(Sri Akshobhyateertharu)

Date : Jan 3 2013

Background

ANANYASCHINTAYANTO MAAM YEH JANAAHA PARYUPAASATE
TESHAAM NITYABHIYUKTAANAAM YOGAKSHEMAM VAHAMYAHAM

Devotees who always Think of me, Regard me, Worship me, Worship me in many ways

PARYUPAASATE. I always take care of them in all respects.

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

Sri Hari told to Sri Narada Maharshi that do not think I am only residing in Vaikunthha and in the hearts of Yogis. Where my devotees call affectionately, sing with complete involvement I will be in their heart.

Our 5th. Pontiff Sri Akshobhyateertharu,  Sri Rudramsha Sambhootaru proclaimed the essence and the supremacy of Dwaita and the complete surrendering of Mantralaya devotees to Sri Raghavendrateertharu are described in Mantralaya(490).


Meaning

Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru is very dear to  Sri Hari, Parama  Bhaktaru of Sri Hari. We the devotees of Mantralaya Rayaru daily pray before we take our meals:

Brahmantaa Guravaha Saakshaat Ishtam Daivam Shriya Patihi
Acharyaaha Sri Madacharyaaha Santu Mae Janma Janmanee

Saakshaat Sri Vayudevaru - Sri Hanuma - Sri Bheema - Sri Madhwacharyaru’s great dynamic personality, divine incarnation (Daivtva Saakaara), the essence of Gnyana, the gist of  Sadachara  Sri Harisarvottama - Sri Vayujeevottama is our Guiding force and bright light - Diksoochi - Dhruva Taare. Sri Madhwacharyaru’s Divine Power, Devotion (Daivee Shakti - Bhakti - Yukti) and the style of presentation in debate of Dwaita Siddhanta (Khandana - Mandana) is a world record. We feel  happy and proud that what a long foresight our Sri Anandateertharu had in his mind towards our Dwaita Philosophy.

Acharya He himself chose four successors for his Parampara one after the other: Sri Madhwam   Padmanmabham      Naraharimunipam     Madhava Akshobhyteerthow

 These four were able, noble , highly learned and knowledgeable personalities to continue the Parampara as the best  Paramahamsaru and definitely these four will gear up the Peethha on the right track. The arrangement of Sri Madhwacharyaru is superb.Made all this arrangements systematically.

It is quite heartening that our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu also made the same type of arrangement one after the other to become the Paramahamsas of our Vidya Mutt:
Sri Akshobhyateertharu the fifth pontiff from Sri Madachary ruled the Dwaita Peethha  for a decade and a half it means for 15years.Performed the Pooja and the Upaasana of our Dwaita Saraswati. A great scholar, a good debater, a great Sri Haribhakta, Parama viraagi, Sarvasangaparityagi and the dearest Shishya of Sri Madhwacharyaru. Sri Govindashastri was the poorvashrama name of Sri Akshobhyateertharu. When  Sri Acharya Madhwaru chose him he was a prime youth at that time.Sri Acharyaru knew his real ability and recognized that he is not an ordinary man, a great chetana, Rudramsha Sambhootaru and Sri Akshobhyateertharu is quite fit to upheld the Dwaita Siddhanta.In those days debate Vaada of Dwaita Adwaita was very common.

Vaade Vaade Jaayate Tatva Bodhaha

Akshobhyateertharu won every where Khandana Mandana was the routine for the Pandits and that too the Paramahamsas.  Sri Akshobhyateertharu  held the debate with the great Adwaita stalwart of that time Sri Vidyaranyaru regarding Tatvamasi. flatly defeated the Vaada of  I am the Brahma - this world is false( Mithhya) and strongly described and upheld the Tatva of Deva Jeeva Bheda and Jagat Satya !

NAANE BRAHMA JAGATTU MITHHYA
Yendu Vaadiparige Andu Uttarisidaru
DEVA JEEVA BHEDA  JAGATTU  SATYA
 
Yo Vidyaranya Vipinam Tatvamasyaasinaachchhinat
Sri MatAkshobhyateerthaaya Namaha Tasmai Mahatmane

Sri Akshobhyateertharu owing to Rudramsharu pleaded the Tatva wonderfully as Rudradevaru is Parama Vaishavottamaru. Today we Mantralaya Devotees SAY:

SRI HARI SARVOTTAMA SRI VAYUJEEVOTTAMA  
SRI HARA VAISHNAVOTTAMA

The fifth pontiff Sri Akshobhyateertharu is most fortunate to have  Sri Jaiteertharu  as his successor. Sri Jaiteertharu is also fortunate to have Sri Akshibhyateertharu as his Guru who taught the complete Acharya philosophy and Sadachara. Our  Hamsanaamaka Paramatma’s Saaklshaat Parampara of Sri Madhwacharyaru’s Moola Maha SamsthhaAna is so great that one after the other were all Daivee Chetanas.

At that time many Vaishnavas were in  Padharapura they were all the devotees of Vithala.Sri Akshobhyateertharu had a strong desire that his successor should be a great Gnyani and he got a dream that who so ever comes on the horse to the Sandhyavali, you make him as your successor. So as per the direction of the dream Swamiji sat on the bank of Sandhyavali awaiting the horse rider to come. At noon  a horse rider appeared, as he was feeling too thirsty, Sitting on the horse only drank the water like the animals. Immediately Akshobhyateertharu shouted oh ! Are you a animal in your previous life: KIM PASHUHU POORVA DEHE. By hearing this Dhondopanth remembered his previous life of Vrushbha a bullock and the seva offered to Sri Madacharyaru.

Sri Akshobhyateerthara  Udgaara Dhondopantharu
Kele Poorva Janumada Smarane Sphutavaagi Tore
Yatiyaadaru Sri Akshobhyateertharinda
SRI JAITEERTHARU   Yendu Naamakarana Padedaru

So immediately Dhondopanth came to Sri Akshobhyateertharu and requested to impart Sanyasa. Accepted the Sanyasa at his prime youth. It is the Sankalpa of Sri Hari and our Acharya Sri Madhwaru that:

DHONDOPANTH  HAS TO BE THE SIXTH PONTIFF AS  SRI JAITEERTHARU

And Sanyasa Pradaana by Sri Akshobhyateertharu. Akshobhyateertharu not  only became Ashrama Guru but also became Vidya Guru. Learnt several things and well versed. That was Boon to the Rachana of Teekas. Sri Akshobhyateertharu whole heartedly taught all the Vedas and the Shastras - Samasta  Gnyana.

On the day of Margashira Panchami Sri Akshobhyateertharu attained Sri Haripaada on (Brindavanasthharu)the bank of Kagina river in Malkhed. Celebrated the Aradhana  in Malkhed. Sri Akshobhyateertharu inspired several yatis owing to the abundant knowledge. As Rudramsharu always victorious and said that Madhwa Siddhanta is always victorious, no one can defeat.

In the same way Sri Jitamitrateertharu the 12th. Pontiff of our Vidya Mutt the successor of Sri Jitamitrateertharu is also Rudramsharu. Aradhana is on Margashira Bahula Amavasya.

Our Acharya Parampara is always aimed at Manukuloddhaara. We have no words to describe the kind affection of our Mantralaya Rayaru:

Ihaam Uttarapta Sarveshto Modate Na Atra Samshayaha
Agamya Mahima Lokae Raghavendro MahaYashaahaa

Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharya has said in Gurustotra.

A Guru Parama Guru is one who guides properly, always doing the best to the Manukula. We have to surrender to such personalities for our Uddhaara as described  by  Avadhootaru in  SRI RAGHAVENDRATANTRA.

Paapeenaam Agraganyoham Dayaloonaam Tvamagraneehee
Tvaam Vina Nahi Jaanena Anyam Mama Adya Uddharakaranam

Oh! Sri GuruRaghavendra I am the top in the list of sinners and you are top in the list of Dayaloos kind people. I do not know any one, except yourself, as you are my Uddhaarakaru.

So let us completely surrender to Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu and pray for our Uddhaara.
