Mantralaya-628:The importance of Jeeva Dhaarana in Rayaru's Geeta Vivrutti and the meaning of 12th. Shloka of KARAAVALAMBAM

Background

Dear Devotees : Namaskara.

ANTARANGAVANARITA ANTARAALADA BANDHU MANTRALAYA
KARUNAALU NIMMA VALAVU OUDAARYAKE MANTRAMUGDHARU
NAAVU MANTRALAYA BHAKTARU.

Pandit Sri Narayanacharyaru has meticulously described the great qualities of our Manatralaya Rayaru in Sri Raghavendra Vijaya Mahakavya:

Chitte Cha Yena Mrudutaa Shireesha Sadrushe Hyangaveenam Shilaa
Gambheeryam Yadiyasya Soamdhuradadhihi Shaastreshuchet Paanditee
Acharyo Vibudheshituhu Kalayate Vidyarthhitaam Aadaraat
Oudaaryam Yadi Kalpapaadapamukhaaha Sambhaavayante Arthhitaam

The heart of our Rayaru is so soft like Shireesha pushpa that even the fresh ghee recently heated pure butter may be hard, but Rayaru is too soft and sophisticated with the universal love, affection and kind concern towards the world devotees. Gaambheerya the style of seriousness cannot be compared to the ocean. Ocean will appear like a well. The Shaastra Paanditya of Sri Raghavwendrateertharu is so great that even Sri Bruhaspatiacharya desires to learn from Rayaru and become his student. We only pray ask our Rayaru always to fufill this one and that one always. The magnanimity of Rayaru Oudaarya is so high and great like Kalpavruksha the five trees of Kalpavruksha are : Mandaara , Paarijaat, Santaana, Kalpavruksha and Harichandana. All the five divine qualities are in Rayaru so too liberal in sanctioning and fulfilling the requests of the devotees. Rayaru is also Kamadhenu Chintamani. So kind and always top in the list of Dayaloos.

The most Sacred and Punyakara Chaaturmaasa has commenced from Aashaadha Shuddha Ekadashi and concludes on Kaarteeka Shuddha Ekadashi. It marks the beginning of Dakshinaayana. Complete four months Chaaturmaasa Vruta Aacharana is the Sadaachaara of our Acharya Sri Madhwaru Sri Anandateertha Bhagavatpadacharyaru. To protect our health and to improve the noble qualities of Satvika to wipe off Raajasa and Taamasa, we follow Vruta Aacharane in Chaaturmaasa. We offer the same to Naivedya, Vaishwadeva and Hastodaka.

Shraavane Varjayet Shaakam Dadhi Bhaadrapade Tathhaa
Dugdham Aashwayuje Maasi Kaarteeke Dwidalam Tathha

From Aashaadha Shukla Dwadashi to Shrravana Shukla Ekadashi , Vegetable, Coconut and Banana are not allowed for Naivedya - Hastodaka.

From Shraavana Shukla Dwadashi to Bhaadrapada Shukla Ekadashi, Curd is not allowed is not allowed for Naivedya - Hastodaka.

From Bhaadrapada Shukla Dwadashi to Aashweeja Shuddha Ekadashi, Milk is not allowed for Naivedya and Hastodaka,

From Aashweeja Shukla Dwadashi to Karteeka Shuddha Ekadashi, Pulses are not allowed for Naivedya - Hastodaka. Dwidala Dhaanya Vruta. Perhaps this is a difficult Vruta compared to the other Vrutas as Pulses are completely forbidden.

Mantralaya devotees follow this Vrutaacharane with great enthusiasm as a part of Acharya Sadaachaara. Our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu followed this Chaaturmaasa even during Purvashrama. The Goutamagotra Shaashthheeka Vamsha Beegamudre family's nobility are all beyond our description.

The importance of Jeeva Dhaarana in Rayaru's Geeta Vivrutti and the meaning of 12th. Shloka of KARAAVALAMBAM are described in Mantralaya(628).

Meaning

The thick gathering at the sannidhaana of Naadabrahma on the sacred bank of Bheema which is famous as Chandarabhaaga as per the shape is our Pandharapur the sanctimonious Vithala Sri Panduranga Vithala and the grandeur of Bhakti caanot be described in words owing to Gurupournima - Aashaadha Hunnime.

On this auspicious day of Chaaturmaasa MRUTTIKA SANGRAHANOTSAVA Programme in Mantralaya is an important occasion to the Devotees of Mantralaya. The collected Mruttika and placed on the top of our Rayara Brindavana is Sarvswa to us:

SRI RAGHAVENDRA GURUPAADAJALAM KASHAAYAM MAATROTTAMAAM
GURUSHIROGATAMRUTTIKAANCHASEVE SADAASAKALAROGANIBRUTTI
HETUM SAMPRAAPYA SADGUNANIDHIM GURURAGHAVENDRAM.

Water mixed with Mruttika is Gurupaada Jalam, that is a medicine, that is a mixture of Medicinal quality and values. Mruttika is Holy and Sacred as it was on the top of our Rayaru, on the head of our Rayaru - Guru Shirogata. By taking Mruttika with strong faith and belief we will be free from all the diseases - Seve Sadaa Sakala Roga Nivrutti Hetum and we will acquire the Anugraha of Mantralaya Rayaru - Sampraapya Sadgunanidhim Guru Raghavendram

So huge quantity of Mruttika is required to all the world devotees. This will suffice for complete one year till the next Aashaadha Hunnime.

Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru is the only universal kind saint. We are amazed to the magnanimous style of blessing all the devotees of the world irrespective of caste, creed, religion , nation, gender and age.

Parama Karunaamurty Vishwada Yella
Bhaktara Bandhu Oudaarya Premada Aagara Saagara
Namma Mantralaya Rayaru.

Each and every statement of Mantralaya Rayaru is universally acceptable.Right now regarding The acquiring of Prasada and Aparokshagnyana are meticulously described by our Sri Raghavendrateertharu in Geetavivrutti. We are amazed to look at the broad outlook and the magnanimity of our Gururayaru.

Sri Krishna Paramatma's Geeta Shloka - Vivrutti - Geetavivrutti by our Mantralaya Rayaru:

ADHIGACHCHHATEETI ||

Those who have given up Raaga Dwesha too much of love and hatred for them only it is possible , to claim the victory of our Indriyas. Control and Command on our Indriyas will follow automatically. So the first and the foremost thing is RAAGADWESHA Vivarjita means once for all give up Raaga Desha - too much of love and hatred. Then only our mind and heart will obey the orders of Atma ! Without making any inconvenience to Atma the victory of Indriyas has to be attained through Kaayaa - Vaachaa - Manasaa. Observance of fasting it means Upavaasa will lead to the end of this body. So instead of observing strict upavaasa without taking any food, it is always better to take the food just to maintain our body and health to carry on the routine of Devataa Kaarya Pooja and Seva. The bare requirement of food is to be consumed to well shape our health to indulge in the Seva of our God given body and not to enjoy and relish the desire of our tongue.We Must have control on our tongue. Our intake is only to the maintenan e of our body.

DEHADHAARANA MAATROPAYUKTA VISHAYAANUBHAVO NA DOSHAAYA

Atma Dandana, punishing our soul is not sane and proper. For the well being of our body and to protect our health when we accept VISHAYAANUBHAVA it is not fault. Our routine, action and deed should be in the framework of Sadaachaara. Limited in take of food is advisable to resume our routine in proper religious activities is explained in detail by Mantralaya Rayaru in GEETAVIVRUTTI. Our Rayaru is too kind and magnanimous. Thinks a lot about the satvika sajjanas and the devotees of Mantralaya. Sri Hari Dhyaana, Anugraha will lead to Aparokshagnyana to the satvika sajjanas. Mantralaya devotees are always in the Seva Anusandhaana Smarana of Mantralaya Rayaru. Rayaru always resides in the heart of such devotees and taking care time to time. Sri Raghavendrateertharu is fully aware of the importance of human life Maanava Janma.

MAANAVA JANMA BALU DODDADU

Sri Raghavendrateertharu clarified the importance of Dehaarogyapaalana and Hita Mita Aaahaarasevana. We take the Teerthha of Sri Hari three times and one time Paadodaka of our Mantralaya Rayaru which is in the seprate glass.

1) PRATHHAMAM KAARYA SIDDHYARTHHAM
2) DWITEEYAM DHARMA SAADHANAM
3) TRATEEYAM MOKSHAMAAPNOTI
YEVAM TEERTHHAM SADAA PIBET

First one to attain success in our undertakings. Second one is for Dharma Saadhana and the third one is to attain Moksha. With these sacred feelings we accept Teerthha of our Swami Sri Hari Vayu Gurugalu with devotion. SO IT IS FAMOUS AND POPULAR AS TEERTHHA- PAADODAKA - PRASADA. The Satvika Sajjana Mantralaya devotees are confident that they will attain all the above three by the Anugraha of Rayaru.

It is interesting to know that Sri Shankara Bhagavatpadacharyaru has prayed with devotion in the ANNAPURNA STOTRA:

ANNAPURNE SADAAPURNE SHANKARA PRAANAVAALBHE
GNYANA VAIRAAGYA SIDDHYARTHHAM BHIKSHAM DEHI CHA PARVATI

Pray Bhikshaa to Sri Annapurnamma to acquire knowledge and Vairaagya. Eating is for the better purpose neither for taste nor for enjoyment. We have to accept with gratitude to Annapurnadevi. Food is for survival. For food only we should not live.

To offer our Seva to Sri Hari Vayu Gurugalu and to attain Knowledge, Vairaagya and proper attention and Bhakti the intake of food that too limited HITA -MITA to maintain our body and life. Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu universally meticulously explained in Vivrutti - Geetavivrutti
