Mantralaya-554:Bhakti of Sri Rayaru towards Sri Rudradevaru

Background

Bhrugurushigalavatari Sri Vijayadasaru Prayed Sri Rudradevaru that my mind and heart must always remember Sri Hari like a flow of pure oil to light the jyoti. Thus described in one of the Padas - song to Sri Rudradevaru

Kailaasa Vaasa Goureesha Eesha
Tyaila Dhaareyante Manasu Kodu Hariyalli Shambho

It is quite appropriate to quote and remember on this auspicious day of Mahashivaratri the great Sri Hari Bhakti of our Sri Rudradevaru.

Sri Harisarvottama - Sri Vayujeevottama - Sri Hara Vaishnavottama is our Pathhana.

Looking at Sri Sheshadevaru Sri Rudradevaru praised :

Aho Bhaagyam Sheshagesha Prasadam
Bahu Netraani Tatprasada Soundaryam Aaswaadya Sukhabhoginaha
Harihi Yeva Paraha Harihi Yeva Guruhu
Mama Swami Harihi Nityam Sarvasya Patihi Yevacha

Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhomaha Ekaha Sadaa Sevyaha Samasaroddhaarana Kshama.

Na Cha Madhava Samo Devo Na Cha Madhwa Samo Guruhu
Madhwa Shishyo Shreshthham Sri GuruRaghavendram Narhari Priyam
Maam Raksha Sri Raghavendrateertha Prabho.

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.

The importance of Sri Harisarvottama - Vayujeevottama - Hara Vaishnavottama and our Rayaru’s Sri Rudradevaru’s Bhakti are described in Mantralaya(544).

Meaning

We are really amazed to the great qualities and the Maha Mahima of our GuruRayaru. Pratibhaa Panditya Gnyana Bhakti Vairaagya Japa Tapa Divine qualities are endless Akshaya. Always cordial with other religious thinkers and reformers. Never hated , always with great patience respected and regarded. We are already fully aware of BHAATTA SANGRAHA of our Rayaru. In the debate of Dwaita and Adwaita no one was hurt, though a winner Rayaru never expressed The author of Sri Raghavendravijaya, the purvashrama Sister Venkatamba’s son Pandit Narayanacharyaru has beautifully described :

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 possible to describe anybody in this universe. We are unable to praise in words and write in words.

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. The world is amazed for abundant patience, Paradhama Paramata Sahisnuta Dharama Samavayata, devotion, respect and regard to Rudradeva by GuruRaghavendrateertharu. The defeated Pandits in the Debate Vaada other than the Dwaitas were honored and Blessed by Mantralaya Rayaru whole heartedly with smile. They grew cordial relationship towards our Rayaru - Madhwa Siddhanta and became the friends and well wishers. Lokoddhaara of Mantralaya Rayaru is in manifolds. We are unable to cover and describe the Mahima of Rayaru though we take several births. By the Anugraha of Rayaru and Rayaru’s Devotees I am sharing the Divya Mahima of Rayaru every Thursday with the world devotees, what little I Know that too in my own colloquial style - Baala Bhaasha. We have practically surprised and experienced in case of Bichali Sri Japadakatti Sri Appanacharyaru as Lachamari Benakappa , Karajagi Shreedavithaladasaru and Kosigi GuruJagannathadasaru.

Devotees are already fully aware that Sri Raghavendrateertharu is the Aaraadhakaru and Worshipper of Sri MoolaRamadevaru -Sri Hari Vayu Guru Madhwaru and greatly respect and regard Sri Shesha Garuda and Rudradevaru. Today in Mantralaya in front of Rayaru and at the right side of Sri Praanadevaru Rudradevaru in installed and worshipped daily. In Prahalada Avataara though lot of panic was imposed by Hirannyakashyapu nothing happened to Baala Prahladaru by Sheshadevaru, as Prahladaru was worshipping Rudradevaru is unforgettable which is now in Mantralaya as said above.

Sri Hari through the Pratyaksha Roopa of Narahari made it clear that RAYARU IS A GREAT HARI BHAKTA.

Vishnusya Hrudayam Sivaha Shivasy Hrudayam Vishnuhu

Rayaru completely believed and followed the world is nodding towards the Bhakti of our Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru.

Purvashrama name Anantappa shanubhoga of Shivapura. Rudramsha Sambhootaru. On the bank of Sangama of Krishna and Bheema near Shivapur a find a temple of Rudradevaru. This place was very dear to Sri Jitamitrateertharu. Temple was the Paathhashaala and the Pravachan hall for Swamiji. It is famous Jitamitragadde. Jitamitrateertharu’s life filled with Mahima Many a times Rudradeva pratyaksha attended the Paathha and Pravachana of Jitamitrateertharu. Actually did the feeding of Naivedya to Laxmi Narasimha Saligraama given by his Guru Sri Vibudhandrateertha. Such Mahan Paramahamsas adorned Vidya Matha and Shined like the Stars.
