Mantralaya-529

(The importance of Naivedya - Hastodaka and the great experience to Sri Vijayadasaru Bhrugumunigalavataari)

Date : Sep 5 2013

Background


We are in the middle of our Mantralaya Paramahamsacharyarus Chaaturmaasa Deeksha.

Shravanam Keertanam VishnohoSamaranam Paada Sevanam
Archanam Vandanam Dasyam Sakhyam Aatma Nivedanam

Mantralaya Gururaat Yatiraat Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhouma Prabho, I have completely Surrendered to you and always in the Seva and the Japa of Mantralaya Mantralaya through Navavidha Bhakti. Please Protect me:

Avatu Tvam (Avatvam) Sadaa Sri Guro Raghavendra
Prabho Mae Shirasyaasu Hastam Nidhehi

Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhouma  you have to Protect me always and  Prabho your Blessing Hand should always be on my head.

Dear Devotees Sri Venkatadri the holy abode of Sri Srinivasadevaru is Pure, Sacred and too Holy. Sri Hari Aavaasa is in Tirumala. Vaikunthha Sri Venkatadri:

Venkataadri Samam Sthhaanam Nbrahmande Naasti Kinchana
Sri Venkatesha Samo Devo Na Bhooto Na Bhavishyati

There is no place in this universe which is equal to Venkataadri. No God is equal to our Swami Sri Srinivasa Sri Venkatesha Laxmeesha. In the past we did not find and in future also we cannot find Such a God. Sri Venkataadri is  the beginning of Ksheera Samudra Shweta Dweepa Anantaaasana Vaikunthha. So we should not say Ashuchi and  everything there is Shuchi Pure and Sacred. It is foolish to say Ashuchi Mailige etc.

Vairaagya Bhakti Satwaadiprada Indriya Vashpradam
Venkataadrow Shuchi Kshetre Ashuchi Dosho Na Vidyate

After the Divya Darshana of Sri Hari the Prasada which is given we have to accept with honour and eat. It is paining that some rigid orthodox hardcores do not accept and eat that. In Aaditya Purana the importance of Bhukshesha Prasada is described. It is always good and auspicious to eat the Navideya Bhukshesha of Sri Hari. Venkataadri is the beginning of Ksheera Samudra Shweta Dweepa Anantaaasana Vaikunthha. So at this most holy Sanctum only we must not refuse the NAIVEDYA  BHUKSHESHA, whether it is Puliyogare, Pongal, Laddu or Paayasa.

Tasmaat Venkatanathasya  Naivedyam Graahya Uttamaha
Tena Kshemam Prajaanaam Hi Vipatreete Viparyayaha

Na Cha Madhava Samo Devo Na Cha Madhwa Samo Guruhu
Vibhoota Durmatadhwaanto Vishadeekruta Paddhatihi

Yaha Sajjanaanujjahaara Jaiteertha Ravim Bhaje
Madhwa Shishyo Shreshthham Sri GuruRaghavendram Narhari Priyam

In the same way we have to eat the Hastodaka of  all the Yativarenyarus in general and Sri Jaiteertha Teekaakrutpaadacharyaru and Sri Raghavendrateertharu in particular. We are refusing the offering of Hastodaka Bhukshesha means we are too hardcore even at the abode of Sri Prahladarajaru and Sri Narahari.

The importance of Naivedya - Hastodaka and the great experience to Sri Vijayadasaru Bhrugumunigalavataari in Mantralaya are described in Mantralaya(529).

Meaning

The blessing Hand of our Kind Yatiraat is always on the heads of the devotees.

Avatu Tvam (Avatvam) Sadaa Sri Guro Raghavendra
Prabho Mae Shirasyaasu Hastam Nidhehi

Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhouma  you have to Protect me always and  Prabho your Blessing Hand should always be on our head, is our Constant Prayer Satvika Mantralaya. But even then a few Satvika Sajjana Devotees are encircled and in the whirl of several problems created by evil forces resulting inwicked acts and deeds. At that moment we may feel, I am a Satvika Devotee though surrendered completely to our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru, why all this suffering by unwanted elements ? The answer is that the days of the evil forces have come to an end. The Pot of Sin is going to be filled and Kind Yatiraat will simply vanish and Protect us.

Hatwaa Cha Dushtaan Krimi Vruschikaanda Jaataan Mama Avyaat Gururaja Dandam
Bhindyaat Pishachaasura Yaksha Raksho Bhoota Gruhaadeen GuruPaada Renuhu

Sri Krishnavadhootaru The greatest Devotee of Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu has described in Sri RaghavendraTantra that Rayaru will punish the wicked, the crooked and the poisonous creatures  with Yati Danda and Protect us. We will be free from the danger  Bhoota -Preta - Pishaacha - Vaamaachaara - Vasheekarana  (Yaksha) and Rayara Mruttika will take care of all the Gruha Peeda.

The wicked and the crooked  people are too  dangerous and poisonous as the whole body and the heart will be full of poison. than these creatures mentioned below:

Vruschikasya Visham Puchchhe
Makshikaayaa Mukhe Visham
Takshakasya Visham Dante
SARVAANGE DURJANASYA TAT

They all will be punished by Mantralaya Rayaru.

So Devotees, please do not worry. Rayaru is in Mantralaya for the sake of us. Guhanatar Nivesha in the Deergha Akhanda Japa of Sri Hari, belkow the Bhavya Divya Neela Brindavana. Now I wish to describe the importance of Hastodaka Samarpana Seva to our Rayaru. After Pooja Alankara to Sri Hari Vayu Gurugalu we offer Naivedya to Sri Hari, Vaishwadeva to the Tatvaabhimaani Gods and the Sapta Rushis including Ashwinee Devatas. Then we offer Naivedya that is Hastodaka to Sri Hanuma Bheema Madhwa Guruvarenyaru, Sri Jaiteertharu and Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhounmaru.

Yati Hastae Jalam Dadyaat Dadyaat  Sarvswa Bhunjate
Yatra Yati Bhunjate Harihi Tatra Bhunjate

Holding the glass (Thaali) and the spoon (Uddharani) chant the above lines and offer Teerthha three times to Yatis serially and Perform the Prashanchana to the Hastodaka. What ever we have offered with Bhakti Yativarenya Sri Raghavendrateertharu will accept completely. Whatever Yatis have accepted affectionately that will be accepted and eaten up by Paramatma Sri Hari. So Hastodaka is of great importance and Mahimapurna. Where Yatis are eating Sri Hari will eat that too with great affection. Because the Yatis Paramahamsas are always in the Seva of Sri Hari. The very routine of our Swamiji is the Pooja of Sri Hari Narayana. Paathha Pravachana Chintana Manthhana in Sushupti and Jaagrutaavasthha. So Swami Sri Hari Sri MannNarayana is highly pleased with our Paramahamasarus. It is always good to accept the Hastodaka.  we have to eat the Hastodaka of  all the Yativarenyarus in general and Sri Jaiteertha Teekaakrutpaadaru and Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu in particular. We are refusing the offering of Hasto aka Bhukshesha means we are too hardcore even at the abode of Sri Prahladarajaru and Sri Narahari. Offering Naivedya to Sri Hari will be fruitful when we offer Hastodaka to Yatis. So Mantralaya GuruRaghavendrateertharu's Hastodaka is of great importance. In our Sacred Mantralaya the Present Paramahamsaru himself will offer Hastodaka to our Karunaalu with great devotion. Now I  wish to share two Miracles Mahimas of our Mantralaya Rayaru to Cheekalaparavi Sri Vijayadasaru. BhrugRushigalavataari Aparokshagnyani Sri Vijayadasaru when ever his heart throbbed for Rayaru, visited Mantralaya  frequently and offered Hastdoka himself to Rayaru. No body objected all were aware of the  Bhakti of Dasaru.

One day at about 12.30 pm Vijayadasaru came near the Sri RaghavendraTeertharu's MoolaBrindavana with folded hands chanting Stotra. The Shishya holding the Harivaana of Hastodaka stood waiting for the order of his Guru to open the closed banana leaf. Like this he stood for than 45 minutes. Then immediately Sri Vijayadasaru raised his hand to open the leaf. Offered Teerthha Tulasi and then offered Hastodaka to our Rayaru. The Shishya asked Sri Vijayadasaru why today you took lot of time Gurudeva. Sri Vijayadasaru answered, early morning Rayaru left here, took holy dip in Tungabhadra at the Sanyasi Katti of Bichali. Then performed Aahneeka at the Bichali Japadakatti. Straight away he reached Gaanadhaalu at the Sacred abode of Sri Panchamukhi Praanadevaru did Japa for a long time today. Just Rayaru returned to Mantralaya so I asked you to open the banana leaf for the offering of Hastodaka. Shishya amazed to hear. Really felt proud of  Sri Vijayadasaru his  Guru and came to know that his Guru is not an ordinary but an extraordinary Divine Soul, Pa ama Bhaktaru of Mantralaya Rayaru. Raichur district Lingasugur Taluk Dasavarenyas are all the greatest Devotees of our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu. Holding the Tamboori Taala Gejje praising our kind Yatiraataru have actually danced  with devotional ecstasy on the Mangalakara Tungeyangala. We are grateful to DASATRAYARATNATRAYA

Cheekalaparavi Sri Vijayadasaru
Uttanooru Sri Gopaladasaru
Manavi Sri Jagannathadasaru

The contribution is immense and the Punya is abundant.

When we remember Tungabhadra and when we pronounce Mantralaya Mantralaya we become highly emotional and sprang with overwhelming joy and happiness. For the sake of us, for our Uddhaara Rayaru left the sacred  bank of Kaveri and the most cultured Temple city of Kumbhakonam and reached the  holy bank of Tungabhadra - the river Tungabhadra which is equal to the Sarayu river of Ayodhya. To fulfill our Desires and the day to day needs of the Devotees. Tungabhadra became holy and sacred by Rayaru. Manchali became Mantra Niketana - Mantralaya !

Tungambodhi Tarangasya Vaatena Parishobhitaha Mama Adhidaiva Sri Raghavendram

Always whole Protecting the World Devotees happily.Rayaru is very famous as PRASIDDHA  KARUNAA   NIDHI as our Sondur Sri Krishnavadhootaru described in SRI RAGHAVENDRA TANTRA:

Smruti Maatrena Santushtam Prasiddha Karunaa Nidhe
Prasanno Bhava Tae Poojaam Yathhaa Shakti Karomi Aham
Yendu Praarthhipevu Naavella

Sri Raghavendrateertharu is very famous as Prasiddha Karunanidhe to Bless the Devotees by just remembering Rayaru in our heart and mind with complete devotion. I am worshipping  you as per my  knowledge, ability and stamina.

Prasanno Bhava Tae Poojaam Yathhaa Shakti Karomi Aham

Please Shower your  Kind Blessings. 

Mouna Vruta Priyo Mounee Mantralaya Krutaalayaha
Maangalya Beeja Mahima Mandito Mangalapradaha

Our Kind Yatiraat Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu is in Mounavruta, observing silence. Always engaged in the Akhanda Deergha Japa of Sri Hari to do the Best Possible to the Devotees. For the sake of this Noble Task only Sitting below the Bhavya Divya Neela Brindavana in Mantralaya and made Mantralaya as His own House to Bless and impart Success in all our endeavours.

Again after a few days Sri Vijayadasaru came to Mantralaya and as usual at 12,30 pm went for Hastodaka along with his Shishya and simply waited for an hour to offer Hastodaka. Vijayadasaru amazed to witness the divine scene. Sri Raghavendrateertharu   was in the Pooja of Sri Narahari Rama Krishna Vedavyasadevaru when Vijayadasaru  came with Hastodaka at that time. Dasarya's joy knew no bonds ! Availed the Pratyaksha Darshana that too worshipping Sri Narahari Rama Krishna Vedavyasadevaru. Spelled out for himself that his life became Saarthhaka !

Nodidenu GuruRaghavendrara Maadidenu Bhakutiyali Vandane
Bedidenu Kondaadi Varagala Eedu Illade Koduva Gurugala
Mantralaya Rayara Paramaanugraha Panivaara

Udaara Hanchida Dasaryarige Namo Namaha ! Sri Ganapati Avataari Uttanooru Sri Gopaladasaru has described in the Suladi is true.

Narahari Krishna Rama Siri Vedavyasa
Yeraderadu Naalakku Hari Moorutigalu
Parivaara Sahitaagi Siri Sahita Nindu
Yendu Dasaru Haadiddu Satya Pratyaksha !
Rayara Punyake Yene Illa ! Saatiyadu Modalilla !

We the Mantralaya Devotees are highly indebted to our Dasavarenyaru. Acquired Anugraha is described in detail and distributed the Punya as the Prasada of our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru.
