Rayaru listens the call of the devotees carefully and affectionately.

This is the assurance of our Mantralaya Rayaru to the world devotees

Deva Mahrshi Sri Naradara Avatari Sri Purandaradasru's unforgettable multifarious contribution to Manukula and the Miracle of Rayaru during the Sanchara of Pandharapura are described in Mantralaya(498).

Meaning

Divine Chetana (Daivaamsha Chetana) Sri Purandaradasaru took Avatara in our Karnataka. It is the Fortune of Kannada. It was the Golden Age of Karnataka of Hampi Vijayanagara Empire. Cherished, nourished and flourished as a great Haribhakta, a great literary  and prominent figure of Karnatka Music, Dasa Parampara is the Avatara of Deva Muni Sri Naarada Maharshi. On Pushya Bahula Amavasya(Amrutana Amavasya) attained the heavenly abode. This year's Aradhana - Punya Tithhi is of 449th year. A popular and well known personality to the whole world. Dasaru means Sri Purandaradasaru. It is very interesting  to know that Sri  Prahlada - Sri Bahleeka  - Sri Vyasarayaru was the Guru of Sri Purandaradasaru and Swaroopoddhaarakaru has composed a Pada and praised his beloved Shishya:

Dasarendare Purandaradasarayya
Vasudeva Krishnanna Soosi Poojisuvaa
Neeti Yellavanaritu Nigama Vedyana Nitya
Vaatasutanallihana Varnisutalee
Geeta Nartanadi Sri Krishnanna Poojisuva
Pootaatma Purandaradasaraivarayya

Happily worshipping Sri Krishna Paramatma, described all the relevant things required for our day to day life and the essence of Madhwa Siddhanta. Archana by means of Navavidha Bhakti as per our Bhaagavata. Social reformation and religious activities carried out together by Sri Purandadasaru is a feather in our cap to the Devotees of Mantralaya. Guru to all the Dasavarenyas. Advocated the importance of Bhaagavata. We are greatly indebted with gratitude to  Dasavarenya Sri Purandaradasaru:

Manmanobheeshta Daataaram Sarvaabheeshta Phalapradam
Purandara Gurum Vande Dasa Shreshthham Dayanidhim

We all believe that Sri Purandaradasaru is God and had come in the form of a human being for our Uddhaara. Each and every thing is carefully observed by outward and inward eyes of  Dasaru and the heart responded meticulously and composed abundant Padas. The total composition of Sri Purandadasaru  is 4,75000.That too spontaneously - we call it as Ashukavitva. Dasaru intended to complete total 5,00000, but could not ! Asked his youngest son Madhwapativithala to compose 25,000 and complete the quota. That 25,000/ was composed by  Sri Vijayadasaru. We believe that Sri Madhwapativithala Bhrugumani  took the Avatara of Sri Vijayadasaru. Lived in Pandharapur and Hampi. Through Padasa - Keertanas - Suladis spread the teachings and the importance of

SRI  HARI  SARVOTTAMA     SRI VAYU JEEVOTTAMA

Singing the padas with Taala and Tamboori went to the houses to Bhiksha. It is not wise and sane to say  Dasaru is lazy not working and to satisfy the hunger Dasaru went for Bhikshaa. When Dasaru started the rounds of Bhikshaa came to know the things which were very common and prevalent in those days. Through padas tried to reform the social set up for better living.

Valle Naa Vaideeka Gandanna
Valle Naa Muppeena Gandanna
Yemba Padagalali Suvyakta !
Maaninge Bekaadaddu Mana Bangaaravalla
Sannakki Anna Sanna Ganda

Seeing the wealth and lands the girls father were ready to marry their daughter even though he was pretty old. Knew the feelings of our ladies that they do not want only the gold and gold but they want a suitable husband of their age. Even though heaps of bags of fine rice was in store they were not eating but eating the lower quality. It shows the stingy nature and the greedy mentality. So Dasaru described that they want young boy and fine rice -  Sannakki Anna Sanna Ganda. We are amazed to know that how Sri Purandadasaru has understood the desire of our girls at that time and  the magnanimity of Dasaru and the kind concern  to that social practice.

Sri Purandaradasaru as already described  was a model to all the Dasas.All followed the path and the foot steps. Sri Purandaradasaru is responsible to Bhrugununjgalavatari  Cheekalaparavi  Dasappanavaru become Sri Vijayadasaru and also for Vijayavithala Ankita. The famous Udayaraaga  by Sri Vijayadasaru depict the life history, Sadhana Sadhaara of Sri Purandaradasaru as a Divine witness.

Vara Padeda Naaradaru Irutiralu Ittalaa
Baralu Kali Doretanu Kaalantarake Shiri
Varana Dayadindali Janitaraadaru Purandaravemba Nagariyali
Charisidaru Kela Dina Samsaara Vruttiyali
Jaridu Vairaagyavanu Tottu Drudha Manasinali
Taruni Makkala Sahita Seridaru Kishkindhagiri Tunga Pampadalli
Aa Naaradare Purandaradasarembanthha Ee Nudiyu Siddhanta

Saakshat Deva Rushi Sri Naaradaru is our Sri Purandaradasaru , born and lived in Purandara by the Anugraha of Sri Hari, then as a jeweller - gold merchant  earned abundant wealth, became highly rich and every body called as Navakoti Narayana. Some by the Sankalpa of Sri Hari made Daana everything with Tulasi Patra, Came to the bank of Tungabhadra Hampi with wife and children lived under the kind shelter of Vyasaraja Yativarenyaru Gurusarvabhoumaru.

Now I wish to share  with all the devotees the two incidents Sri Raghavendrateertha  Gurusarvabhoumaru. Rayaru during the Sanchara of Pandharapur along with the Mutt staff. A pregnant woman of the staff got delivery pains in the day time, Sun was blazing owing to the summer, they were at a deserted place, where there were no trees at all. Kind Rayaru immediately threw the Kaashyaava Vastra made it  spread and remain there without any support and created the Shadow. Also Prayed to Sri MoolaRama for water just by digging the sand with the Danda. Pure sweet water overflowed like a fountain and provided water to all. Thus paved for safe delivery.Kosigi Sri Swamirayacharya a great devotee of Rayaru Sri GuruJagannathadasaru has described beautifully :

Nambi Kettavarillavo Ee Gurugala
Nambade Keduvarunto

Nambida Janarige Bembala Taanaagi
Hambalisida Phala Tumbi Koduvaranna

Cheluva Sutana Padeda Padeda Lalanege Tvaradinda
Pulina Garbhadi Divya Jalavanittavaranna

The Divya Darshana of  visible - invisible and pratyaksha are all for reserved for the Lokoddhaara  by our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu. The incidents happened during Shankkarna - Prahlada - Bahleeka - Vyasarajaru were all remembered by Rayaru in Pandharapur at the sannidhana of Vithaladevaru. All the Dasas have included Vithala Ankita. Vithala is Rama -Krishna- Narahari-Vedavyasru. It is quite amazing that Sri Purandaradasaru gave pratyaksha darshana at Purandaradasara Kamba that too in the Moola Roopa of Sri Naarada Maharshi to our Mantralaya Rayaru and Blessed greatly.

the greatest Miracle of Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu during the Sanchaara to Pandharapur and also at the Sannidhana of Sri Pandurangavithala are of great importance.
