Date : Nov 21 2013

Background

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.

Tathhaapi Tat Prasadena Bhaktya Kinchit Vadaamyaham

These are the wordings of  Pandit Sri Narayanacharyaru's MAHAKAVYA  MAHAAN KAVYA  SRI RAGHAVENDRA VIJAYA.

While describing the greatness of SRI KRISHNACHAARITRAMANJARI, I wish to quote the above Shloka of Sri Narayanacharyaru. We are overwhelmed to read the Shlokas one after the other.

Guror Anugraham Mukhyam Sampraapya Sukhavaan Bhavet
Ato Bhooloka Madhye Asmin Pratyaksha Phaladaayinaha

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

Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhouma  you have to Protect us always and  Prabho your Blessing Hand should always be on our head, is the Constant Prayer of all the Devotees of the world today. As your Anugraha is highly essential to all of us. 

Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru's Sri Hari Bhakti and the humanitarian kind concern are described in Mantralaya(540).


Meaning

We are really amazed to know the affection and the kind concern of our Mantralaya Yatiraat Gururaat Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru towards our Mantralaya Devotees. Where ever they are settled globally, we find the Divya Sannidhaana of our Gururayaru. We are already fully aware:

Diva Prabhaate Nishi Cha Pradoshe Madhyam Dinae Avyaat Mama Jaagarookaha
Sarveshu Karyeshu Cha Sarvadaa Maam Paayaat Guruhu Mat Kruta Sannidhaanaha

Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu is  Protecting me day and night, morning and evening and also during my sleep and awake(Jaagarooka) always taking care in all my works WHERE EVER WE ARE ! THE SANNIDHAANA OF RAYARU WILL BE PRESENT AND WILL TAKE CARE. So we Strongly believe

Mantralaya Bhaktaaha Yatra  Sri Raghavendrateerthaha Tatra.

The Shree Rakshe of Rayaru's  Paramaanugraha will always take care of Mantralaya Devotees, irrespective of caste, creed, religion, nation and gender. Mantralaya Rayaru the Parama Bhaktaru of Sri Hari. Under any circumstances Sri Raghavendrateertharu even in Poorvashrama never requested for any favour nor objected. Never asked nor demanded. A great Mahimavantaru with a smile looked the life with contentment and satisfaction. Acquired the Complete Anugraha of Devi Sharadamba. Apratima Pratibhapurnaru ! Medhaavi ! Gnyani ! Never felt short of words, such a rich vocabulary of creativity.  We have seen in all the works of Rayaru. Expert in Concise and Expand descriptive   creativity always proved Efficient. In Kannada we say SIDDHA HASTARU.

The 12 th. Shloka of Sri Krishnachaaritramanjari:

Sri Krishnachaaritramanjariya 12 Neya Shloka:

Datwaa Putram Pravaktre Pratigata Madhura Saantvayan Uddhavaasyaat
GoshthhaSthha Nandapurvaan Ramayadabalaam Preeti Krudyaha Shubhasya
Akrooraasthh Tena Pratigata Vidita Pruthhaa Putra Krutyoo Jaraayaahaa
Sunoom Nirbhinnasenam Vyatanuta Bahusho Vidrutam Saha Paayaat

A series of important incidents are described in a single sentence by Rayaru. The concise style has enhanced the beauty of Sri Krishnachaaritramanjari. Each and every word  of Kavya  weighed the pros and cons and thus the PADA PRAYOGA is highly meticulous. After killing Kamsa Vasudeva Devaki performed the Upanayana of Sri Krishna and Balarama. Then they joined the Gurukula of Sri Saandeepini. Enjoyed a lot experienced the Maatru Vaatsalya of Gurupatni and the innocent affection of friend Sudaama. On the day of departing from Gurukula Sri Krishna requested Guru Saandeepini, that he intends to offer Gurudakshina, Guruvarya please order me what Guru Dakshine I have to do Samarpana to you. Knowing the Mahima of Sri Krishna Saandeepini Rushi told that among his five sons one son had been to Prabhaasa Kshetra for the holy samudra snaana, and did not return, drowned. Please bring my son that is your GURUDAKSHINA.

Sri Krishna gladly accepted. Reached Prabhaasa Kshetra, after enquiring with Varuna came to know that Shankha Asura has taken him, killed Asura Panchajana - Shankha, but could not get Guru's son, as he was not present in his stomach. Sri Krishna took out the Shankha as per the request of  Shankha Asura and agreed to hold the Shankha in his hand. So Vishnu became Shankhadhaari. It is quite interesting to know that those who have met their end by Sri Hari have attained Moksha. The Sri Krishna went to Yamaloka took back the Son of his Guru from Yama. Then came to the Ashrama of Saandeepini, Sri Krishna submitted the Gurudakshina of Gurputra Samarpana. The joy of the noble satvika couple Sri Saandeepini knew no bonds! Then  Sri Krishna reached Mathhura with Balarama.

Swami Sri Krishna remembered wht he has said to Trivakra, went to her home, she became extremely happy. Sent Uddhavana to Gokula to console Nanda Yashoda, Gopalakas  and all the Gopis. Sent Akroora to Hastinapura to convey the message to Kunti his maternal aunt that Sri Krishna's Abhaya is always there for her sons. In the meanwhile Jaraasandha with a great fury came to take the revenge of  his son-in-law along with 23 Akshohini Sainya.
 
One Akshohini means Chariots 21870. Elephants 21870. Horses 65610. Soldiers 109350.

Like this there were 23 batches Akshohini.

Sri Krishna along with Balarama fought courageously defeated  that 23 Akshohini Sainya and  sent him back. Devotees we are amazed to know the busy schedule of Sri Krishna one after the other without any break. Still Sri Hari not tired ! Never tired ! Not one or two several Mahimas of Sri Krishna started right from his childhood. The Lokoddhaara Bhakta Prema Dushta Shiksha and Shishta Paripaalana of Sri Hari Sri Krishna is immense. When Sri Hari is there to we should not worry ! Our duty is  to Believe only to Surrender Swami Sri Krishna and whole heartedly carry on our routine. He will definitely take up the responsibility of our welfare. As per the wordings of Geeta Sri Krishna will take care.

Ananyaaha Chintaha Yanto Maam Ye Janaahaa Paryupaasate
Teshaam Nityaabhiyuktaanaam Yogakshemam Vahaamyaham
Nambidara Kai Bida
Nambi Kettavarilla Sri Hariya

Dear world devotees the wordings of Sri Guru Purandaraasaru are quite meaningful ! This has enhanced and increased our Strong Faith and Belief.

Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu's abundant Lokoddhaara is a world record. There is no exaggeration to say that no one has excelled Rayaru. As Sri Raghavendrateertharu is a great Hari Bhaktaru Parama Bhaktaru in all the Avataras. Saandeepini Rushi's son  drowned and the jiva was in the custody of Sri Yamadharma has been broght by Sri Krishna Paramatma and handed over to his Guru, Presented as GURUDAKSHINA. This is really a great Miracle. So we call Sri Hari as Anupama - Apratima - Aprameya. Such a Mahan Sri Krishna - SriManNarayana - Vishnu  Aaraadhakaru is our Mantralaya Rayaru will protect us always is described in the 12th. Shloka of Sri Krishnachaaritramanjari.

The perfection and the efficient style of  writings of our Rayaru clearly shows the magnanimity, kind heart, Aparokshagnyana, rich imagination - Pratibhapurna Panditaru,

PURVA UTTARA AMITA TARANGA CHARATSU HAMSA

Our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru. In the Series always I mention Mantralaya Rayaru as it is dearest, owing to the Yaaga in Prahlada Avatara. Always liked and likes  this Tungabhadra bank, so Rayaru came all the way from the bank of Kaveri - the cultured temple city Kumbhakonam. Always engaged in the Uddhaara of the Devotees. In Sri Prahlada Avatara done the dharma of the Daityas. In the Avatara of Sri Vyasarajaru done the Uddhaara of shepherds - Sri Kanakadasaru a living example and in Sri Raghavendra Avatara doing the Uddhaara of the world devotees irrespective of caste, creed, religion, nation and gender. Always given the top priority to the Uddhaara of the devotees amidst Rayaru's Deergha Akhanda Japa even to this day.

It is quite interesting that when Sri Kanakadasaru  was born as a Dalit happened to meet our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu  that too during the last Chaaturmaasa Vruta at Sanjeevarayara Gudda situated in between Manvi and Cheekalaparvi, a most sacred place, here Sri Maruti is highly Siddhi  and very Jaagruta. Immediately Seeing Rayaru the pretty old Dalit shouted Oh ! Vyasarayare ! In turn seeing him Rayaru also reciprocated and Shouted Oh ! Kanaka ! Both of them remembered their Poorva Avataara Mantralaya  Aparokshagnyani  Guru Rayaru came to know that the Avatara Samaapti is very near. Immediately Rayaru said that you have to give something to me. So go home and bring. The poor old man came to his cottage and searched everything but could not get anything. At last in a broken mud pot found some mustard, the same thing he tied in a cloth and gave it to Sri Raghavendrateertharu. Gladly Rayaru  accepted and asked the cook to use this mustard for today's Naivedya of Sri Moola Ramadevaru. The cook was r ally surprised ! Guruvarya this is the last Vruta, no pulses and bahubeeja are allowed now. Rayaru said when Kanaka has given means it is finished ! It is fine ! At that time that was the biggest crime in the eyes of hard core vaishnavas. Rayaru never cared and used. In this way our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu is a great Social Reformer. Today we the followers of RayaraMatha are using mustard even during the last chaaturmaasa vruta. Liberally distributing the Punya of Deergha Akhanda Japa of Sri Hari to all the Devotees even to this day. Fufilling everything whether it is small or big. Increasing the Bhakti Gnyana Vairaagya of the Devotees in this way, thus imparts the DURBHARA MOKSHA. What more is required? Only the  able souls Yogya Chetanas Sujeevis will Surrender to Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu, Perform the Seva and acquire the Anugraha. For others it is highly impossible !

We again remember the wordings of Kosigi Sri Guru Jagannathadasaru:

NAMBI KETTAVARILLAVO EE GURUGALA
NAMBADE KEDUVARUNTO

Devotees engaged in Pronouncing Mantralaya Mantralaya Rayaru Rayaru where ever they may be always Blessed and the Rayara  Sannidhaana will take care.

MANTRALAYA ANUSANDHAANA BHAKTAAHAA DHANYAAHAA

Devotees fortune is our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru.

Aapaada Mouli Paryantaam Gurunaam Aakrutim Smaret
