Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu fulfills the desires of the Devotees. By the Anugraha of Rayaru we own house, gold ornaments, finest clothes, GoVatsa Ksheera in plenty and we find always happiness and peace in home. This is how our Yatiraat takes care of His Devotees unconditionally. Finally imparts Mukti.

MANTRALAYA PRABHO GURU RAGHAVENDRA TAVA BHAKTAAHAA
VASATI DOORA VIDESHE SARVA VIKOPAAT SADAA RAKSHA
DAYANIDHE ITI AHAM PRAARTHHAYAMI TAVA KINKARAHA.

The last line of the 6th.Shloka of Sri Krishnachaaritramanjari and the unique style of describing Sri Harisarvottama are described in Mantralaya(481).

Meaning

We have just performed the Navaratri Nandadeepotsava of our Kulaswami and anxiously waiting to welcome the Karteeka Deepotsava, Sri Mahalaxmi Pooja and the delighting of lights. Perhaps this is the last Vruta of Chaaturmaasa, very strict as the pulses - Dwidala and vegetables are forbidden for Naivedya and Hastodaka: Kaarteeke Dwidalam Tathhaa

Each and every Festival is the worship of Sri Hari - Sri Hari Seva. We are really amazed to know that in all the writings of our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu we find the description of Ananta Mahima of Sri Hari and the unique style of conveying the greatness of Sri Harisarvottamatva. Sri Ramachaaritramanjari and Sri Krishnachaaritramanjari included the essence of Bhaagavata and Sri Hari Mahima. Sri Raghavendrateertharu's abundant knowledge of Brahmanda Vaibhava in PRAMEYA SANGRAHAHA is quite surprising. What the scientists of today are telling, Mantralaya Rayaru has described in detail long back. Here also Sri Harisarvottamarva is upheld superbly. Basically a Divine Chetana took Avatara and described all the points of Adhyatma - Swarga -Naraka- Daivee Swaroopa etc. to all of us. As we are very common living beings - Paamararu. Thus our Uddhaara is by Mantralaya Yatiraataru. The Remembrance and surrendering to Rayaru will result in Punya Siddhi Sarvaarthha Sadhana.

Smruti Maatrena Santushtam Prasiddha Karunaa Nidhe
Prasannobhava Tae Poojaam Yathhaa Shakti Karomi Aham

Sri Krishnavadhootaru has rightly said in Sri Raghavendra Tantra. Gururaya I am in your Seva, Pooja as per my ability, kindly accept my seva pooja and Bless me. You are popular and famous - Prasiddha Karunaa Nidhe - that by remembering you only you are quite pleased to Bless the devotees.

Sri Venkatesho Vasudevaha Pradyumno Amita Vikramaha
Sankarshano Aniruddha Cha Sheshadri Patihi Yeva Cha

This is Sri Venkatesha Stotra of Brahmandapurana. The first shloka is a great Upadesha to all the people. Husband is Sarvswa to the wife. In the same way Sri Hari is Sarvswa, He is the Lord to all the devotees.

Patihi Yeva Cha

The Appropriateness of this word is immense, as we go on thinking chintana, we are unable to imagine the meaning of this word. The wife Dharmapatni - Ardhaangi should be co-operative to her Pati husband, upheld the position, personality and the status of her husband. Should not speak light of him with others, that results to Pati Droha, disloyalty. Always we have to believe trust our lord Swami Sri Hari with love and affection. Faith and belief must be unalterable. We are not blessed by Sri Hari, so indulging in the worship of some other ordinary powers and there by hating Sri Hari is not wise and sane. For this act we say Sri Hari Dweshi. We have seen the Hari Dweshis became Asuras and troubled the satvika sajjanas. The housewife must be proud of her husband, house and family. In the same way we must be faithful, loyal and affectionate to our Sri Hari. Then only our life will be meaningful and fruitful.

MAMA SWAMIHI SRI HARIHI
MAMA GURUHU SRI RAGHAVENDRAHA
TVAMEVA SARVSWA MAMA DEHI KARAAVALAMBAM

Devotees life and living are completely blossomed by the Kind Anugraha of our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu that too with Sankalpa Siddhi. In Gurustotra our Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharya has said :

SARVESHTO MODATE NA ATRA SAMSHAYAHA

Definitely true. To clarify this delicate kind relationship of Sri Hari and the Bhaktas to we ordinary people only the first shloka of Sri Venkatesha Stotra has taken its birth.

PATIHI YEVA CHA.

Let us go into the details of the last line of the 6th.Shloka:

Yo Balamathhana Balaavaahrute Asmin Savrushtow
Vroddhratyaa Aahaaryavaryam NikhilaJanakhilam Paalayan Paatva Sow Maam

Devendra got extremely angry that in Gokula Baala Gopalakrishna is getting all the worshipping items Pooja Dravya which he has to receive time to time. So Indra started incessant heavy rains - KUMBHA DRONA. Water and water every where. Gopalakas, Govatsa,Gopis and the entire residents of Gokula frightened and thought that the time of END - PRALAYA had come now. Sri Krishna in order to protect The Gokulavaasis simply lifted the Govardhana with his last finger - pinky finger. All became safe as Paramatma hold the Govardhana Giri like an umbrella. and joyful by this kind act of bravery. Sri Krishna made it clear to Indra and the other Asuras in Mathhura that He is Sri Hari - Sri Vishnu - Sri ManNarayana.

Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru upheld HARISARVOTTAMA in describing this incident and the beautiful vyakhyaana of Sri Laxminarayanacharyaru Vidwatchakrachoodamani is really meticulous. Mantralalaya Rayaru requested Swami Sri Hari Sri Krishna to protect all of us as He protected the entire Gokulavaasis and Govatsa. The unique style of upholding Sri Harisarvoittama of Mantralaya Rayaru cannot be excelled by others. Adwiteeya - Na Bhooto Na Bhavishyati. In Bhaagavata Sri Hari has made it clear

Na Aham Vasaami Vaikunthhe Yogine Hrudayerow
Madbhaktaha Yatra Gaayanti Tatra Tishthhaami Naarada

Naarada I am not only residing in Vaikunthha and in the heart of the Yogis and the Rushi Munis, I am also residing in the heart of the Devotees who are worshipping me, praying me and praising me.

Madbhaktaha Yatra Gaayanti Tatra Tishthhaami

The Bhaktavatsala Bhaava of lifting the Govardhanagiri through the Pratibha Lekhani of Rayaru described the Uddhaara Bhaava of our Mantralaya Rayaru.

Now I wish to share the Anugraha of Sevapara Bhaktas. A devotee asked me that his desire is to be fulfilled quickly, as there is no time and requested me the proceedure of Seva. I suggested the following Shloka of Sri RaghavendraTantra to chant as many times as possible Yathhaashakti for a period of 40 Days.

Mantram Tae Mantralaya Dhaaman Bhuvi Japtuhu
Paatu Paadambho Laghu Nashyati Ati Dukhkham
Swamin Bhooman Bho Gururaja Sakalam Kurvanukoolam.

As a Mantra the world devotees are chanting the name of Sri Raghavendrateertharu with devotion. By doing this the devotees acquire the Anugraha of our Mantralaya Rayaru and all the miseries and the sorrows will be vanished soon. Swami Guru Raghavendra will make everything favourable and comfort in all the spheres of our family life.

The devotees acquired the desired fruit only within 4 weeks and Blessed by Mantralaya Yatiraat. Another devotee also chanted the same shloka with devotion. Early in the morning Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu appeared in the dream said. I am pleased with your devotion and seva. I am fully aware of your problems, solved, not to worry. I will be pleased even you chant MOOLAMANTRA. The devotee asked me about the Moola Mantra. I said the MoolaMantra is

OM SRI RAGHAVENDRAAYA NAMAHA.

Surrender to Sri Raghavendrateertharu with devotion Rayaru we are sure to get the Anugraha.

Kimatra Bahunoktena Gururaja Krupa Balaat
Sa Bhavet Siddha Sankalpaha Sarva Roga Vivarjitaha

Why to speak more ? By the Anugraha of Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu we become Siddha Sankalpa and free from all the diseases and deformities. Siddha Sankalpa means what all we aspire to get and become will definitely take place. This is the Mahaan Shakti of our Gururaat Yatiraat Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru.
