Sri Anandateertha Bhagavatpadacharyaru's unforgettable contribution and the teachings of Acharya Sri Madacharya are described in Mantralaya(499).


Meaning

Sri Vayudevaru has taken the Avatara as Sri Madhwacharyaru. It is a great fortune and the Punya of our India and Karnataka. Sri Madhwacharyaru dedicated himself to upheld Sri Hari Sarvottama and the Manukula is bent with gratitude to Acharya Sri Madhwaru. It is very interesting to know the incident that happened at the temple of Sri Ananteshwara in Udupi. On the day of estival a devotee climbed a tall pillar of about 50 feet, and started dancing. Loudly with Aavesha  shouted : Devotees please do not afraid. Very shortly Sri Vayudevaru is taking the Avatara for our Uddhaara. It is true. All the gathered Sajjanas and Satvikas listened carefully. Among the gathered devotees the noble, able and the Satvika couple Sri Madhyagehabhatta and Vedavati of Paajaka were also there. God alone knows in which house and in whose Punyagarbha Sri Vayudevaru is going to be born!

Paajaka is about Seven miles from Udupi. Since 12 Years Madhyagehabhatta was going daily to Udupi to worship Sri Ananteshwara in all the 365 days of the year without fail. Paajaka is a beautiful village surrounded by mountains and Pushkarinees. Abundant Natural Gift is a Boon ! Satvika Sajjana Sri Narayanabhattaru was popularly called as Madhyagehabhattaru as the house was in the middle of the village. He was called as Nadumane Bhattaru - Madhyagehabhattaru.

In course of time owing to the intense and the sincere Seva of  Sri Ananteshwaraswami Madhyagehabhattaru's wife Vedavati became pregnant. Sri Vayudevaru was born in the Punyagarbha of Vedavati on the 12.00 noon on the day of Vijayadashami. At that time Madhyagehabhattaru was on the way back to Paajaka from Udupi after completing the pooja of Sri Ananteshwara. As soon Bhattaru reached home delighted to hear the news of the new born male child, healthy and handsome. The Blessed parents named the child as Vasudeva. One day Vedavati asked her daughter to look after Vasudeva till she returns. After an hour Vasudeva started crying. The sister thought that Vasudeva is feeling hungry and so crying. In the kitchen she saw her mother had kept baked Daal seeds( Beyisida Huruli) in a big pot. She went on feeding that till the pot became empty. After eating that Vasudeva slept peacefully. Vedavati came and asked her daughter did Vasudeva cried ! She replied yes, thinking that he is hungry I fed all the baked seeds. Mother terribly afraid to hear, what will happen to the child when he had eaten so much of seeds. But nothing happened. Vasudeva is not like other ordinary baby but Vayudevaru. Digested the whole stuff, no stomach pain or anything. Dear Devotees, this is the first  and the great Miracle of our (Acharya Madhwaru) Vasudeva that too when he was a baby.

Once a rich man came to the house of Madhyagehabhattaru to recover the loan, as he borrowed some money long back. Forcing to repay with interest immediately today only other wise he is not going. So sat in the house. Vasudeva took pity on his fathet. Prayed to Sri Hari and went at the backyard of the house. There was a big Tamarind tree, searched here and there and collected a few seeds of Tamarind. Chanted Sri HariSarvottama and gave them to the rich man and said, please receive your amount which my father had borrowed from you. Amazed to see the golden coins in his palm. That was more than that of what Madhyagehabhattaru borrowed ! So happily thanked Bhattaru and left the home. This is the second Miracle of Vasudeva that too when he was too young. Father really surprised to see the Divine Power of his son. His heart replied, he is none but Vaudevaru as per the incident of Sri Ananteswara Tenmple in Udupi on that day. Felt glad that his son Vasudeva is Saakshat Avatara Chetana, became proud that how fortunate they are to have him as his own son !

Madhyagehabhattaru slowly started Aksharabhyaasa. Amazed to know the extraordinary memory power. What ever taught once remained in his heart and mind permanently. So performed Upanayana and sent to Totantillaaya Guru for Paathha. Within a short span of time learnt all the Vedas, Mantras and the Shastra. Also completed the study of Aitareyopanishattu and  sincerely offered  the Essence of  Upanishadas to his Guru. The joy of Totanitllaaya knew no bonds. So far he had never had a shishya of this caliber. Vasudeva desired Sanyasa though he was too young. Met Sri Achuyutaprekshacharyaru requested him to bestow Sanyasa - Yati Ashrama. Studied under the guidance of his Guru and got the Aashramaabhidaana as Sri Anandateertharu - Sri AnandateerthaBhagavatpada Acharyaru. Resided in Udupi. It became the centre of Madhwa Peethha.

A fruitful living. Meaningful life is the life of Sri Anandateertharu.At that time Shaiva Vishishtaadwaita Tatvas gained popularity and people accepted them as the right Tatvas teachings. Acharyaru proclaimed and upheld the greatness of Sri Hari to the whole universe Sri HariSarvottama. All the Dwaita Paramahamsas along with  the propagation of  Sri HariSarvottama also propagated Sri VayuJeevottama.

So is our Parampara of Hamsanaamaka Paramatma's Saakshat Parampara of Jagadguru Sri Madhwacharyaru's Moola Mahasamasthhaana of Sri Raghavendrateertharu of our Mantralaya.

The routine of Sri Madacharyaru was always scheduled with multifarious activities of Granthha Rachana, Paathha  Pravachana and Dwaita Adwaita Vaada.Praying Gangadevi Acharya Madhwaru constructed Madhwa Sarovara, a permanent water source to the Temple of Sri Krishna and to the Ashta Mathas. Aparokshagnyani came to know that from Dwaraka Rukmini garden Sri Krishna - Kadagola Krishna (Devaki and Rukmini have worshipped) is coming to Malpe, hidden in the log of the Gopichandana. Acharyaru miraculously acquired the log of Gopichandana and he himself carried Sri Krishna and brought to Udupi. Immersed in MadhwaSarovara  for shuddhi and later completed the Pratishthhaapana of Sri Krishna idol. Established Ashta Mathhas and made proper arrangements for the Pooja of Sri Krishna in Udupi which is very famous as Rajata Peethha. The contribution of Sri Madhwacharyaru is Ananta, Akshaya and unforgettable. We are highly bent with gratitude to Sri Anandateertha Bhagavatpadacharyaru. The 37 Granthha Rachana of Acharyaru describing the greatness  and the glory of Sri Narayana is highly commendable in the field of Adhyatma. Two times performed Badari Yaatra. At the Sannidhaana of Sri Vedavyasadevaru as a Seva engaged in writing Commentary to Bhaashya as Anuvyakhyana. For this AnuVyakhyana our Sri Jaiteertharu wrote commentary and named SUDHA - SRIMANNYAAYASUDHA. Sri Vyasarajaru's appreciation to the writings of Sri Jaiteertharu is very important:

Sri Vyasarajaru described in Nyaayamruta

Chitraihi Padahai Cha Gambheeraihi Vaakyair Maanyair Khanditaihi
Guru Bhaavam  Vyanjayantee Bhaati Sri Jaiteertha Vaak

Acquired  the most sacred idols of Sri MoolaRamadevaru from the treasury of the Orissa king Sri Gajapatiraya by Sri Narahariteertharu and worshipped Sri MoolaRamadevaru for two months and twenty one days in Udupi and made  Sri Padmanabhateertharu as his successor, handed over the Ashrama Peethha: Sri Madhwam Padmanabham.

On the day of Maagha Shuddha Navami Sri Madhwacharyaru as usual performed the Pooja and then engaged in Paathha to his dear shishyas in the Ananteshwara temple with grandeur. At that time all the Gods pleased to listen and made Pushpa Vrushti. Heaps and heaps of various kinds of flowers showered on Sri Madacharyaru. At one stage they could not see Sri Anandateertharu - saw only the flowers and the flowers. Slowly the shishyas came forward to push the flowers hither and thither and separate the flowers showered on Acharya  Sri Madhwaru. Removed the flowers they were shocked to that Acharyaru was not at all there. The Shishyas and the paraphernalia of the Mutt became sad for the absence of their beloved Guru. At the same time they heard an Oracle Akashavani that Sri Madhwacharyaru is living in Udupi Ananteshwara temple with Adrushya Roopa and with Drushya Roopa in Badari - Hire Badari worshipping the Lord Sri ManNarayana and in the Seva of Sri Vedavyasaru will be engaged  in Granthha Rachana.  The gathered Dev tees amazed to listen. Dear World  Devotees , this is the greatness and the Mahima of Sri Vayudevaru for our Uddhaara:

Brahmantaa Guruhu Saakshaat Ishtam Daivam Shriyapatihi
Acharyaha Sri Madacharyaha Santu Mae Janma Janmanee

This is the constant Prayer of Mantralaya Devotees for all the times
