Meaning

Today Thursday Phalguna Amavasya the last day of Khara Naama Samvatsara. Experienced several variations of ups and downs through out the year but everything went on well ( Mangalakara) by the Anugraha of Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu. We are highly grateful to our Mantralaya Rayaru:

Poojyaaya Raghavendraaya Satya Dharma Rataayacha
Bhajataam Kalpavrukshaaya Namataam Kamadhenave
Aapaada Mouli Paryantaam Gurunaam Aakrutim Smaret
Tena Vighnaaha Pranashyanti Siddhyanti Cha Manorathhaaha

Rayaru is Sacred , Holy, Respected  and Worshipped by all  Poojyaaya Raghavendraaya always followed the right path Satya Dharma Rataayacha.
Devotees have experienced and experiencing that Sri GuruRaghavendrateertharu is Kalpavruksha, Kamadhenu, what all we desire we will aspire by Rayaru. Let us fill in our heart with Bhakti and  remember the Divine Personality of our Kind Yatiraat from top to the bottom, all the obstacles will  soon be cleared and our Desires will be fulfilled. Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharya has rightly described and concluded the Gurustotra which is popular and famous as STOTRARAJA. Such a great Gururaat Yatiraat is engaged in the Uddhaara of Manukula as Kamadhenu and Kalpavruksha. Today is the last day of the KharaNaama Samvatsara. Elaborate preparations are in progress to welcome the New Year New Samvatsara NandanaNaama Samvatsara. We the Devotees of Mantralaya Pray to our Rayaru that  this Nandana Samvatsara blossom our life  with happiness, peace and prosperity. Mantralaya today is meticulous in all respects blossomed like the Nandavana and providing all the facilities to the devotees. Our Mantralaya devotees are not one or two but many. Spread through out the world (A Sethu Himachaladaache) that too following the Sadaachaara of Sri Anandateertha Bhagavatpadaacharyaru and guiding us properly. Their Guidance is like a torch light to lead us to the right path.

MANTRALAYA SERIES WISHING YOU ALL A HAPPY UGADI  to all the devotees I wish to share the details of Janma Vruttaanta of  the Mantralaya Series. My heart desired to describe the glory of  Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu to the world devotees. Not because that they do not know, but because to know in detail about our Universal Saint and acquire the Anugraha  so described and tried to impress the abundant subject matter  about our Rayaru. That too in the simple English language. I am not a scholar of English nor a Sudha Pandit, a Devotee of Devotees. Ordinary common man. The Prerana is by our Rayaru that time I was in America(west coast), San-Diego on the bank of Pacific Ocean. My two Grandsons Purna and Vishrut running 9 Months and 6 Months. Started writing poems in Kannada Spontaneously  and then translating into English. The translation task is not of mine, it is of Rayaru. Thus started on Thursday and continued every Thursday. Never aspired  anything neither praise nor any puraskaara. Only for the satisfaction of my heart the Series came forward and reached the doors of the Devotees of the world through the Divine Website IGR and IGRU. I express my deep sense of gratitude that the webmaster offered me a Golden Opportunity to be with you all, a better platform of Bhakti to attain the Anugraha of Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu. My sons, Devotees, Mantralaya Relations encouraged and Rayaru Blessed me. Rayaru is so kind that since more than EIGHT YEARS EVERY THURSDAY ACCEPTING THE MANTRALAYA SERIES WITHOUT A BRAKE.

Devotees What more is required than this?  The Mantralaya Series started and today it is Mantralaya (449). My Praana Pakshi simply flies with joy in Mantralaya always  and completely Surrendered to  our Yatiraat Sri GuruRaghavendrateertharu who is engaged in the Akhanda Deergha Japa of Sri Hari below the Brindavana. It is Rayaru who is contuing the Series and I have a strong desire to offer a Tulasi Maala of 1008 MANTRALAYA SERIES and believe that Rayaru Accept the TULASI MAALA OF 1008. One Januma is not sufficient to describe about our Rayaru. Mine is only a Preface to share the glory of Mantralaya Yatirajaru who is engaged in the Uddhaara of Manukula:

SARVE JANAAHAA SUKHINO  BHAVANTU WISHING A HAPPY UGADI TO ALL.

The Affection and the Anugraha of  Mantralaya Rayaru is highly essential to us always. Sri Raghavendrateertharu's greatest devotee Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanaryaru has described in the 21st. Shloka:

Sarvaabheshtaarthha Siddhyarthham Namskaram Karomyaham
Tava Sankeertanam Veda Shaastraarthha Gnyana Siddhaye

I am here by Performing the Saashtaanga Namaskara, I have completely surrendered to you Gururaya, Kindly fulfill all my Desires. Anyathhaa Sharanam Naasti. You are Sarvswa:

Bhaktaanugraha Premi Sarvatra Sarva Karyeshu Jaya Pradaata
Tvameva Sarvswa Mama Dehi Karavaalambam Guru Raghavendra.

Please protect me, fulfill my desires. Sondur Sri Krishnavadhootaru said the same thing.

Paapeenaam Agraganyoham Dayaloonaam Tvamaagraneehee
Tvaam Vinaa Nahi Jaanena Anyam Maam Adya Uddhaara Kaaranam

I know only you Gururaya as you are here to my Uddhaara. I am not a Sudha Pandit nor a great scholar. I only know to say and perform the Pathhana of :


OM SRI RAGHAVENDRAAYA NAMAHA

This Pathhana will impart the knowledge of Vedas and the Shastras. So Complete Surrendering with Belief and Bhakti  is very important, as our Senior Hyderabad Devotee always quotes. Tomorrow the very next day we will witness the dawn of the New Year New Samvatsara NandanaNaama Samvatsara.
Nanda Gopi's Sri Krishna Paramatma is taking round in Mantralaya playing the golden flute around is visible to our Rayaru. Remember Such a Great Gururaat on this day early morning and come out of our houses, welcome the Cool breeze which is abundantly available in Nature. Our Sri Vyasarajaru has described in Hampi Sri Yantroddhaaraka  Stotra:

Tungambodhi Tarangasya Vaatena Parishobhite

It is the season for Mangoes and Jasmine Maavu Mallige. Satvikas are happy to perform the Pooja with the Jasmine flowers and Mango fruits for Naivedya. It is quite interesting to know that there are thousands and thousands of Tulasi plants around the house of a Devotee of Mantralaya at the back yard and  at the front yard. This Abundant Tulasi Darushana itself is the Holy Worship of Sri Laxminarayana, Sri Yantroddharaswami and Mantralaya Sri GuruRaghavendrateertharu and the Smarane of  Punya Sannidhi. On this day of Ugadi the Sajjanas go their nearest garden  to see the auspicious bird (Shakuna Pakshi). Hours together they awaiting is not all bothered. With the golden colour wings  the bird will be flying hither and thither. The Shakuna Pakshi  Darshana on this auspicious day is very important. We even say as Yugapurusha to this bird. In Kannada we call as Sambaara Kaage. Dear Mantralaya Devotees please be confident and Believe our Mantralaya Sri  GuruRaghavendrateertharu. The great Devotee of Mantralaya Rayaru Kosigi Sri GuruJagannathadasaru  has rightly said:

NAMBI KETTAVARILLAVO   EE  GURUGALA

It is quite heartening to know that how our Dwaita Yativaryas have given importance to this world and to our life. Sri Vyasateetrha Yatiraat Gururaat has told in a Shloka the Essence of Dwaita Philosphy.

Sri ManMadhwaMate Harihi Parataraha Satyam Jagat Tatvato

The same theme is described in a poem in Kannada:

Baalidu  Kanasalla
Golina  Tinisalla
Nanni Higgina Hosa Thota

On this day of Ugadi Nava  Manvantara  Nava Mantralaya is   complete in the
developmental activities  in  providing the New and the latest facilities to the Devotees of Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru. We have a great solace that Daivee Chetana Gururaya is for the sake of our Uddhaara residing in Mantralaya:

Mouna Vruta Priyo Mounee Mantralaya Krutaalayaha
Maangalya Beeja Mahima Mandito Mangalapradaha

On this day of Ugadi the most Sacred and Punya Karya is to perform the Pathhana of this Shloka ! What more is required than this to us. We are sure to be Blessed by Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru.
