SRI RAGHAVENDRA MAMA DEHI KARAAVALAMBAM
MANTRALAYA BHAKTAAHA NA LIPYATE PAAPAIHI

The devotees of Mantralaya Rayaru are completely free from all the evil effects of sins, owing to the kind care and the protection of Rayaru. The devotees will acquire prosperity in life and also Mukti Moksha at the end. Mantralaya devotees daily routine is to remember the magnanimity , the affection, the kind care and the concern of  Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru.

Devotees Sankalpa of Mantralaya Yaatraa - Rayaru's care and  the meaning of the Eleventh  Shloka of KARAAVALAMBAM are described in Mantralaya(527).


Meaning

Mantralaya devotees are completely busy in the sacred routine of Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanarya kruta Sri Raghavendrateertharu's Gurustotra Pathhana - Pooja - Seva and the Yaatraa. Surrendered Kaayaa, Vaachaa and Manasa to Sri Hari Vayu Guru Acharya Sri Madhwaru and Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu. The Chaaturmaasa Vrutaacharana towards Naivedya - Hastodaka and our Peethhadhipati Paramahamsaru Parama Pujya Sri Subudhendrateertharu's Chaaturmaasya Deeksha in Vara Mantralaya is also very near. So Adhika Aashaadha - Nija Aashaadha are of great importance and welcome the grandeur of Shraavanamaasa. We can say the tight schedule Daivee schedule of Satvika Sajjana Mantralaya devotees devotion is recharged and thus enhanced. The Bhakti purassara Vaibhopeta Upaasana of Sri Panduranga Vithala from Aashaadha Shuddha Ekadashi to Pournima - Prathhamaikadashi to Pournima at Pandharapur the Sannidhana of Naada Brahma is a feast to the devotees. Pandharapur Sri Vithala Sri Hari is blessing.

Sri Hari - Sri Narayana  - Sri Vishnu  -  Badari Narayana is blessing the devotees in four Places in India in this Kaliyuga.
 
(1) As Annabrahma Udupi Sri Krishna 
(2) As Naadabrahma Pandharapura Sri Panduranga Vithala
(3) As Kanchanabrahma- Tirumala Sri Venkateshwaraswami
(4) As Darshanabrahma Gadag  Sri Veeranarayanaswami

At this juncture it is appropriate to remember the Pandharapura Yaatra of our Mantralaya Rayaru. Sri Prahladarajaru with intense care and devotion listened the advice Upadesha of Sri Devarushi Sri Naarada Maharshi. That Prahladarajaru is our Sri Vyasarajaru became the Guru of Sri Purandaradasaru - Purandaradasaru is none but the Avataara of Naarada Muni.Sri Prahlada - Sri Vyasarajaru took the Avatara as Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru. Sri Vyasarajaru and Sri Purandaradasaru stayed in Hampi on the bank of Tungabhadra which is famous and popular as Pampakshetra.Purandaradasaru lived at the Sannidhaana of Vithala for a long time and the Purandaradasara Kamba in the Vithala temple stands as a witness.Aparokshagnyani Sri Raghavendrateertharu amazed to remember all this in Pandharapura and the affectionate relationship of Haribhaktas and the magnanimity of Devarshi. Actually Sri Naaradaru who has Swon the seeds of Bhakti on this Bhooloka. Our Dasaryarus found the Bhaktimarga through the devotional songs of immense literary values and transformed the heart of Sajjanas, made a great change in society.Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru is for our Uddhaara since a longtime more than 343 years.

Sri Haribhaktara Sanga Sambandha Anubandha
Runaanubandha Yettaninda Yetta Jeevaatma Sambandha !
Sri Harisarvottamatva Dangura Saaruva Satvika
Sajjana Sadaachaara Susheelaradu

On the day of  Sunday Aashadha Shukla Chaturthhi Sri Susheelendrateertharu the 34th. Pontiff 's  Aradhana in Hosaritti and on Thursday Shashthhi the Aradhana of our 24th Pontiff Sri Varadendrateertharu Celebrated in Pune and Kasaba Lingasugur with grandeur as per the high tradition of our Moolamahasamsthhaana Mantralaya Matha by our beloved Parama Poojya Yativarya Guruvarya Sri Subudhendrateertharu.

I wish to share an extraordinary Miracle of Mantralaya Rayaru to a devotee during the time of our Parama Poojya Sri Sushameendrateertharu. The devotee strictly followed the wordings of Sri Appanacharyaravataari Sri GuruJagannathadasaru in all walks of life:

NAMBI KETTAVARILLAVO EE GURUGALA
NAMBADE KEDUVARUNTO

The devotee family man working in a office for his livelihood through Anusandhaana feeling that he is in Mantralaya. Once he desired to go to Mantralaya, immediately he started his journey to Mantralaya, he could not control himself of going to Mantralaya. No reservation nothing that too in the eleventh hour. Reached the station, the train is ready to leave, no time even to buy the ticket. When he came near the bogie the sleeper coach TTE asked him to board immediately, he boarded explained the TTE that he has not purchased the ticket, no time to purchase, the TTE was so kind that do not worry, a sleeper berth is vacant, I will allot you that one. Asked are you to Mantralaya ? Replied yes. The devotee felt gratitude to Rayaru and offered thanks to TTE. Comfortably he slept. Tungabhadra station (now Mantralayam Road) came. He came out of the station. Bus was ready, along with that autos, taxis were all there. A taxi called the devotee and asked him to sit and said that he will take to Mantralaya. Asked in which Chhatra you are going to take the room. Devotee said a lodge. Straight away after covering 14 kms. The devotee was soon in front of the lodge in Mantralaya.Took his luggage entered the lodge and kept near the Manager's counter and came out to pay the money to the taxi. But the driver was not there. Searched for him, but could not found. He disappeared in an unusual way without taking the charges from the passenger. He then met the manager of the lodge and said from today I will be in Mantralaya for two days please allot a room and said his name. The manager took the register to write the devotee's name. Room was already reserved in the register. Then the devotee took his purse to pay the money. But the manager told that some body came and has already reserved the room and paid the rent for two days. The devotee was really amazed to know the series incidents  for his Mantralaya Yaatraa. Could not speak out - simply rooled the tears on his cheeks. Prabho Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumare how kind and affectionate you are ! I desired to come to Mantralaya you have made all the arrangements one after the other, right from train to Mantralaya lodge. Simply shed tears and went to Tungabhadra took a holy dip. Chanting Sri Raghavendra Gurustotra entered the Garbhalaya. Thrilled with joy and devotion towards the Divya Darshana and performed Shira Saashtaanga Namaskara to Sri Raghavendrateertharu engaged in the Pradakshina. Our Gururayaru's Pradakshina fetches the Punya - Siddhi immensely.

Gururaat Raghavendrasya Ekaikasmin Pradakshine
Sapta Dweepa Mahee YaatraPhalam Vindati Maanavaha

Mantralayadali Bhaktiyali Vande Vandu Pradakshineya
Salise Bhakutarige Sapta Dweepadai Suttuvarida
Ee Bhoomandala Yaatreya Sakala Punyateertha
Punyakshetra Yaatreya Mahaphala praapti !

Our Gururaat Yatiraat Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu is so great Punyavantaru that Sri Krishnavadhootaru has described in Sri RaghavendraTantra that Devotees performing the Pradakshina of  Sri Raghavendrateertharu's Brindavana in Mantralaya with great devotion will acquire the Punya Phala - the benefit of all the Yatras of this world (Sapta Dweepa Mahee Yaatra Phala). Secondly 702 Sri Laxminarayana Saaligraamas are on the Uttamanga of Rayaru. 12 Saaligraamas of same time in one place will form a Punya Kshetra. Where as here 702. More than 58 Punyakshetras Phala is in Mantralaya. So we are all today after Mantralaya and in Mantralaya completely surrendered in the Seva of  Gurustotra Pathhanna - Brindavana Pradakshina - Namaskara - Mruttika Paana and acquire the Purnaanugraha of Mantralaya Rayaru.

During Pradakshina Parama Poojya Sri Sushameendrateertharu asked the devotee, you have come today only for Mantralaya. Everything is fine by Rayaru ! Do not worry. Please come for Prasada  Hastodaka where the Alankara Brahmins take Hastodaka. Hearing this from Sri Swamiji the devotee felt that this  is all the Blessings of Rayaru. Bhaktaanugraha Premi Gururayaru is always in favour of devotees - when the devotee is coming for darshana, took all the care, provided the comforts. For this I always quote that our Bhakti must be Maarjaala Bhakti. The kitten are care free as the mother cat is taking care for all the time. The devotee started saying:

NIMMANTHHA KARUNILLA
