Sapta Dweepa Mahee YaatraPhalam Vindati Maanavaha

Our Gururaat Yatiraat Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu is so great Punyavantaru that Sri Krishnavadhootaru has described in Sri RaghavendraTantra that Devotees performing the Pradkshina of Sri Raghavendrateertharu in Mantralaya with great devotion will yield the benefit of all the Yatras of this world (Sapta Dweepa Mahee Yaatra Phala).

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

Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru's Pratyaksha Darshana and the importance of Guruparamapa Dandaka our Mantralaya Yatiraat "Shreshthham Sri Raghavendram Sakala Guna Nidhim" are described in Mantralaya(493).

Meaning

Our Dasavarenyas have spontaneously with devotional ecstasy danced at the sacred yard of Tungabhadra Mangalada Tungeyangala : Mangalakara Mantralaya Vaasam

For the sake of all the devotees Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu is engaged in Deergha Akhanda Japa of Sri Hari below the Bhavya Divya Neela Brindavana in Mantralaya. Many a times Rayaru had made it clear that I am residing here only. We are amazed to know the Yoga Siddhi of our Daivee Chetanaru ! Rayaru is always happily in the midst of the devotees.Accepts the Sevas, Utsavas and Blesses the devotees. This is the daily routine of our Sri Raghavendrateertharu in Mantralaya. Not only that given Pratyaksha Darshana on the important days of Aaradhana, Guru Bhakti Namana that is Sri Raghavendra Saptaaha, starts from Sri Raghavendrateertharu's Pattabhisheka and concludes on Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru's Vardhanti from Phaalguna Shukla Dwiteeya to Phaalguna Shukla Saptami. Four years back described in Mantralaya series that during the NAADAHAARA Rayaru personally sat on the chair in the Sabha and enjoyed the musical fete. A young boy saw and showed to his grand mother. Rayaru given Pratyaksha arshana in Bichali Japadakatti at the Ek Shila Brindavana.Recently on the day of Madhya Aaradhana on Saturday August 04.2012, Rayaru given Pratyaksha Darshana at the time of Ksheeraabhisheka. Rayaru blessed with a smile. Many have availed the Darshana and Blessed. For the sake of us to bless us to protect us Rayaru is in Mantralaya.Bichali Appanarya, Krishnavadhootaru, Sri Jagannathadasaru Ibharamapura Appavaru etc. were lucky enough to have Pratyaksha Darshana and also talked with Rayaru. So our GURUPARAMPARA DANDAKA :

Shreshthham Sri Raghavendram Sakala Guna Nidhim

When the Pratyaksha Darshana and interaction stopped with Sri Jagannathadasaru, with a melancholy mood sang: Guruve Nee Yaake Mookanaadyo

From that day Rayaru appeared in the dream of Sahlada Avatarigalu.Mantralaya is the Sacred Home MANGALADA MAHA MANE. We are highly blessed, enlightened by the Punya Charite of our Mantralaya Rayaru. Sri Raja S Gururajacharyaru the Poorvashrama Putra of H.H.Sri Suyameendrateertharu the 36th.Pontiff of our Vidya Mutt has contributed abundantly towards the Sahitya Seva. A great Gift. Unforgettable Gift. Akshaya Koduge. Sri Raghavendrateertharu's Sri Hari Bhakti Gnyana Pratibhe Paanditya Sahitya is introduced to the world and thus enhanced the Faith, Belief, Bhakti and Punya to all of us.There is no exaggeration to say that Raja S. Gururajacharyaru is with Bichali Japadakatti Appanacharya and Pandit Narayanacharyaru.

A Prayer Universal Prayer of the devotees always living in the real of Mantralaya and the remembrance of Rayaru is mentioned below:

Sri Sudheendra Kara Jaata Namo Namo BhooSuraNuta Vikhyata Namo

Really how meaningful they are !

I here by Promise and Proclaim in Mantralaya series that Rayaru's Protecting Hand is always on us. So let us not afraid. Let us Surrender Completely to our Rayaru as our Avadhootaru said:

Paapeenaam Agraganyoham Dayaloonaam Tvamaagraneehee
Tvaam Vinaa Nahi Jaanena Anyam Mama Aadya Uddhaarakaranam

Mantralaya Gururaya I am the top in the list of sinners and you are top in the list of Kindest Chetanas. yourself I do not know anybody except yourself. I know that you are my prme Uddhaarakaru. So please protect me. I am completely surrendered to you .

Let us have a glance of the Seventh Shloka of Sri Krishnachaaritramanjari's last two lines:

Gaana Krishtaarta Chittaaha
Yam Kaalindyam Nishaayaam Aramayat AmalaJyotsnayaa Deepitaayaam
Chaarvangeen Namra Vaakyaihi Stanabhara Namitahaa Prrenayan Priyataam Namaha

On the bank of Yamuna near the Kaalindi Madu ( Deepa water looks like not flowing), there was a flower garden, on the Moonlight night all the flowers blossomed spreading fragrance Sri Krishna desired to play his favourite flute (Venu).When Swami started playing the flute - Venu Naada took the entire Gokulavaasis to Gandharva Loka. Somply attracted something like Sammohana hypnotized. All the beautiful young, middle aged and old attracted to Venu Naada -( Mugdheyaru Proudheyaru Pramadeyaru). Simply fell in love with Sri Krishna. All the cows,calves,Gopis and Gopalakaas rushed to the bank of Yamuna to listen and enjoy the Venu Naada of Swami. Cows started giving milk, due to the increase of love. The beautiful ladies with their loving style rushed forgetting their status, left all the work which they were doing. Rayaru meticulously described.

STANABHARANAMITAAHAA VRUJAGATAVANITAAHAA
GAANAKRISHTAARTA CHITTAAHA

They all came running, without caring the prime features of their youth and beauty. Simply bent by love, encircled Sri Krishna. Rayaru though a great Vairaagi Yativarya described nicely as the word STANABHARANAMITAAHAA is used in Veda. Everything is in the framework of decency and sadaachaara. Rayaru is expert and efficient in Veda Vyakhyaana. So Rayaru has made this Pada Prayoga in the Kavya. The Feminine generation was simply mad of Sri Krishna. They were not one or hundred they were 16,000. In those days the female population was only 16,000. All were Paramabhaktas, loved and liked swami.

STANABHARANAMITAAHAA VRUJAGATAVANITAAHAA
GAANAKRISHTAARTA CHITTAAHA

THEY WERE THE DEAREST DEVOTEES OF LORD KRISHNA.

It is better to interpret in this way only. We are complete under the control of Lord Sri Hari. He is omniscient and omnipotent.

VISHWAVE KUTUMBA LOKAVE NANNA MANE

So the writings of our Mantralaya Rayaru are wise and sane. Such a Mahaan Swami Sri Hari be dear to me, near to me. Rayaru has described in this Shloka.
