Mantralaya-454

(Importance of Akshayatrateeya and Mangalaacharana Shloka of Sri Laxminarayanacharyaru)

Date : April 26 2012

Background

Dear Devotees: Namaskara.

Vaishaakha Shukla Trateeya is Akshayatrateeya. Gandha Lepana to Sri Hari Vayu Guru  on this Holy day is the main feature of this Akshayatrateeya.

The importance of Akshayatrateeya and the remaining Shlokas of Mangalacharana by our Vykhyaanakara Vidwat Chakra Choodamani Sri Laxminarayanacharyaru and the abundant Kaarunya of our Mantralaya Rayaru are described in Mantralaya(454).

Meaning

On the auspicious day of Vaishaakha Shukla Trateeya Akshayatrateeya Gandha Lepana to all the Yativarenyas Brindavana on the sacred bank of Tungabhadra in Mantralaya Punya Siddhi Kshetra along with our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Guruvarenyaru. The whole surrounding of Shree Matha Vidya Matha will be full of fragrance with sandal oil and rich ingredients of perfumes. This Vaibhava is conveying the Divine Message about our Kind Yatiraat Sri Raghavendrateertharu's mode of protecting the world devotees with great affection and concern. What little Seva, Pooja, Alankara, Japa we perform and offer on this day of Akshayatrateeya to Sri Hari Vayu Gurugalu will yield abundant endless AKSHAYA PUNYA PHALA. This is the real meaning of the Aacharana of Akshayatrateeya. Daana as per the Rutamaana (summer season) we have to do that will fetch great  good results to the Satvikas and the Devotees. Whatever may be the mode of Devotional activity that will become Akshaya, Vruddhi, Shuddhi and Siddhi by the Anugraha of our Bhaktaanugraha Premi Mantralaya Rayaru.

It is ridiculous to see that many are highly busy in purchasing Gold on this auspicious day of Akshaya Trateeya, even by taking loan. That Gold will become Akshaya on this day of Akshaya Trateeya. Daana of Belekosambari (Wet Daal), Paanaka(Juice), Cool water to drink, Beesanike a fan and Gandha Daana are of the main features of this festival. For Naivedya and Hastodaka, Chitranna, Dadhyanna, Hayagreeva and Bisi Uppinakayi are offered. Owing to the Rutumaana the Samarpana is of great value. For all this we say Vasanta Pooja, Vasantotsava. It is important to know that Sri Hari took Dashaavatara for our Uddhaara and Dushta Mardana. Sri Parashurama Jayanti of  Lord Narayana Sri Hari is also on this auspicious day of Akshayatrateeya. Sri Parashuramadeva took Avatara in the womb of Renukadevi and Maharshi Sri Jamadagni. Holding the Parashu Sri Hari destroyed the Ahankara of the Kshatriyas who were troubling the Satvikas  and Protected the Sajjanas. We  here by offer our Saashtanga Namaskara to Sri Hari and give Argya at the Pradoshakaala that means evening:

Jamagadgni Suto Veera Kshatriyantakara Prabho
Gruhanaarghya Mayaa Dattam Krupayaa Sweekara Prabho

Our Tirumala Tirupati Sri Srinivasadevaru married to Padmavati on the auspicious day of Vaishaakha Shukla Dashami in Narayanapura. On Chaitra Shukla Trayodashi King Aakasharaja requested Sri Bruhaspati to write a letter informing that Aakasharaja and Dharanidevi are pleased to accept Sri Srinivasa as their Son-in-law and further requested the Lord Sri Venkateshwara to accept Padmavati as his bride. Sent this auspicious Letter through Shukamuni. Tirumala Swami Srinivas and Padmavati wedding took place on Friday Vaishaakha Shukla Dashami. As a Sacred Remembrance  Samsarane in our Vidya Mutt Sri Venkateshwara Mahatmye  Purana began on this day of Akshayatrateeya for a period of two weeks.

Dear Mantralaya Devotees to enjoy all this our Satvikas are unwilling to miss even a Single day's Suryodaya and Suryasta in all the 365 days of the year and try to achieve Siddhi which is Punyaprada and thus lead a meaningful life (Saarthhaka Baduku). Our Parama Bandhu Guru Father and Well wisher, Daivee Chetana Sri Raghavendrateertha Maha Mahimaru belongs to this category. The Granthha Rachane of our Karunaalu completely followed the guidelines of Sri Vijayeendrateertha and Sri Sudheendrateertha Yativarenyaru. We are greatly indebted to our Mantralaya Gururayaru for the meticulous Contribution  of Granthha Rachana. Let us look into the Mangalaacharana Shloka of the Vyakhyana by Sri VidwatChakraChoodamani Sri Laxminarayanacharyaru:

Pada Vaakya PramaanGnyan Sarva Shaastra Vishaaradaan
Raghavendra Guroon Vande Vaadi Kantheeravaan Sadaa

Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru's abundant extraordinary knowledge of Vyakarana, Tarka(Logic),Meemaamse( Criticism) and the way of presenting the Poorva Meemaamsa and Uttara Meemaamsa that too with actual facts Pramaana Gnyana cannot be excelled by any one. Like a lion pounces on an elephant

Raghavendra Guroon Vande Vaadi Kantheeravaan Sadaa

Sri Shreepadaputraru says I here by Regard offer Saashtanga Namaskara to sauch a great Panditottama and Pratibhapurna Guruvarya, at the beginning of the Vyakhyana.

Laxminarayanaakhyoham Guru Paada Prasadataha
Vivranomi Yathhaa Bodham Krishnachaaritramanjareem

I Laxminarayanacharya by the Paadaanugraha of Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvaryaru Put forth my efforts to simplify and describe the most concise form of the Mahakavya of our Rayaru's Sri Krishnachaaritramanjari with appropriate words so that our Devotees understand properly. One more interesting thing is that right from childhood  the author of  Vykhyanakara Sri Laxminarayanacharya brought up in the holy Mutt amidst the atmosphere of the Scholars of Shuddha Satvika Vinaya Vidya Sampannas.

After all the Poorvashrama father Sri Venkatanathacharyaru, Gouthama Gotra, Shaashthheeka Vamsha, Beegamudre family. It is strongly believed that Sri Laxminarayanacharya was none but the Son of Uddhalaka Rushi by name Shwetaketu, Took Avatara in the Punya Garbha of Saraswatamma and Sri Venkatanathacharyaru.

We feel that it is almost like the incarnation of a Divine Messenger for the Prasaara and the Saakshaatkara of Sri Harisarvottama and Sri Vayujeevoittama. What more is required to the Devotees of Mantralaya.  Sri Raghavendrateertharu believed that Sri Laxmipati Narayana is our God. Sri Vayudevaru is our Gurugalu. The rich Vyakhyaana of Vidwat Chakra Choodamani Sri Laxminarayanacharyaru is an asset of great value to all of us. We can say Akshaya Aasti. But still pleads that I have written Vykhyana as per my little knowledge and ability by the Anugraha of Sri Raghavendrateertharu. It is for the lovers, the patrons of Saaraswata Premi to accept the Vyakhyana.

We are really Fortunate that Sri Laxminarayanacharya's Son is Sri Purushottamacharya.  Sri Purushottamacharya's Son Sri Srinivasacharya that means the grandson of Acharya ShreepadaPutra Laxminarayanacharya and the great grandson of our Gururayaru the 22nd.Pontiff - Paramahamsacharyaru  Sri Vadeendrateertharu, Brindavana is by the side of our Rayaru in  Mantralaya. We are highly grateful to Sri Laxminarayanacharyaru for the meticulous Vykhyana as the world has completely given the heart to the Concise imagination of Sri Krishnachaaritramanjari to our Rayaru. This CONCISE is nothing but the VISHWAROOPA DARSHANA of  Sri Hari by a great Bhaagavatottamaru our Mantralaya Rayaru..

Devotees please go through :

Sarva Mangala Maangalyam Sarva Taapa Pranaashanam
Sarva Roga Prashamanam Aayur Vardhanam Uttamam

Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru always Blesses the Mangala good and soothing to the devotees, Sarva Taapa Pranaashanam Adhyatmika - Aadi Daivika - Aadi Bhoutika  Taapas will be removed by Rayaru at the sametime free from all the diseases and we will attain Deerghaayu by the Anugraha of  Rayaru.

Yogaanandakaram Gnyana Bhakti Vairaagyadaayakam
Bhoota Preta Pishchogra BrahmaRaakshasaNaashanam

We acquire by the Anugraha of Mantralaya Yatiraat Yoga, Ananda, Gnyana Bhakti and Vairagya. We will be protected from the effects of Bhoota, Preta, Pishachi, Vamaachaara, Vasheekarana, Sammoha  and even from the jaws of Ugra Brahma Raakshasas. The only Paramahamsaru in this universe  to Protect the Devotees and to do the Uddhaara is our Mantralaya Karunaalu Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru. Blessed we are. Our Pranams to Manchali Sri Gururayaru on this auspicious day of Akshaya Trateeya:

Gururaat Raghavendrasya Ekaikasmin Pradakshine
Sapta Dweepa Mahee Yaatra Phalam Vindati Maanavaha.

With Devotion even a Pradakshina to our Rayara Brindavana in Mantralaya we are sure to get the Samsta Yaatraa Punya Phala Samsta means Sapta Dweepa Mahee Yaatra Our Punya Bhoomi Bharat our Motherland.
