This is the main theme and the aim of Mantralaya Series by the Blessings of Rayaru.

The greatest contribution of  H.H.Sri Surendrateertharu and the Mahima of Vaikunthha Ekadashi are described in Mantralaya(598).

Meaning

Many world devotees have asked me with great concern that as they are following Dhyaana, Mouna with Ekagrata concentration is it necessary to perform the pathhana of Mantra ? Such doubts are to be cleared in the minds of the devotees and the kind concern of Sadaachaara of Sri Anandateertha Bhagavatpaadacharyaru to Manukula  is immense and abundant and that is shared with all our Mantralaya devotees

SADAACHAARA   MANTRA PATHHANA POOJA PURASKAARA
ANUSANDHAANA

are absolutely essential to concentrate our mind and heart to a particular work. While we are worshipping several feelings and thoughts come to us, our attention is diverted, we cannot devote, dedicate and concentrate towards God - Sri Hari Vayu GuruRayaru. Loudly chanting of Mantra Stotra is Mantra Pathhana. This will boost up our consciousness of what we are doing at present, daily by pathhana we understand the proper meaning of the Mantra Stotra. Sadaachaara will lead to Mantra Pathhana, it will guide us how to perform the Pooja with devotion and dedication. Next we understand the meaning of Mantra Stotra. Devotion is increased by leaps and bounds. Our heart will try to imagine God and there by involvement in the worship, feel that we are in that divine world and He is Blessing us. By Mantra Pathhana we purify ourselves and there will be no barrier, nor hindrance to our sacred routine of pooja etc. We pray whole heartedly pray

PAAHI MAAM PAAHI MAAM TVAAM VINAA NAHI JAANENA ANYAM

PRABHO RAKSHA !  So dear devotees by this practice we think and feel that HE IS IN

FRONT OF US BLESSING US. This is ANUSANDHAANA.

Our Mantralaya devotees are the Nityopaasakaru of Sri Hari Vayu Guru Madhwaru and Rayaru. Always try to engage in STOTRAPATHHANA of Sri Venkayteshwara stotra, Sri HariVayuStuti,  Sri Yantroddhaaraka stotra Sri Raghavendra Gurustotra. There are some devotees who wash their feet and perform Suhddhaachamana and Alpaachamana as they are always engaged in remembering Rayaru  through Gurustotra pathhana. Attain complete involvement TAADAATMYA  TANMAYATE . Such devotees will always see Deergha Akhanda Japa Nirata Rayaru in Mantralaya on the bank of sacred Tungabhadra  below the BhavyaDivya Neela Brindavana through their inward eyes. Rayaru is Blessing them with a smile. This is nothing but the SANKALPASIDDHI by the Anugraha of Mantralaya Rayaru.

Santatam Chintaye Ananta Antyakaale Visheshataha

As our Sri Madacharyaru has told that always we must be remember Sri Hari and especially at the time of our last  breath. By pronouncing the stotra understanding correctly our devotion will be increased, the culture of Bhakti will lead to cordiality and magnanimity in all our undertakings. So let our heart be always be thinking about Sri Hari Vayu Guru Sri Madhwaru and Mantralaya Rayaru.

Nodele Manava Kondaadu Gurugala Paada
Eedu Illavo Punyake !

We are under the  kind shelter and the protection Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu observe and celebrate Dhanurmaasa - THE DAWN OF THE GODS.

Vaikunthha Ekadashi  and Mukkoti Dwadashi also comes in Dhanurmaasa. The grandeur of celebration at the Sannidhaana of Sri Hari is special and unique in its own way. Dhanurmaasa marks the going to the light from the darkness. The notice of the commencement of Uttarayana Kaala. So we all have to get up too early when the stars are still shining at the sky, complete of Praatarrvidhi - snaana - sandhyavandana. Perform the  pooja- alankara - Naivedya  - Hastodaka and Mangalarati accept the swami prasada early. Mantralaya Yatiraat Gururaat Sri Raghavendrateertharu has described the importance of Ekadashi meticulously. The grandeur of Vaikunthha Ekadashi at the abode of Tirumala Swami Sannidhaana cannot be described in mere words. One should actually attend, enjoy and fill the joy and the devotion. Mantralaya Rayaru has given his heart to the vaibhava of Kulaswami Sri Venkateshwara. On this day Sri Narayana - Sri Hari Vishnu acquired all the female power STREESHAKTI to kill the asura Mura and killed on Vaikunthha  kadashi only. Sri Laxmipati Sri Venkateshwara Sri Srinivasa to Bestow the Boons to the devotees  HE IS RESIDING ON THE TOP OF TIRUMALA. Devotees we have all seen the VAIKUNTHHA DWAARA IN  ANANDANILAYA. On the day of Vaikunthha Ekadashi all the thirty three crores of Gods Devatas enter temple of Lord Srinivasa  ANANDANILAYA through this door VAIKUNTHHA DWAARA and straight they go to the Garbhaalaya and avail the Darshana of Sri Hari Srinivasa and pray. Whole night they stay there only. Early in the morning Brahmeemuhurta sharp at about 3.30 am Dwaadashi which is very famous as MUKKOTI DWAADASHI means all the thirty three crores of Devatas they take the holy dip in Swamipushkarinee. Again they enter the Garbhaalaya of Swami and offer the Naivedya of Mudganna HUGGI and accept the prasada of Swami and then with gratitude and satisfaction they return to Vaikunthha.

Vairaagya Bhakti Satwaadiprada Indriya Vashapradam
Venkataadrow Shuchi Kshetre Ashuch Dosho Na Vidyate

At the top of the seven hills owing to the Divya Sannidhaana of Sri Srinivasa SriHari, automatically Vairaagya will be filled in our heart with devotion and all the Pancheindriyaasa will be fully under the control. So therefore there is no Ashuchi Dosha and Malige Dosha in Venkatadri.

Tasmaat Venkatanathasya Bhukshesho Graahya Uttamaha
Tena Kshemam Prajaanaam Hi Vipatreeto Viparyayaha

So dear devotees it is always good to accept and eat the Prasada of Swami which we receive after the Darshana without fail. If we refuse to accept the Swamiprasada, something will happen which we do not like.

When all the Devatas are desiring this auspicious occasion means what about ourselves. We devotees always aspire, desire to take the holy dip in front of Sri Varaahaswami temple - SWAMIPUSHKARINEETEERTHHA. We all enter the Garbhaalaya of  Sri Srinivasadevaru through this VAIKUNTHHA DWAARA only on this Vaikunthha Ekadashi. Owing to the thirty three crores it is popular as MUKKOTIDWADASHI. VAIKUNTHHA EKADASHI  and MUKKOTI DWAADASHI are the two faces of a coin. Very holy and sacred.

Devotees of Sri Raghavendrateertharu begin their daily routine during this Dhanurmaasa right from Brahmeemuhurta and participate in the pooja, samsthhaanapooja by our paramahamsa H.H. Sri Subudhendrateertharu of Sri MoolaRamadevaru Naivedya Hastodaka Mahamangalarati. Though the cold is severe the devotees follow the Niyama of  Dhanurmaasa completely. On the day of MUKKOTI DWAADASHI the Aradhana of our 14 th Paramahamsaru H. H. Sri Surendrateertharu a great scholar, Aparokshagnyani, Yogi Maanasapoojayogi Tapaswi performed the Seva of Sri MoolaRamadevaru for  long seventy years, meticulously developed the Vidya Matha in all respects. When ever Swamiji found something good immediately He used to offer the same to Sri MoolaRama and thus gained abundant Yogasiddhi Yogadrushti. Sri Surendrateertharu’s contribution to our Vidya Matha is abundant and unforgettable. Though swamiji lived and travelled in Tamil Nadu, Visited Hampi Anegundi the islanmd consisting of Brindavanas( at that time it was not called by NAVAVRU DAVANA), enjoyed the sacred events of Ramayana and offered his Regards to Kishkindha. Added  to this performed the Pooja of our Moolamahasamsthhaana Sri MoolaRamadevaru on the bank of Tungabhadra in Anegundi, a spacious rocky bed ( Dadada Haasubande). It is highly memorable that our Swamiji met Sri Vyasarajaru and felt happy to know the Janmantaras of  Paramahamsa Sri Vibudhendrateertharu and Jitamitrateertharu as Sri Vijayeendrateertharu and his successor Sri Sudheendrateertharu and Sri Vyasarayaru himself will be the successor of Sri Sudheendrateertharu will take the Avataara of Raghavendra. So the visit of Hampi is of great importance in our Dwaita Peethha parampara. We are really amazed to know the Mahima of Sri Surendrateertharu that these three great Swamijis Daivee Chetanas are his shishyas successors. The long period of  seventy years Sri MoolaRamapooja is a great record. With the Upavaasa  of 21 days - three weeks travelled the length and the breadth of our country. BHOOPRADAKSHINAM

Yaschakaaropavaasena Tri Vaaram Bhoopradakshinam
Namaha Tasmai Namo Yateendraaya Sri Surendra Tapaswine

It is a Boon to our Vidya Matha that all the Paramahamsarus Blessed by Laxmi and Saraswati. Thus developed the Mantralaya Matha meticulously. The wordings of  Aparokshagnyani Sri Vijayadasaru and Uttanooru Sri Gopaladasaru had become true.

DINA DINAKILLI ATISHAYAVE AAGUVDU.

It is quite interesting that when we start describing about our Yativarenyaru all the Yativarenyarus achievements are remembered with gratitude in chains and we are Blessed.
