Mantralaya-638

(The Siddhi and the Punya of Rayaru’s Deergha Akhanda Japa Nirata Spot of Mantralaya and the Bhavya Nirmaana of SHILAMANTAPA)

Date : Oct 7, 2015

Background

Dear Devotees : Namaskara.

Yo Antaha Pravishya Mama Vaacham Imaam Prasuptaam
Sanjeevayat Akhila Shaktidhara Swadhaamnaa
Anyaam Cha Hasta Shravanagaadeen
Praanaan Namo Bhagavate Purushaaya Tubhyam.

This is the famous shloka of Bhaagavata. Sri Hari - Sri ManNarayana pleased to the intense Tapa of Baala Dhruva in the thick forest and offered pratyaksha darshana. The joy and the happiness of Baala Dhruva knew no bonds! He desired to praise but owing to the devotional ecstasy could not speak out, stood before Sri Vishnu like a dumb. Kind Hari immediately with great affection touched His Shankha to the cheek of Dhruva. The famous shloka spontaneously overflowed. By the mere sparsha - touch of your shankha, I became active and the whole body is fully charged towards right action, in the right direction, that is like Sanjeevini. You are so great and kind I HERE BY OFFER MY REGARDS TO LORD SRI  VISHNU.

In the same way the Gnyana - Bhakti - Vairaagya of Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru is at its supreme and superb. Today Mantralaya Matha is meticulous in all respects. As per the Ghanate of our Rayaru the construction round the Praakaara is spacious, comfortable and accommodate large abundant number of Devotees. Added to this the Shilaa Mantapa work has begun, instead of existing the walls we will have Bhavya Divya Shilaa Mantapa. The grandeur of beauty is unimaginable.

We are amazed to the Upaasana of Udupi Sri Krishna of our Mantralaya Rayaru. As soon as we enter the main door of Matha left and right we see Rayaru and Sri Krishna blessing affectionately. We forget our present world and float altogether to a divine loka:

Manthhaana Krishna Pratima Souvarnee Sarva Siddhida
Upaasya Raghavendrayaihi Aghanaashana Keertibhi.

During the Chaaturmaasa at Udupi Rayaru placed an order to make the gold Pratima of Manthhaana Sri Krishna. Worshipped with utmost devotion. By the Upaasana of  Krishna  Manthhanakara Krishna all the Yantras of Sarvasiddi - Santaana and Bheeti Yantras etc. are made Abhimantrana and Siddhi is filled by Rayaru. The same tradition is continued by all the Peethhadhipatis even today.

Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharyaru has composed this prose meticulously

SURAKULA KALIKALITAAN ATI SRI RAMAAKANTHAPAADABJALOLAMBEE
LEELA LASAT CHITTA  YOGEESHWARA SHRESHTHHA JAGEEYAMAANA
ATI BHAAVORUKEERTI PRABHAA BHAASURA AJAANDA VAASTAVYA
BHOOLOKA LASAT DIVYA TUNGABHADRA NADEE TEERA VAASA
RAMALOLADASA GUNAANAM NIVAASA JAGATPAALADASA
SUVIDYA VILASA BUDHANTARNIVESHA LASAT PANDITESHA

The Siddhi and the Punya of Rayaru’s Deergha Akhanda Japa Nirata Spot of Mantralaya and the Bhavya Nirmaana of SHILAMANTAPA are described in Mantralaya(638).

Meaning

The high waves of Tungabhadra are forceful, beautiful and  Mangalakara ( auspicious). Our Mantralaya is situated on the sacred bank of this river which is equal to the Sarayu river of Ayodhyaa All the holy Brahmains and Acharyas are residing in the most sacred and famous Mantralaya.

Here below the Bhavya Divya Neela Brindavana our Adhidaiva Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru is residing and performing the Akhanda Deergha Japa of Sri Hari to Bless us and protect us. Rayaru is Deergha Japarataru

JAYANTEEVRUTATATPARARU                      
ALWAYS KURYAAT DHRUVAM MANGALAM.

Only the Punya of several Janumas - births it is possible to be in the Seva of Mantralaya Rayaru and to visit Mantralaya. Such a sacred and holy is our Mantralaya. Round the Praakara of Rayara Moola Brindavana the magnificent and meticulous construction has added glory and enhanced the beauty with ample facilities and amenities. Looks like the Amaravati. The construction of Shilaamantapa plan is quite suitable. The existing present walls place only the Shilaamantapa will be constructed. Work has already begun speedily and the work is in fast progress. The design of the Shilaamantapa is the Divine Siddhi Saakaara and the greatness of our Sri Raghavendrateertharu. Japa Rata Place is the center of Siddhi, Bhavya and Divya. In Krutayuga Sri Prahladarajaru performed several Yaagas here only. Aparokshagnyani Rayaru knew all this ! Today we are amazed to look at the progress of developmental activities in Mantralaya.

Rayaru left the bank of Kaveri the temple city of Kumbhakonam and came to Adoni. Diwan Venkanna the dearest shishya of our Rayaru affectionately welcomed. Nawab of Adoni Siddi Masoodkhan highly impressed by our Rayaru became a devotee.Through Venkanna Rayaru accepted Mantralaya by the Nawab of Adoni. This is known to all. This Deergha Akhanda Japa Nirata place is full of Siddhi. In Tretaayuga Sri Ramachandra and Laxmana came to Mantralaya in search of Seetadevi. At that time took some rest on this spot only. In Dwaaparayuga after the great war of Mahabhaarata Pandavaas were worried about the sin of Samhaara Dosha. Sri Krishna suggested to perform Ashwamedha Yaaga to wipe off all the Doshas. TheYagnyashwa was allowed to go to all the kingdoms. As per the schedule The Horse of Yagnya is to be honored and presentations are to be given to the people behind the horse. If at all they object the horse to move and tie, they have to make a war with the people behind the horse. Here on course of time the horse came to Mantralaya and Anusaalva simply tied the horse and did not allow to move further. Arjuna was with the horse. Fought bravely but could not defeat Anusaalva. Arjuna amazed faced several Atirathha Maharathhas but not able to defeat Anusaalva. Prayed Immediately Sri Krisahna Paramatma. Became Pratyaksha within no time. Sri Krishna said change the place. The place on which Anusaalva is standing and facing you is full of Siddhi and Punya, you cannot defeat him here now. So Sri Krishna made Anusaalva to go back some 200 meteres away from the siddhi spot. Then Arjuna fced bravely ans soon defeated. Accepted all the presentaions and with honour got the horse back. Our Mantralaya Rayaru’s Japarata place is Mahimapuna and  Siddhi, So Mantralaya is too holy and sacred by the Paada Dhooli of Sri Krishna and Arjuna as we say Nara Narayana. The Vijayanagara Emperors highly impressed towards the Bhakti Gnyana Vairaagya of our Moolamahasamsthhana Sri Madhwacharya Peethhaadheeshwara and Poorvaacharya Paramahamsa Sri Vibudhendateertharu and offered Mantralaya as a gift. It is heartening to know that H.H.Sri Vibudhendrateertharu performed Japa Anushthhaana on this sacred spot for a long time residing in Mantralaya. Mantralaya was actually ours. After the fall of Vijayanagara Empire it was in hands of the Bijapur Aadilshahi. Now Venkanna we have taken the possession of Mantralaya through your kind efforts from the Nawab of Adoni SiddiMasoodkhan. Diwan Venkanna amazed to know all the important details, because of this our Sri Raghavendrateertharu was keen in obtaining the Siddhi Mantralaya, though it is hilly, Sandy and situated on the bank of Tungabhadra. Diwan Venkanna simply fell on the lotus feet of Rayaru and said now his life had become meaningful. Performed the most wanted - desired work of our Rayaru. How kind and great you are our Gururayara ! Words fall short to praise you towards the great concern of Manukula Lokoddhaara. Always Jaya Victory is definite by Mantralaya Yaatraa - Darushana - Seva of our Mantralaya Rayaru.

Guro Tava Padaambujam Bhava Payodhi Noukaayitam
Mahajana Paramparaa Bhajana Gocharam Bhootidam
Bhajaami Bhajataam Nrunaam Bahu Aghadowgha Vidhwmsakam
Sukhapradam AharNisham Sukha Sukehena Samsiddhidam
RAYARA KERUNEGE YENEYILLA BHAKTARE !

Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru's Lotus feet are like a ship to cross this ocean of our Samsaara Bhava Saagara. Great Noble Chetana Paramparas Praise and gratitude are filled in your Paadakamala. So we Pray and Surrender to you to completely  destroy all the ill deeds Paapas. Day in and day out Aho Raatri happily do the best and the finest Siddhi Vruddhi Samsiddhidam.

The pronunciation of Mantralaya Mantralaya itself is of great Siddhi Samruddhi Punya to our Mantralaya devotees. MANTRA + AALAYA = MANTRALAYA. HOUSE OF MANTRA SIDDHI MANTRA.Our Rayaru’s Vaasa Aavaasa is here only.

Mantram Tae Mantralaya Dhaaman Bhuvi Japtuhu
Paatu Paadambho Laghu Nashyati Ati Dukhkham
Swamin Bhooman Bho Gururaja Sakalam Kurvanukoolam.

As a Mantra the world devotees today pronounce, chant and perform the Pathhana of Mantralaya  and Om Sri  Raghavendraaya Namaha  with devotion.

By  performing this Pathhana  we devotees acquire the Anugraha of our Mantralaya Rayaru and all the miseries and the sorrows will be vanished soon. Swami Guru Raghavendrateertharu will make everything favorable. Provide comfort in all the  walks of life and in all the spheres of our day to day life.

Mouna Vruta Priyo Mounee Mantralaya Krutaalayaha
Maangalya Beeja Mahimaa Mandito Mangalapradaha

Our Kind Yatiraat Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu is in Mounavruta, observing silence. Always engaged in the Akhanda Deergha Japa of Sri Hari to do the Best Possible to the Devotees. For the sake of this Noble Task only Sitting below the Bhavya Divya Neela Brindavana in Mantralaya and made  Mantralaya as His own House to Bless and impart Success in all our endeavors to the world devotees, irrespective of caste, creed, religion, nation, gender and age. Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru is the only special Saint of this in this universe.

It is really appreciable to have the Shilamantapa round the Siddhi Place of Japa Rata Rayaru. The magnificent grandeur of Shilamantapa is quite agreeable to the great divine personality of our Sri Raghavendrateertharu.Below the Bhavya Divya Neela Brindavana a Garbhaalaya is made by Rayaru himself of 6x6 and its height is upto 8 feet. Round the cave Guha Garbhaalaya stone wall was built so that the water should not seep. Rayaru planned all this bearing in mind of 700 years. Sat on a wooden plank which was covered with krishnaajina, started the pronunciation of OM OM OM OMKAARA and instructed the shishyas to close the Garbhaalaya. Whole Mantralaya was echoing the Pranava Japochchaara of Rayaru. Vayu Aavesha Rayaru is Sukharooparu below the Brindavana. In the Brindavana 702 Sri Laxminarayaa Saligramas Mruttika - Narahari Rama Krishnavedavyasaru Acharya Madhwaru - Temple of Sri HariVayu Guru Madhwaru. Shilaamantapa Nirmaana is quite appropriate to the Divinity of our Adhidaiva Aaradhya Sri Raghavendrateertha Guru arvabhoumaru. Our Saint is extraordinary:

DEVATEGALIVARIDAKE SANDEHA BEDA
Smruti Maatrena Santushtam Prasiddha Karunaa Nidhe
Prasanno Bhava Tae Poojaam Yathhaa Shakti Karomi Aham
