Date : April 6 2012

Background

The importance of the Popular Saying of God means Tirupati Sri Venkateshwara and Guruji - Swamiji means Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu:

Devaru Yene Tirupatiya Timmappa
Gurugalu Yene Mantralaya Raghappa

The faith, belief and the devotion of the Bhaktas are described in Mantralaya(451).


Meaning

We have recently celebrated Sri RamaNavami in Mantralaya and Bichali with Bhakti and Vaibhava. Sri Ramachaaritryamanjari of Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu is a testimonial of Rama Bhakti., The greatness of Ramavatara and Sri MoolaRamadevara Mahima described by Rayaru, that too easy for Nitya Paaraayana is an unforgettable Gift to Manukula. We are highly indebted to Mantralaya Prabhuavarenyaru.

Chitrapournima is tomorrow Friday Sri Hanumat Jayanti Special Pooja to our most Sacred and Siddhiprada Sri Yantroddhaaraka Sri Praanadevaru on the bank of Tungabhadra Chakrateertha at Hampi. Maha Rathhotsava Vaibhava to Sri Rudradevaru Sri Virupakshaswami and also our Sri Panchamukhi Praanadevaru at Ganadhal near Mantralaya and Bichali. It is also important that Vasanta Pooja will commence from this day.

The strong desire of the trees and the plants to adore with green leaves and flowers had become true in this Chaitramaasa and Vaishaakhamaasa. We say it as Spring time Vasanta Rutu. Though the summer is hot and severe the whole Nature is soothing in its own style. The Jasmine and the Mangoes time to offer Alankara and Naivedya. Our Mantralaya Devotees after participating in the Pattabhisheka and Janmotsava of Rayaru in Mantralaya are now at the Sacred abode of Tirumala in large numbers. Sri Hari for the sake of the Uddhaara of all of us took the Avatara as Sri Srinivasa and Sri Venkateshwara and residing on the top of the Sacred Seven Hills. Saptagirivaasa Sri Srinivasa.

Maayaavi Paramaanandam Tyaktwaa Vaikunthham
Uttamam Swami Pushkarinee Teere Ramayaa Saha Modate

Venkatadri Samam Sthhaanam Brahmande Na Asti Kinchana
Sri Venkatesha Samodevo Na Bhooto Na Bhavishyati

Venkatadri is as Holy and Sacred as Vaikunthha. There is no  place equal to Venkatadri in this Universe. Such a Divine Kshetra is Bhoo Vaikunthha. So Lord Sri Hari for the sake of the Devotees residing with Sri Laxmidevi on the bank of Swami Pushakarinee Suvarnamukhareere. There is no God equal to Sri Venkateshwara in this Universe. The Seven Hills Satagiri is really tall in height and the grandeur look cannot be described in words. Daivatva Divinity is full and complete in all the particles of Seven Hills.

Devotees of Tirumala Pilgrims Yaatris after taking the Holy Dip, if not Holy Prokshana at Kapilateertha, they take the Darshana of Sri Kapileshwara, Sri Venugoplasawmy and Goddess Parvati. Devotees Desirous of reaching the abode of Tirumala by walk to avail the Divya Darshana of  Sri Hari, Lord Sri Venkateshwara perform the Sankalpa at the Temple of Sri Venkateshwara situated on the foothills. The Archakas will place the Sacred Swami Paadukas on our head and ask us to take Pradakshinas. With a Divine Bliss the devotees respect their elders with affection and regard. The elders simply embrace the Karula Balli with Devotional Ecstasy shedding tears and looking at the SEVEN HILLS. Bless them whole heartedly. When the Paada Yatris start Climbing of Tirumala Hills with their Eight years old son. The elders of the family senior in age will go by car to Tirumala. This is a rare unique experience of Bhakti and the Mahima of Swami Sri Narayana to the Paadayatris.At that ime they are completely surrendered to Swami Samarpitaru. Swami Sri Srinivasa likes this Seva and it is He who has inspired and ACCEPTING our humble Seva and inviting to the Punya Sannidhaana. A rare Devotional Experience to the Devotees. We find  such heart touching Scenes at the Sanctum of Alipiri - Kapilateertha at the foothills of Saptagiri.

Dear Devotees it is amazing to know the Parama Bhakti Paraakashthhate of our Sri Prahlada - Sri Baahleeka - Sri Vyasarajateertharu and Sri Vadirajateertharu climbed the Seven Hills with the knees to reach the abode of Tirumala Swami Sri Venkatesha. Saptagiri looked like Sri Sheshadevaru and like Saaligraama. So the two great holy pontiffs never touched their feet (Paada Sparsha) to the Seven hills. Simply crawled, in Kannada we say Ambegaalittu. They never walked. In this manner they climbed and reached the BhooVaikunthha, their joy knew no bonds and availed the Darushana of  the Lord of Seven Hills Sri Srinivasadevaru. Today in Tirumala we walk without any footwares to preserve and increase the Sanctity. The entire area is full of  Sanctity as our Swami has lived and  walked. SRI ANANDANILAYA the residence of Swami is nothing but Vaikunthha. At the left side of ANANDANILAYA Sri Varaahaswami Temple is situated in front of Swami Pushkarini. At one side of the bank of  Swami Pushkarini  a small  beautiful Mantapa draws our attention. We are happy to know that the Mantapa built by the Vijayanagara Emperor Sri Krishnadevaraya for the sake of his KulaGuru RajaGuru Sri Vyasarayaru for Aahneeka. This is famous and popular as the Aahneeka Mantapa of Sri Vyasarajaru. It is the most holy place where our Guruvarya was performing the Japa Aahneeka daily. It is heartening to know that Sri Vyasarajaru was performing Pranava Japa of one lakh  OM NAMO NARAYANAAYA daily at this Aahneeka Mantapa only. When we look at this Aahneeka Mantapa our memory goes back to witness the grandeur of Hampi and the  Scene of handing over  the young shishya Sri Vishnuteertharu to Sri Surendrateertharu the 14th. Pontiff of our Vidya Mutt and asked to name as Sri Vijayeendrateertharu.

Sri Vyasateertharu stayed in Hampi for a long time to guide the administration and the Pooja Kainkarya of Tirumale Swami. Right from Suprabhatam to Ekantha Seva now called as UDAYAASTAMAANA SEVA  formed the rules and the regulations in a systematic manner. The same Tradition is now continued in Tirumala. Such a great Mahaan Yatirat Gururat is our Prahlada - Baahleeka - Sri Vyasarayaru. So Kind and magnanimous that Sri Vyasarayaru never claimed that this much of noble service I have done here, never aspired nor tried to acquire the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams. Till the Vamshasthha of Archaka attained proper age Sri Vyasarayaru guided meticulously as a Seva of Sri Hari.

One more important thing of our Sri Vyasarayaru is that the Devotees after availing the Darushana of Sri Venkateshwara have to go to the Temple of Sri Hanumanthadevaru and pray Him to get our Abheeshta being fulfilled, sanctioned by Sri Srinivasa Sri Hari. We have to request to Hanumappa BEDI HANUMAPPA. Not that He is tied with a chain. We devotees are tied Maruti with our Bhakti and requesting Him not to go anywhere and always be in front of Swami and take our petitions to Sri Hari and get them sanctioned. Sri Vayudevaru is always in the Seva of Sri Hari, that too very dear to Marutirayaru. A Pontiff who has installed 732 SRI PRAANADEVARU has made this tradition and it is in vogue now. Even to this day today day and night in all he 365 days of the year Devotees after taking the Darshana of Tirumala Sri Venkateshwara Swami, they visit the temple of Sri BEDI HANUMAPPA without fail. They offer the prayers and coconuts and camphor Aarati in front of BEDI  HANUMANTHARAYA. The camphor smell, Aarati Jyoti  and sm ke ( dhooma ) will simply be touching the sky at the abode of Tirumala. To perform this holy tradition laid by Sri Vyasarayaru always there will be a big crowd at the Sannidhaana of SRI BEDI HANUMADEVARU. Really amazed to witness this and automatically we are overwhelmed with joy and devotion. Altogether our heart goes to a New Divine World. We are bent with gratitude to the kind concern of :

Sri Prahlada - Sri Baahleeka - Sri Vyasarayaru and Sri Raghavendrateertharu.

At the abode of Tirumale Hills, we find the tall and the highest place. That is very famous as VISHNUPAADA. We have to climb 72 STEPS to take the Darshana and offer the Pooja to VISHNUPAADA. The total height from SRI ANANDANILAYA is approximately more than 500 FEET. Standing on this holy place the whole  Scene of Tirumala,  Bagaara Gopura of SRI ANANDANILAYA cannot be described in words. We forget ourselves and feel that a few FEET ABOVE VAIKUNTHHA is situated. On this abode of Tirumala Bhoo Vaikunthha Sri Srinivasadevaru is kind enough to Bless and always do good  - Nitya Mangala to the devotees:

Tasmaat Venkatanathasya Bhukshesho Graahya Uttamaha
Tena Kshemam Prajaanaam Vipareete Viparyaha

We Devotees after taking Darshana of Sri Venkatanathaswami we have to accept gladly the Prasada of Swami. It is always better to accept and eat the PRASAADA of SWAMI. Do not say Madi Myalige etc. Because it is already clarified in Aditya Puraana that:

Venkatadrow Shuchi Kshetre Ashuchi Dosho Na Vidyate

At the Sannidhaana of Sri Venkataeshwara we find Shweta Dweepa - Ksheera Samudra- Anastasia - Vaikunthha, WHERE THE ABLE MUKTI YOGYAS AND SANAKAADI RUSHIVARYAS ARE THERE, So no difference of Religion and Gender. No Myalige everything is Madi Pure and Sacred.

Ananda Gnyanadam Vishnum Anandamaya Naamakam
Anandena Da Darshaa Ayam Ananda Nilaya Aalaye

Vishnu is always Ananda Gnyanadam. So with devotion I am happily seeing, taking Darshana who is residing AnandaNilaya.

So Devotees with all this we strongly Believe:

Devaru Yene Tirupatiya Timmappa
Gurugalu Yene Mantralaya Raghappa

God means Tirumale Sri Srinivasadevaru Guru means Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateerth Gurusarvabhoumaru.

Today Mantralaya Rayaru is protecting all of us not only that, with the Paramaanugraha of SRI ANANDANILAYAALAYA completely root out the Durdaiva and impart the Sudaiva. Such is the Mahima of our:

Sri Prahlada - Sri Baahleeka - Sri Vyasarayaru - Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru. So in Tirumala and Mantralaya  we always  find the Devotees crowd in all the 365 days of the year saying:

Prabho Venkatesha Raksha
Prabho Sri Raghavendra Raksha.
