Meaning

The Himalayan height of abundant Punya of Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu is increasing and enhancing day by day. The total sum of Sri Prahalada - Sri Vyasaraja and Sri Raghavendrateertharu is available to the Sevaarthhis - Seva Devotees - World Devotees at the Siddhi Kshetra of Mantraniktana Mantralaya. Now Karteeka Bahula is in force in the cycle of time Kaalachakra. Mantralaya devotees eagerly and happily always welcome the Sunrise and the Sunset. Remembering our Karuna Samudra Rayaru with great devotion:

Baalidu Kanasalla
Golina Tinisalla
Nanni Higgina Hosa Tota !

Dear World devotees of Mantralaya life is not a dream nor a sorrowful plight. But life is really a beautiful new garden of contentment, satisfaction and pleasure. We are following and accustomed in Sadaachaara without any show nor pride and prejudice. Kaaya Vaachaa Manasaaa we are in the Seva of our Gururayaru. This is very dear to our Mantralaya Yatiraat Gururaat Sri Raghavendrateertharu. Bichali Japadakatti Appanarya, Sondur Krishnavadhootaru, Vijayadasaru,Gopaladasaru,Jagannathadasaru, Ibharamapura Appavaru, Sri GuruJagannathadasaru and so on are the greatest devotees of our Rayaru. These divine personalities were highly Fortunate and Lucky enough to talk with our Gururayaru though engaged in Deergha Akhanda Japa of Sri Hari, below the Brindavana in Mantralaya.

Devotees as you are already fully aware that the poorvashrama elder sister Venkatamba - Venkamma will be arriving late to Mantralaya from Madhurai. Sri Raghavendrateertharu asked the personnel staff of the Mutt to a leave small hole at the corner of the Platform of the Brindavana. After she visits me then close the hole permanently. This has been done. Venkamma arrived late, through the hole she saw her poorvashrama brother Yatiraataru talked with him. Nearly more than fifteen minutes Venkamma talked with Sri Rayaru, surprised to hear that he is quite comfortable in Deergha Akhanda Japa of Sri Hari. Rayaru said that Vayudevaru is very kind and favorable to him in the garbhaalaya Guhantarnivesha. Clarified to Venkamma that his JAPA IS IN PROGRESS. This is a thing to be remembered by all the Mantralaya Devotees.

On the day of Shraavana Bahula Dwiteeya in Mantralaya in front of Sri Venkateshwara Temple, the elephant Maandhaata sat so as to enable Rayaru to sit on the elephant as the procession was scheduled to reach the bank of Tungabhadra. Sri Narayanacharya the poorvashrama nephew of Rayaru while handing over the Pooja Pettige of Sri MoolaRama wept loudly with grief like a child. Rayaru said oh ! Narayana, Laxminarayana, Venkanna why are you weeping. I am not doing(going to give up my body) DEHATYAAGA. As per Manudharma I will be disappearing from your sight and will be in Brindavana as per Yatidharma. This is my decision Sankalpa for the Akhanda Deergha Japa of Sri Hari. Do not feel sorry, I will be here in Mantralaya, call me any time, any where, I will definitely come to you and protect always. This is the Abhaya of Sri Raghavendrateertharu not only to Narayanacharya, Laxminarayanacharya and Diwan Venkanna but to all the devotees of the world.

On the day of Shraavana Bahula Bidige when Rayaru did Brindavana Pravesha, His greatest devotee Bichali Japadakatti Appanacharya was not in Mantralaya, went for Madhwa Sanchara as per the advice of Rayaru. When he came to know the news on that he rushed to Mantralaya crying and uttered the Gurustotra spontaneously owing to the ecstasy of regard, affection and devotion towards our Rayaru. The Tungabhadra was in spate, overflowing. But without caring all this Appanarya crossed Tungabhadra from Bichali and reached Mantralaya. Rayaru though in Deergha Akhanda Japa heard the world famous GURUSTOTRA completely from the beginning:

Sri Purnabodha Guruteerthha Payobdhi Paara
Kamaarimaaksha Vishamaaksha Shirahasprushantee

Yo Bhaktyaa GuruRaghavendra Charana Dwandwam Smaran Yaha Patheet
Stotram Divyamidam Sadaa Nahi Bhavet Tasya Asukham Kinchana

KimtviishtaarthhaSamruddhirevaKamalaaNaathhaPrasadodayaat
Keertihi Digviditaa Vibhootiratula

Appanacharya could not pronounce anything more, he fell on the floor in an unconscious mood owing to the utmost grief as he could not tolerate the separation of his dear Guru Bandhu Adhidaiva. Sri Raghavendrateertharu was busy in the Hayavadana Japa when Appanarya came to Rayaru. Immediately kind Gururayaru said from the Brindavana

SAAKSHI HAYAA SYO ATRA HI
SAAKSHI HAYAAHAHI ASYA ATRA

Completed the Gurustotra. What all you have said in Stotra from the beginning to the end are true and correct. Sri Hayavadana Roopi Sri Hari is a witness. All the gathered devotees on that day in Mantralaya clearly heard:

SAAKSHI HAYAA SYO ATRA HI

After hearing the voice of our Gururayaru in turn the devotees with gratitude pronounced

Iti Sri Raghavendrarya Gururaja Prasadaataha
Krutam Stotram Idam Punyam Sri Mat Bhihi Appanabhidhaihi

Because it is wise and sane to agree that Appanacharya a polite devotee of our Rayaru would never address himself as SRI MAT BHIHI. Dear Devotees we are really lucky and fortunate that Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru for the sake of us is residing in Mantralaya with Yogasiddhi.

Mouna Vruta Priyo Mounee Mantralaya Krutaalayaha
Maangalya Beeja Mahima Mandito Mangalapradaha

Sometimes I feel, what an amount of Punya the devotees at the time they have made, they were present and actually heard the voice of Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru. This is a great Mahima a great Blessing, Paramaanugraha to Sri Appanacharyaru. The first Miracle after the pravesha of Brindavana in Mantralaya.

One more point I wish to share that the devotees of Rayaru have attained certain qualities to help the satvikas.

YatPaadaPadma Parikeertana JeernaVaachaha
Tat Darshanam Durita Kaana Daava Bhootam

Devotees who are always in the seva of Rayaru and digested the Naamochchaarana and Hitopadesha of Rayaru are so powerful that their mere darshana will vanish, destroy the ill deeds paapas as the wild fire burns the whole forest. When this is the power and the Mahima of Rayara Devotees, we cannot even imagine the abundant Mahima, Siddhi and the Punya of our Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru. The Punya is enhancing, growing and accumulating day by day even after distributing liberally to the devotees. The devotees large number may cause a great problem, so Gururayaru disappeared from our sight and became BRINDAVANAMANDIRA. We are amazed to know the foresight, kind concern and the affection of our Rayaru towards the devotees.

Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru is the only saint in this universe who has never exhibited the super human power. Always said and is saying that as per Sri Hari Anugraha all auspicious will happen, He is there to Protect. We fully agree to our Dasaru:

Kundade Vara Mantralayadalliruva
Karedallige Baruva

Sri Raghavendra GuruRayara Sevisiro
Neeva Soukhyadi Jeevisiro

Avadhootaru has said in SRI RAGHAVENDRATANTRA:

Divaa Prabhaate Nishi Cha Pradoshe Madhyam Dinae Avyaan Mama Jaagarookaha
Sarveshu Kaaryeshu Cha Sarvadaa Maam Paayaat Guruhu MatKruta Sannidhaanaha

The meaning of this Shloka of SRI RAGHAVENDRATANTRA by the greatest Devotee Sri Krishnavadhhotaru is that our Kind Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru will always Protect and take care everywhere and in all our undertakings. In the morning and in the day time, in the night and in the evening and the afternoon, during our sleep and awake - Jaagruti and Sushupti. In all my works and always Protect us. Where ever we are the Sannidhaana of Mantralaya Gururayaru will come and help to the maximum extent to those Devotees as our Senior Hyderabad Devotee always says Complete Surrendering to our Sri Raghavendrateertharu with Firm Faith and Constant Belief. Rayaru listens the call of the devotees carefully and affectionately.
