Background

A Series of auspicious  festivals and are celebrated with grandeur and devotion  on the sacred bank of Tungabhadra, the most Siddhi and Punyakshetra   Vara Mantralaya as our Manvi Sri Jagannathadasaru had said Mantraniketana. Mantralaya represents the Punyakshetra of more than SIXTY owing to the 702 Sri Laxminarayana Saligramas are placed on the head of our Rayaru who is engaged in Deergha Akhanda Japa of Sri Hari.

Mantralaya Kruta Aavaasaan Prahlada Amsha Iti Vishrutaan
Nowmyaham Tippaneekaaraan Raghavendra Yateen Guroon

We all strongly believe our Yatirat Rayaru  as Sri Prahlada - Bahleeka - Sri Vyasaraja  Avatari. Respect and Regard, bow to the lotus feet of our  Karunaalu Rayaru and surrender completely praising the great tippanis.In Knowledge and Haribhakti Rayaru is Second to None.

Asmat Guroonaam Aadhikyam Kavihi Kovaa Anuvarnayet
Tathhaapi Tat Prasadena Bhaktya Kinchit Vadaamyaham

Our Guru Adhidaiva Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu is so great and extraordinary that it is not  fully possible to describe anybody in this universe.

Asmat Guroonaam Aadhikyam Kavihi Kovaa Anuvarnayet

But even then I am going to describe something about our Rayaru with devotion by the Paramaanugraha of Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru.

Sri Krishna Paramatma's  kind concern to his devotees and the way in which our Rayaru attained Vairagya at the prime youth for the sake of the Uddhara of his devotees as per the Sankalpa of Sri Hari are described in Mantralaya(512).

Meaning

Akshayatrateeya  Gandha Lepana, Parashurama Jayanti are the main features, festivals in this week and our Mantralaya Devotees joy and bhakti cannot be described in words. We are gathered in Mantralaya, the Punya Sannidhaana of our Sri Raghavendrateertharu on the bank of Sacred Tungabhadra. Though the Sun is blazing, crawling in heat we are not bothered about that. We are quite comfortable by the Divya Darshana of our Rayaru. Let us enjoy the 9th.Shloka's second line

Geetaneka SwaleelohrutavrushabhamahapurvadevoAmaredhyaha

Gopis of Gokula are very fond of Sri Krishna they cannot live without Him even for a moment. Once it so happened that  all the Gopis could not find Sri Krishna, searched every where but could not see Paramatma, Praised through Shlokas requested the Lord to offer Darshana, at last the kind Swami WAS VISIBLE AND THEIR JOY KNEW NO BONDS !

Geetaneka Swaleelo

Also killed Vrushabhaasura. A vicious Asura who became powerful owing to the encouragement of Kamsa. All the detail descriptions are written in the most concise form and glorified the Pyunya Charite of Sri Hari. A series of such incidents are from the childhood of Sri Krishna are continued through out the Sri Krishna Avatara. The Gopis of Gokula breathed a sigh of relief by the Samhara of Vrushabhaasura. Sajjana Paalaka Swami has made it clear to Arjuna that When ever the Dharma is going to spoil and the Sajjanas are in trouble, I will create Noble Atmas - Chetanas to Protect and upheld the reality of Sajjana Satvikas and the devotees.

Yadaa Yadaahi Dharmasya Glaanir Bhavati Bhaarat
Abhuythhaanam Adharmasya Tadaatmaanam Srujamyham

Not only that Dharma Samsthhaapanaarthhaaya Sambhavaami Yuge Yuge

Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu highly impressed and completely Surrendered to Sri Hari as in Sri Prahlada Avatara. Sri Krishna said I will see that the able chetanas will take Avatara for the Uddhaara and the continuation of Sadachaara  Our Rayaru is one among them. Bhakti Saaroddhaara is the greatness of Sri ManNarayana - Sri Krishna.

For the sake of this Sri Hari ordered Shankukarna to take the Avatara of Sri Prahlada - Sri Bahleeka - Sri Vyasaraja - Sri Raghavendrateertha.

Abhuythhaanam Adharmasya Tadaatmaanam Srujamyham

Gururayaru has meticulously did the noble task through Paathha Pravachana Vaada Bhaktaroddhaara and  writings. To facilitate  the daily Paaraayana of the devotees  the two Granthhas Sri Ramachaaritramanjari and in Sri Krishnachaaritramanjari are  in the concise form. A Great  Gift to Manukula by Mantralaya Rayaru. Sri Hari Paaramya in Shlokas and acquire the Anusandhaana - Affection of Sri Hari. Rayaru has conveyed to the whole world the Sri Harisarvottamatva Hari Karune Guru Karune  Vaudevara Agaadha Karune enhanced and enriched the welfare of the devotees. He is only Saint in this universe who says NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE. When we look into the shloka of Gurustotra we accept the statement of Rayaru, Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharyaru has described:

Aparokshee Kruta Shreeshaha Samupekshita Bhaavajaha
Apekshita Pradaataanyo Raghavendraan Na Vidyatae

Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu attained the sakshaatkaara of Shreesha Aparokshee Kruta Shreeshaha 

Sri Hari in Prahlada Avatara, that too when he was in the punya garbha of his mother Kayaadhu. Later Protected the Child from all the dangers rendered by Hiranyakshyapu and finally made the wordings of his dearest Prahladaraja that Sri Hari is Sarvatra Paripurna Sarva Shakta and came out from the pillar and did the Samhaara of Hiranyakshyapu. It is very important to know that for the sake of our  Sri Prahladarajaru Sri Hari took the peculiar Avatara that Avatara is Sri Narasimhadevaru - Sri Narahari. From that day   s accumulated Punya is continued in Sri Raghavendra Avatara even to this day.

Sri Raghavendrateertharu attained Sanyasa Paramhamsaru at the prime youth, As Venkatanatharu a great scholar, young, handsome, Pratibhavantaru, beautiful Sati Sadhwi Pativruta Shiromani, cute loving son. All these things were in life. But never cared for all these things before Gnyana Vairagya and Bhakti. The affection of Sri Hari became stronger and the Samsara Bandhana could not bind him.

Samupekshita Bhaavajaha

Such is our Yatiraat Gururaat  and today what ever we ask sincerely fulfills without fail. So Rayaru is Kalpavruksha Kamadhenu Chintamani. Kodugai Daani. A magnanimous Donor to the devotees. This is because of Sri Hari bhakti Sri Hariyolume

Jagat Uddhruta Yo Jaato Jita Krodho Jitendiryaha
Jita Ari Vargo Jita Durvadee Jita Manobhavaha

The Avatara of Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu is for the Uddhaara of the devotees. Our Yatiraataru has won the anger, all the Arishadvargas - Kama Krodha Dwesha Mada Moha Matsara  right from His birth. So Rayaru is Jitendriyaru. Won all the Durvadees

Apekshita Pradaataanyo Raghavendraan Na Vidyatae

Appanryaru's devotional ecstasy, affection made him to pronounce that too spontaneously on the day of Shraavana Bahula Dwiteeya, the day on which Rayaru sat for Akhanda Deergha Japa of Sri Hari. Further Sri Appanacharyaru proclaimed with great confidence

Yo Bhaktyaa GuruRaghavendra Charana Dwandam Smaran Yaha Pathhet
Stotram Divyamidam Sadaa Nahi Bhavet Tasyaa Asukham Kinchana

Kim Tva Ishtaarthha Samruddhihi Yeva Kamalaanatha Prasadodaayat
Keertihi Dig Viditaa Vibhutihi Atula  SAAKSHEEHAYASTOTRAHI

Those devotees who have  greatly believed the lotus feet of Rayaru and perform the Gurustotra Pathhana near the Moola Brindavana (Anusandhaana purvaka) will never get Asukha miseries and sorrows in life. Not only that

Kim Tva Ishtaarthha Samruddhihi Yeva Kamalaanatha Prasadodaayat

What ever may be the  desire and demand Rayaru will definitely fulfill by the Paramaanugraha of Kamalanatha Sri Hari their fame and name will spread to all the directions and acquire good health, peace, prosperity with sufficient wealth. At this phase Appanacharyaru could not control the grief of His Guru's Separation, could not spell out and continue the stotra, simply fell in front of Rayara Brindavana and became unconscious, Rayaru completed the Stotra prouncing  SAAKSHEEHAYASTOTRAHI. Rayaru said listened all the 33 Shlokas from the beginning. Though Sri Raghavendrateertharu is engaged in Deergha Akhanda Japa of Sri Hari, carefully with all seriousness listened the shlokas of Stotraraja and said Sri Hayagreevadevaru is a witness for this famous Gurustotra.At that time Rayaru was performing the Japa of Sri Hayavadanaroopi Sri Hari and as seal of Sri Hari uttered sitting below the Brindavana  SAAKSHEEHAYASTOTRAHI. This is the Testimony of Bichali Japadakatti Sri App! anacharyaru   s intense bhakti parama bhakti Nishthhe. We are greatly indebted to Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharya for the Stotraraja Gurustotra. A GIFT TO US.

Recently we have celebrated the Aaradhana of Sri Sushameendrateertharu the 38th. Pontiff of our Vidya Matha.Always Swamiji was giving a handful of Mantrakshate with a smile and telling that Rayaru will Bless you Rayaru will Bless you. In the daily conversation of Swamji we have noticed that more than 100 times pronounced Rayaru Rayaru. Surrendered completely to Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu. Acquired the Sampurna Angara - Siddha Sankalparu - Vaak Siddhi Vaak Shuddhi. What ever Swamiji Sri Sushameendrateertharu has Prayed, Blessed have become true to all the devotees.

Tvaam Vina Nahi Jaanena Anyam
Mama Aadya Uddhaarakaranam

Believed and Surrendered. Sri Sushameendrateertharu  proved that Rayaru is  Pratyaksha Saakshi for the complete attainment of Sri Hari   s Anugraha, Affection - Aparoksheekruta Shreeshaha. Owing to the Firm Faith and Constant Belief in Rayaru through handful of Mantrakshate Blessing the devotees helped Manukula abundantly.

Devotees the Pronounciation of MANTRALAYA MANTRALAYA IS SUCH SIDDHI AND PUNYA. We are really fortunate to say that we are Blessed by Mantralaya Rayaru.
