  Nepal they  are available in the Sacred river  GANDAKI. It is the Creation of Sri Hari. Swayambhoo in that river GANDAKI. Looking at Nawab and Diwan Venkanna Gururayaru closed the eyes and soon became Dhyaanasakta. Siddi Masood agreed. Happily said within a few weeks it will be done.

Nawab Siddi Masoodkhan asked his brother-in-law(wife's brother) to go to Nepal with his paraphernalia and bring 700 Sri Laxminarayana Saligraamas.
They soon went on horses and camels to bring 700 Saligraamas. Rayaru made it clear to the Nawab of Adoni that do not think of Purity etc. Saligramaas are always pure and full of Sanctity. No Myalige etc. You can bring on camel. So as per the Niropa of Rayaru they reached Nepal and collected not 700 but 702 so when counting the Saligramaas, Saligraamas should not fall short. When they Counted it was 702 Rayaru said Seven Hundred Saligramaasa is the  Holy Symbol that He will be Worshipping Sri Hari for 700 years as He will undertake the Deergha Akhanda Japa of Sri Hari below the Brindavana in Mantralaya.702 you have brought let us have not 700 but 702 one from Nawab Siddi Masoodkhan and the other one from Diwan Venkanna.  The extra TWO Saligramaasa are the Sri Hari Seva and Guru Seva of Siddi Masoodkhana  and  Diwan Venkanna. Saying this Rayaru smiled and looked at them. So today in Mantralaya in the Brindavana Sri Laxminarayana  Saligraamas are 702, NOT 700 NOR 1200. Siddi Masoodkhan amazed to know the mental stability, balanced thinking and the Prasannate, Sthhirate and Sthhitapragnya of our Gururayaru. So Rayaru is Sarvswa to us.

Tvameva Sarvaswa Mama Dehi Karaavalambam Guru Raghavendra
Raksha Prabho Raksha
 
Dear Devotees I  express my sincere gratitude to my friend,  whose routine is as per the Sadaachaara  of our Sri SriMadacharya teachings, a great devotee of  Mantralaya Yatiraat Sri Raghavendrateertharu, informed in detail to me that His Parama Guri RasaRushi Poojya  Sri Dwaipayanacharyaru, a great Aparokshagnyani, who lead his life  like an ascetic has told this incident of  Adoni Nawab's unforgettable gift of 700 Saligramaas to him. Though my friend knows abundant subject matter  of our Yatiraat is always behind the screen  and never aspires for name or fame, always behind the screen. In Kannada we say Yele Mareya Kaayante .Today I feel quite happy in sharing this Divine fact to all the World Devotees.

Now I quote the following Shlokas of Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharya'sGurustotra       Sri Raghavendra Stotra and  of  Sondur Sri Krishnavadhootaru's Sri RaghavendraTantra

Sri Hariya Avaasa Sri Hari Sri Vayu Sri Guru Avaasa in Mantralaya Bhavya Divya Neela Brindavana in Mantralaya.

SarvaYaatraa PhalaavaaptaiYathha Shakti Pradakshinam
Karomi TavaSiddhasyaVrundavanagatam Jatam
Shirasaa Dhaaraami Adya Sarva Teerthha Phalaaptae
Sarvaabheeshthharthha Siddhyarthham Namaskaram Karomyham

Devotees who perform the Pradakshina Seva Yathha Shakti - Yathha Bhakti will attain and acquire the Punya of all the Teerthha Yaatras. Owing to the stay of our Gururayaru in Mantralaya below the Brindavana with Yoga Siddhi. Sri Raghavendrateertharu is Quite Comfortable as Vayudevaru's  Sannidhaana is there:

Yaavat Pavanam Vasati Dehe
Taavat Pruchchayati Kushalam Gehe

The House of Mantralaya is full of Kushala, everything is fine and auspicious. Gehe means House. In Mantralaya Rayara Brindavana   we find the Sanctum - Siddhi and the Punya of not one Teerthha Kshetra but of 58 Punya Teerthha Kshetras. Where we find the 12 Saligramaas of the same type, will be called as one Kshetra. Where as in Mantralaya the Rayara Brindavana contains 702 Sri Laxminarayana Saligramaasa, so we are highly fortunate to have a total sum of  58 Punyakshetra Teerthha Kshetra. So in Gurustotra Appanacharya  has rightly said in the above Shloka. Brindavana Abhisheka Jala Prokshana on our body and head will result the Punya of the holy dip of all the Holy Teerthhas.

Tava Sankeertanam Veda Shaastraarthha Gnyana Siddhayae

By the Pathhana of Rayara Naama OM SRI RAGHAVENDRAAYA NAMAHA  and MANTRALAYA, MANTRALAYA we devotees acquire the Gnyana of Veda Shaastra and also understand the meaning of Vedas and  Shaastras.

Sarvaabheeshthharthha Siddhyarthham Namaskaram Karomyham

Such is the  Siddhi, Punya and Divine Power of our  Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru.

Gururaat Raghavendrasya Ekaikasmin Pradakshine
Sapta Dweepa Mahee Yaatraa Phalam Vindati Maanavaha

Sri Krishnavadhootaru has said the same thing: Devotees who  Perform even a single Pradakshina Seva with devotion will acquire the Punya of Sapta Dweepa Mahee Yaatraa it means the Punya of all the Teertha Kshetras on this Earth encircled by seven oceans.

One thing is quite clear that the Seva of the Nawab of Adoni Siddi Masoodkhan is unforgettable in the pages of history.

Yathhaa Shaktihi Yathhaa Bhaktihi Sevakaanaam Phalapradam
Yavanaadyaischa Samsvyam Vande Guru Raghavendram

As per our Shakti and Bhakti we Perform the Seva and Sri Raghavendrateertharu impart the Phala as per our Seva. Further Sri Krishnavadhootaru Clarified that our Gururayaru accepts the SEVA EVEN FROM THE MUSLIMS:

Yavanaadyaischa Samsvyam Vande Guru Raghavendram

The Universal outlook and  the Universal Harmony of our  Mantralaya Yatiraat Gururaat Sri Raghavendrateertharu is a model to the whole world.

The  world will never forget the Greatest Contribution of  Siddi Masoodkhan, the Nawab of Adoni as he Presented:

1.  Manchale (Mantralaya)
2. SEVEN HUNDRED SRI LAXMINARAYANA SALIGRAMAAS.
