Mantralaya-5

(Tungamma)

Background

The incident took place in Mantralaya long back is brought here in the form of a poem
 

Meaning

Those who have believed RAYARU are all happy and secured the desired wishes,that is why have faith,belief in Rayaru said GuruJagannathDasaru the great devotee of RaghavendraSwami in one of his
songs.

Sitting in Brindavana GuruRajaru sees everything and protects all.His mode of protecting his devotees is great.We cannot compare and contrast.

In the years of 1958-1964 Mantralaya was not like today with all the amenities.At that time I have seen with my own eyes and witnessed how Rayaru blessed kindly to a poor woman.Tungamma was married.But her husband did not like her.Gave all sorts of troubles and ultimately he sent her to her father’s house.Tungamma was most unhappy in her father’s
house.She was ill treated and insulted by all .When a woman did not get the love and regard of her
husband,she will not get love and regard any where.So was the fate of Tungamma.

After hearing from others she heard of Mantralaya and Sri GuruRaghavendraswami.Decided to go and reached Mantralaya. Started the sankalpaSeva till her life’s problems are solved.She stayed in Mantralaya for three years and did seva-morning and evening full bath of Tungabhadra river,with wet clothes and hairs with devotion she did seva-pradakshina-namaskara,with tears prayed to the lord of Mantralaya.Rayaru appeared in her dreams and asked to apply oil to her hairs and comb them.
Eat properly.How kind is Rayaru.What an amount of care he is having towards his BHAKTAS.

Rayaru asked her to go her husbands house in the dreams.She replied in the dream and said to Rayaru let him come to Mantralaya& take her.Because he has insulted and driven away from his house.During the the seva she was feeling always that somebody is following in her shadow.That somebody is nothing but GuruRaya..Rayaru was always following and protecting
Tungamma.

After three years of seva her husband came to Mantralaya and asked her to come home.Tungamma’s constant unaltered seva was great.Rayaru was pleased with her.After Hastodaka Seva with Phala Mantrakshate and Mruttika the Archakas Blessed her.Her THREE YEARS STAY in Mantralaya impressed a lot to the Divine Cordiality with her honest simplicity.

Tungamma’s seva is really great and cannot be forgotten.Rayara Mahima saved the poor life.
