Mantralaya-482

Background

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.

The seventh shloka of Sri Krishnachaaritramanjari and the superb style of Gururayaru in describing the divine personality of Sri Krishna Swami, the universal affection of Rayaru and the Siddhi of Japa are described in Mantralaya(482).

Meaning

Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu's Sri Krishnachaaritramanjari is born to describe the importance of Sri Harisarvottama to the devotees of the world. Meticulously that too in the most concise form is really praise worthy. After going through this Mahakavya we are amazed and automatically we utter : NA BHOOTO NA BHAVISHYATI. Let us go into the details of the
7th.Shloka:

Govindaakhyo Athha Taatam Jalapatihrutamaaneeyam Lokam Swakeeyam
Nandaadeenaam Pradarshaya Vrujagata vanitaahaa Gaana Krishnaarta Chittaaha
Yaha Kaalindyam Nishyaayam Ramayat Amal Jyotsnayaa Deepitaayaam
Chaarvangeehi Namra Vaakyaihi Stanabhara Namitaaha Preenayan Priyatam Naha

We have already ssen in the 6th.Shloka that owing to wrath of Indra, there appeared heavy rains Kumbhadrona in Gokula. In order to protect Go Vatsa - Gopalakas - Gopis and the entire Gokula from this incessant heavy rain Sri Krishna lifted the Govardhana parvata that too with his little pinky finger and holding the Govardhana like an umbrella. Indra came to know that the little boy Sri Krishna of Gokula is an ordinary person. He is none but Saakshat Sri Hari. Requested Sri Krishna to pardon him. Repented for his act of troubling the whole of Gokula and also to Swami Sri Hari - SriManNarayana. Actually performed Saashtanga Namaskara to the lotus feet of Sri Krishna. Worshipped along with Vedokta Mantras. Bhaktaanugraha Premi Sri Krishna liked this sort of surrendering and praying. Sri Hari is very kind. Always excuses. But when it becomes extreme then only He punishes and Protects the Satvikas.

Indra offered Kalpavruksha - Kamadhenu to Sri Krishna as a presentation and requested Sri Krishna Deva Devottama kindly accept. Sri Krishna happily accepted and sent back Indra to his Amaravati from Gokula. As Sri Krishna lifted the Govardhana Parvata with his pinky finger, protected the cows and the calves(GOVATSA), Gopalakas, Gopis and the entire GO KULA got the name GOVINDA. GOVINDA is popular and famous.

Govindo Gopatihi Krishnaha Keshavo Garudadhwajaha

This is from Sri Venkatesha Stotram. GO+INDA=GOVINDA. As Swami Sri Hari himself stood to the Samrakshana of the whole GO, so Govinda is quite appropriate to our Sri Vishnu - Sri Hari - Sri Narayana.

The Sri Krishnavatara is for the sake of GOKULA. Sri Krishna loved the cows, as there are 33 crores of Gods are sannihita in the cow. Cow is holy and sacred incarnation of God. Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu always tried and prayed for the welfare of the cows.

GRUHA KSHEMA KARO GRUHYO GRUHA GOVARDHANAHA

Such a sacred sober domesticated animal today has become a prey for the human taste. We pity for cow slaughter.

GOVINDAAKHYOP ATHHA

Rayaru described the whole detail matter in one word of five letters of Devanaagari. Amazed to the concise form and the Pratibha of our Mantralaya Rayaru. The word GOVINDA is so meaningful. Today we have different interpretation for this word. Govinda means it has gone, it will never return. But the devotees climbing the abode of Tirumala they shout with devotion GOVINDAA GOVINDA. It is quite thrilling. Similarly standing in the never ending line for the Swami Darshana in Tirumala also we happily pronounce GOVINDAA GOVINDAA GOVINDA. With all this wide meaning the word GOVINDA has got its own importance.

The affection and the kind concern of our Gurusarvabhoumaru is over flooded the Mahima of Sri Hari in all the works and the writings. I always think that it is our fortune and boon of Rayaru to Manukula.Rayaru is engaged in the Akhanda Deergha Japa of our SriManNarayana on the bank of Tungabhadra in Mantralaya at the Siddhi spot where our Sri Prahladarajaru performed the yagnya yaaga for the sake of the devotees. Tapaswee is our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu.

Tapaswee Tapta Mudrankaha Tapta Mudrankana Pradaha
Tapodhana Ashrayaha Tapta Taapa Hartaa Tapodhanaha

Tapaswee Paramahamsa Gururayaru taking Taptamudra and given Taptamudrankana to the Shishyas and the devotees, we feel that we are purified, uddhaara, inspired and given shelter to many great Tapaswees - Tapodhan Ashrayaha.Rayaru says that Tapa Tapassu is wealth, a great scholar Sudha Pandita in Poorva Meemaamse and Uttara Meemaamse.
When Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharya heard that Rayaru is entering the Brindavana, he immediately pronounced who is there to participate in the debate of Uttara Meemase and Poorva Meemamse? Spontaneously in Gurustotra in the first shloka:

Sri Purnabodha Guruteerthha Payobdhipaara
Kamaarimaaksha Vushamaaksha Shirahasprushnantee
POORVOTTARA AMITA TARANGA Charatsu Hamsaa
Devaalisevitaparaanghri Payojalagnaa

We are completely SURRENDERED to our Mantralaya Rayaru. He is the oinly Saint who can lift us from all the worries of our life:

Samasaare Akshaya Saagare Prakrutito Agadhe Dustare
Sarva Avadya JalaGruhairAnupamaihi Kaamadi Bhangaakule
Naana Vibhrama Durbhrama Amota Phenotkate
Dukha Utkrushta Vishe Samuddhara Guro Maam Magnaroopam Sadaa

This magnanimous kind attitude of our Mantralaya Rayaru is very dear to Sri Hari. The daily routine of our Matralaya Rayaru is to wipe off the tears of his devotees.

Durdharo Durlabho Dushtahantaa Dushkeertibhanjanaha
Dusswapna Doshahaa Dukhkhadhwamsee Druymasamaashrayaha

Rayaru makes everything possible, destroys wicked feelings and acts.

Durdharo Durlabho Dushtahantaa Dushkeertibhanjanaha

Remove the effect of bad dreams and the bad things will simply be destroyed by Rayaru. Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu like a Kalpavruksha provides all the desired things to his devotees.

Dusswapna Doshahaa Dukhkhadhwamsee Druymasamaashrayaha

By the Purnaanugraha of Sri Hari Rayaru is distributing his abundant Punya to the devotees, that has given room to enhance further grow and accumulate owing to the Japa of Sri Hari. Always with interest performed the Japa and is performing without wasting a single minute. Never asked anything to Sri Hari for himself. Sucha a great Divine Chetana is our Rayaru. Devotees who are always remembering Mantralaya Rayaru are really great as Rayaru's Sannidhaana will be in in his house and always Blessing. We are lucky to find such devotees even to this day and take their Blessings.

So our Sri Vijayadasaru, Uttanooru Sri Gopaladasaru, Sri Jagannatrhadasaru, Kavital Kosigi Sri Gurujagannathadasaru have whole heartedly praised and said :

THAT NO ONE CAN EXCELL RAYARU. RAYARU IS SECOND TO NONE

Our prayer is only this much:

Avatu Tvam (Avatvam) Sadaa Sri Guro Raghavendra
Prabho Mae Shirasyaasu Hastam Nidehi

Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhouma you have to Protect me always and Prabho your Blessing Hand should always be on my head.

What ever the request whether it is small or big, immediately Rayaru fulfills without delay. Mantralaya Rayaru is sarvswa to the devotees. The Siddhi of Japa is a BOON to the devotees of Mantralaya. We are grateful to our Yatiraat - Gururaat. We have surrendered completely to Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu and Pray:

Tvameva Sarvswa Mama Dehi Kaaraavalambam
Yendu Bhaktaru Praarthhaneya Saliparu
Ahar Nisham Sadaa Sarvatra

DAY AND NIGHT WE DEVOTEES PRAY TO RAYARU THAT YOU ARE EVERYTHING TO US . KINDLY HELP HOLDING OUR HAND PLEASE LEAD US KARAAVALAMBAM.
