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.

The grandeur of Navaraatri Utsava and the Miracle of Sri Raghavendrateertharu during this Chaaturmaasa at Sanjeevarayara Gudda are described in Mantralaya(534).

Meaning

We are celebrating Navaratri Utsava in this Punyakara Aashweeja Maasa commencing from Shuddha Pratipada to Vijayadashami. It is also called as Sharannavaratri. Almost all the devotees follow the festival. This is the festival of lights in front of Kulaswami for continuously for nine days and nine nights. Navaratri Nandaadeepa Nitya Deepotsava Deepaaradhane. We are amazed for the Omniscient, Omnipotent, affection and  kind concern of Sri Hari towards us.

Vishwato Baahu Vishwato Chakshu Sakala Gunaganaparipurna Sarvatra Sarvashakta
Sarvswa Sarvatantra Swatantra Anu Renu Truba Kaashthha Paripurna Sri Hari Swami

TENA VINAA TRUNAMAPI NA CHALATI

During this Navaratri we keep a pair of Ghee and a pair of oil Nandadeepa through out the day and night, see with all purity that the Nandadeepas are properly lighting with devotion. In the name of Kulaswami Tirumalai Srinivasadevaru we invite our Swami Aahwaana Ahaawana and perform Ghata Sthhaapana. Sri Venkateshwara Sannidhaana will be there during this Navaratri. Pooja Alankara Naivedya Vaishwadeva Hastodaka Mangalarati are all done, we feel that Tirumala Swami is daily in our house and accepting our humble seva. It is quite interesting to know that That Tirumalai Sri Srinivasa is the Kulaswami of our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru and Rayaru by the Anugraha of Srinivasadevaru only born to Veena Timmannabhattaru and Gopamma - Gopikamba. Srinivasaswami offered Pratyaksha Darshana and blessed at the sanctum of Panchamukhi Praanadevaru in Gaanadhaalu to Sri Raghavendrateertharu while performing Japa and Anushthhaana. Every day in this Navaratri Sri Venkatesha Mahatmye of Bhavishyottara Purana Pathhana Shravana is very important and all listen without fail AND ARE GREATLY blessed by Tirumale Sri MannNarayana. Mantralaya devotees where ever they are globally settled celebrate this festival and with devotion do Nandaadeepa Deepaaraadhane Deepotsava:

DEEPA SAMYOJANAAT GNYANAM PUTRALAABHO BHAVET DHRUVAM
PARAVAADIJAYODIVYAGNYANABHAKTYAADIVARDHANAM

Agnideva sincerely conveys our Prayer to Sri Hari Vayu Guru Madhwaru GuruRayaru.

Each house, temple and Mathha celebrate NAVARATRI DEEPA compulsorily.Our mind is not constant wandering here and there to all the directions. It is the Pooja of Navaratri which makes us to be in the Seva of Sri Hari. This is our culture and the mode of life which enlightens our thoughts and action on the right path. So during Navaratri Nandadeepa imparts abundant Siddhi and Punya.

On the auspicious Eve of NAVARATRI UTSAVA  I have surrendered completely to Mantralaya Sri Devi Manchaalemma and Rayaru to PROTECT our devotees. Our Bhakti is Maarjaala Bhakti. Believed completely. More over our Tirumala the abode of Venkatachala is too Sacred like Vaikunthha, so it is called as Bhoovaikunthha.

Venkataadri Samam Sthaanam Brahmande Naasti Kinchana
Venkatesha Samo Devo Na Bhooto Na Bhavishyati.

Na Cha Madhava Samo Devo Na Cha Madhwa Samo Guruhu
Madhwa Shishyo Shreshthham  Mama Mantralaya

Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumam  Narhari Priyam

There is no place equal to Venkatadri and there is no God equal to Sri Srinivasadevaru. We are Blessed by Sri Sriniuvasadevaru Sri Hari at this Venkatachala. Swami desired and  is residing in Venkatachala with Sri Mahalaxmi, Sri Devi and Bhoo Devi. Daily Brahma Shiva Shesha Garuda Rudra Indra and all the gods are worshipping our Sri Venkatesha.

Nityam Brahmaa Shivaha Shesha Garudendraadayo Amaraaha

As described in Aaditya Puraana.

Vishwada Bhaktare Tirumaleya Tappalina
Srinivasaswamiya Sannidhaanave Viswada Bhaktarige
Shweta Dweepa - Anastaasana - Vaikunthha
Parama Paavana Kshetra ! Illi Mailige Ashuchi Illa

Prati Nitya Brahma Rudra Shesha 
  
Garuda Indrare Modalaada Shreshthha Devategalella
Bhaktiyali Laxmidevi Sahita Sri Srinivasananu

So dear world devotees Tirumala Punya Kshetra is our Shweta Dweepa - Anastaasana - Vaikunthha. It is very Sacred and always Pure Ashuchi will never Peep. Avail Darshana. Accept His Prasada what ever it may be ! What ever may be the Tithhi or Nakshatra or day or night!

Our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru’s daily routine, each and every action is describing and upholding Sri Harisarvottamatva. Dear devotees please look at the Tenth Shloka of Sri Krishnachaaritramanjaree:

Akrooraakaaritoyaan VrujaYuvatiJanaanSaantayitwaaAbhitaptaan
Swam Roopam Majjate Asmai Vilasita Mahigam Darshayamstena Vanyaha
Yogatwaa Kamsaadhaanem HrutaRajakaShiraschaaruveshaSsudaamanaha
Preetim KurvamStreeVakraam VyatanutaRuchiraamPouramahyooAvataat

Detail and elaborate incidents and events described in the most appropriate style, in the concise form shows the greatness of Rayaru’s Pratibha. Sri Krishna and Balarama along with Gopalakas joined Akroora to reach Mathhura and Participate in the festival of Dhanu. After reaching Mathhura Sri Krishna asked Akroora to go to the Palace and inform about the arrival. Balarama - Krishna along with his friend Gopalakas took a round in Mathhura. A washerman - Dhobi - Rajaka was a faithful Servant of Kamsa, Krishna asked to give him clothes to wear as he was carrying a bulk of washed clothes. Rajaka refused to give. Sri Krishna soon cut off his head and killed, as he was crooked in the company of Kamsa. So Did Dushta Shikshe. Snatched all the clothes selected for himself and Balarama and the remaing clothes gave to wear the Gopalakas.

On the way Sri Krishna met a short and ugly woman, she was carrying the Scents and perfumes to the palace. Sri Krishna asked her to give some scent and perfume. Happily she gave to Sri Krishna. As she was noble and pure hearted Swami asked her and accepted. She gave it to Satpaatra ! Swami simply touched her, by mere touch Sparsha, the ugly and the short woman became most beautiful and attractive. Further she invited Swami to her house. AS SHE GAVE SCENT AND PERFUME TO AN ABLE SHE BECAME BEAUTIFUL, AS SHE WAS GOOD AT HEART SWAMI ACCEPTED TOUCHED HER AND BLESSED. TO DO THE UDDHAARA SWAMI EXPECTS SOMETHING FROM THE ABLE NOBLE SAJJANA SATVIKAS. This is the gist of Daana Satpaatra Daana, the Essence of  our Dharma  and Culture

PAATRA APAATRA VERIFICATION ACCEPTANCE AND GIVING are to be observed strictly. I wish to share a great  Miracle of our Kind Yatiraat Gurraat  Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu during the Chaaturmaasa at Sanjeevarayara Gudda it is also called as Gudi, the Sacred Sannidhaana of Sri Vayudevaru - Sri Hanuma - Bheema - Madhwaru in between Manvi and  Cheekalaparavi. Once Rayaru for Chaaturmaasa stayed here at Sri Sanjeevarayara Gudda. A pretty aged  old man after seeing Rayaru came near to the Gudi and immediately shouted VYASARAYARE ! Hearing this Rayaru amazed and stunned for a while and in return Rayaru reciprocated OH ! KANAKA ! This whole incident made the two Chetanas to remember the Poorvaavataara. Sri Vyasarayaru knew the great Hari Bhakti of Sri Kanakadasaru, who Regarded and Respected Sri Vyasarayaru always as his Guru. Now during this Avataara, born in poverty, downtrodden community. Added to this now the old age.Rayaru took pity on him and decided to give Mukuti and said you have to give something to me and I have to accept. So go home and bring something! Reached his cottage and searched to take something, but could not find anything. At last he found a handful of Mustard (Saasuve Kaalu)  in an earthen pot, took it out and tied in piece of cloth, with devotion offered to Rayaru. Rayaru felt happy for bringing Mustard accepted and asked the cook to use this for today’s Naivedya for Sri MoolaRamadevaru ! Cook surprised, now vruta Bahubeeja are not allowed to use for food. Rayaru said when Kanaka had given means it is finished, it is alright ! AS HE WAS SATPAATRA RAYARU ACCEPTED AND IMPARTED MUKTI. As already described we have to give Daana for the able and the noble and at the same time accept from the able and the noble.

Though it was Chaaturmaasa Sri Raghavendrateertharu accepted his offering though not allowed. He was good and noble, nothing was available for him to offer to Rayaru. His Praana Pakshi was about flew,  Only Mustard was there. So Aparokshagnyani Gururayaru knew the whole thing and readily accepted and used that too during the Chaaturmaasa Vruta. From that day in our Mathha Rayara Mutt we are using Mustard and all the followers of Rayara Matha. Pure heart and perfect devotion are most important. Mantralaya Rayaru Scrutinised and Sanctioned.
