Dear Devotees I wish to describe the Divine Great Personality of our

Sri Prahlada - Sri Baahleeka - Sri Vyasaraja- Sri Raghavendrateertharu ( in the next Janma).

Arthha Kalpita Kalpoyam Gaja Kesari
Vyasateertha Guruhu Bhooyaat Asmdishtaarthha Siddhaye

Madhwa Bhakto Vyasa Shishya Purnapragnya Mataanugaha
Vyasaraja Muni Shreshthha Paatu Naha Krupayaa Guruhu

In debate Vaada and Vivaada Sri Vyasarajaru was a terror. He was always looked like a lion to face the elephant. PRATYARTHHA GAJAKESARI. Very dear to our Acharyaru Acharya Sri Madhwaru who has attained the complete affection of Sri Vedavyasadevaru. Proclaimed the Essence of Dwaita Philosophy to the world. We Pray that Such a great Yatiraat Gururaat always protect us. Today as our Chandrikacharyaru adorned the throne of Vijayanagara to mark this unforgettable historic incident we call with great respect and regard as Sri Vyasarajaru and Sri Vyasarayaru though he was Sri Vyasateertha Yativarenyaru. Sri Vyasateertharu was born in the village Bannur to Sri Ramacharyaru a Satvika Vipra of Kashyapa Gotra. Sri Ramacharya the Poorvashrama father. Listened the advice of our great Sri Brahmanyateertharu and took all the care that the child will be born without touching the land Bhoo Sparsha.

Born in the Golden big plate given by Sri Brahmanyateertharu On Sunday Adhika Vaishaakha Shuddha Saptami April 22nd.1447 A.D. Swamiji himself took the child to his custody. complete care and Protection was taken by the Mutt. Asked Sri Sripadarajaru to educate the child and make him as your successor. Sri Vyasateertharu became a great scholar under the able guidance of Sri Sripadarajaru. Attained name and fame. Once an Adwaita Scholar from Kanchi came to Sri Vyasarayaru and invited for the debate. In the debate Sri Vyasarayaru won. The the the Kanchi Pandit asked Sri Vyasarayaru to describe the complete Essence of Dwaita that too in a single shloka. Sri Vyasarayaru readily agreed. Through Aashukavitva said the following Shloka:

Sri ManMadhwaMate Harihi Parataraha Satyam Jagat Tatvato
Bhedo Jeeva Ganaa Hareranucharaha NeechocchaBhaavamgataa
Muktihi Naija Sukhaanubhootihi Amalaa Bhaktihi Tat Saadhanam
Hrukshaadi Tratayam Pramaanamkhilamnaayaika Vedyo Harihi

Sri Hari is the Sarvswa to our Madhwa Mata. This world is true.

When the scholars come for debate Sri Vyasarajaru generally warmly welcomed them and with a cool mind and profound scholar participated in Vaada Vivaada. Always the Swamiji will entrust and encourage the Pandits of the Mutt to hold the discussions of debate. If necessity prevailed then only Sri Vyasarajaru will participate. We have no words to describe the magnanimity of our Sri Vyasarajaru. Treated well, honoured even they were defeated in the debate Vaada. Never looked them as the opponents and the enemies. Sri Vyasarajaru spent more than half a century at the Sanctum of Hampi. The whole environment of Hampi and Anegundi is very dear and quite familiar. The breath of our Sri Vyasarajaru was fully mixed in each and every particle of Hampi. The hilly mountain region, the innumerable and unforgettable Structures of Hampi, the forceful flow of Tungabhadra and even the Maruta the blowing wind was quite soothing and pleasing to Sri Vyasarayaru:

Tungambodhi Tarangasya Vaatena Parishobhite

We are actually amazed to know the Creative Capacity of our Sri Vyasateertharu. So long as the Sun and the Moon are there the name of Sri Vyasarajaru will shine like a star and always remembered with Gratitude.

It is important to know that Sri Vyasarajaru propagated Sri Harisarvottamatva and Vayujeevottamatva in a unique pattern. Completed the noble task of Pratishthhaapana of our Sri Praanadevaru - Sri Hanumanthadevaru - Sri Maruti not one or two but 732.We find yoday all of them mostly on the Sacred bank of Tungabhadra river. This great Punyakarya Holy Mega Project started from the pratishthhaapana of Sri Yantroddhaaraka Praanadevaru at Chakrateertha on the bank of Tungabhadra in Hampi. Swamiji will draw the sketch of Sri Hanumadeva with the ash (Angaara) of Pavamaana Homa with great devotion. The Siddhi of this great Yatiraat is nothing but the Complete Anugraha of Sri Hari that the sketch drawn by our Sri Vyasarajaru had become permanent. A Successful, meaningful (Saarthhaka Baduku) life of Sri Vyasarajaru is a record in the history. Na Bhooto Na Bhavishyati. Lived for 92 Years. Then slowly entrusted the responsibilities of the Mutt, the Vidyapeethha to his successor Sri Govindavodeyaru. Decided to join the Lotus Feet of Sri Hari at the island of Anegundi( today we call it as Navavrundavana). Right from Phalguna Shukla Pournima the Pontiff Sri Vyasarajaru stayed in Anegundi Island near the Brindavana of the dearest Shishya of Acharya Sri Madhwaru - Sri Padmanabhateertharu and engaged in the Pranava Mantra of Om Namo Narayanaaya Om Namo Narayanaaya, Vijayanagara Emperor King Achyutraya followed Rajaguru for Seva. Aparokshagnyani Sri Purandaradasaru knew that Sri Vyasarajaru has started the last sanchara to Vaikunthha. As all were busy in the morning schedule at Anegundi, sitting with Padmaasana the Pranava Mantra Pathhana of Sri Vyasarajaru stopped. The sorrow of Sri Purandaradasaru knew no bonds. Burst into tears.

Chittaisida Vyasaraya Chittajanayyana Manege
Mukta Muttaideyarella Ratnadaarati Yette
Vilambi Samvatsara Vijayanagaradali
Phalguna Bahula Chaturthhi Sthhiravaaradi
Belagappa Jaavadali Kulita Padmaasanadi
Nalinaaksha Narayananendu Kai Mugidu
