Bhikshaalaya Darshana-10

(JAPADAKATTE)

Date : 24 Aug 2006

Background

Bichchale Sri Appanacharya’s Gurustotra, the affection  of Mantralaya Rayaru,  the firm faith of Appanacharya and the last days  at the JAPADAKATTE are described in  this SACRED SERIES of Bhikshaalaya(10).

Meaning

Sri Raghavendra Gurusarvabhoumaru-Mantralaya Mandira under the divine shelter of  Sri Manchalemma is protecting the devotees of this universe.  A Great Sri Hari Bhakta Mantralaya Rayaru is spreading Sri Hari Sarvottama-Vayujeevottama and  is distributing the abundant punya acquired by the blessings of Sri Hari. Only for the sake of this noble cause Sri Raghavendraswammigalu left the temple town of Kumbhakonam which  is situated on the sacred bank of Kaveri and came to Manchale which is situated on the bank of Tungabhadra. The acquaintance of Sri Rayaru made Appanacharya a great devotee of Rayaru . Gururaya always desired to see Appanacharya and was frequently visiting Bhikshaalaya (Bichchale) and spent the time on the sacred JAPADAKATTE, very adjacent to the Tungabhadra river. We can say as SATSANGA.

Mantralaya Rayaru’s most favourite Bhakta Sri Appanacharya has understood and realised Rayaru, as he was always near and dear since the arrival to Manchale. Fully surrendered with gratitude and composed Stotra,Kavacha and Mangalashtaka. Submitted with devotion to Rayara Brindavana. Appanacharya’s samarpana bhaava to Mantralaya Rayaru cannot be excelled by anybody.

As per the desire and order of Rayaru Appanacharya did the pratishthaapana of Shila Brindavana on the JAPADAKATTE. Appanacharya spent all the time at the JAPADAKATTE,seva, hastodaka to the Brindavana, always remembered Rayaru and PRONOUNCING  OM SRI RAGHAVENDRAYANAMAHA.  In the heart of Appanacharya we can find Rayaru just as Sri Rama is in the Heart of Hanumanta (PranaDevaru).

Bichchale Sri Appanacharya’s Gurustotra is very dear to Rayaru. Crores of devotees in the world today chant (pathana) the Gurustotra  of Appanacharya. This stotra is echoing in Mantralaya. Almost all the devotees chant this stotra at the time of seva,pooja including the archakas of Rayaru. Those who chant will get siddhi, good health and success in all their works. Rayaru is the saakaara of sarvaswa anugraha of Sri Hari. So dear devotees let us all do the pathana of Sri Gurustotra regularly and remember Bhikshaalaya Sri Appanarya with gratitude for the great master piece. Appanacharya Gnyaani, learned,scholar,pratibhaashaali (man of high imaginative power), kind, able and above all a devotee of Rayaru and the pioneer of Madhwa Sanchara.Appanacharya has done the  magnificent work. His name is always remembered. His name is always evergreen in the history of manukula. So devotees please come to Bhikshaalaya Mantralaya.

JAPADAKATTE is in Bhikshaalaya the native place of  Appanacharya. Sri Rayara Shila Brindavana is on the sacred JAPADAKATTE. There we can find UgraNarasimha of Sri Sripadarajaru, Prana Devaru of Sri Vyasarajaru, Sri Shesha Devaru of  Sri Jitamitraru. The whole sanctum is guarded by the Sheshas. So dear devotees please come to Bhikshaalaya and see all this. Pay homage to this sanctum and the noble personality of Sri Appanacharya. What an amount of punya he has made in his lifetime that He was with Rayaru. Even when Rayaru was in Brindavana he got the sanction to the Great Rayara Stotra : Saakshi Hayastotrahi. Appanacharya also got the darshana of Rayaru in Brindavana at Mantralaya. Really a great devotee of Mantralaya Rayaru. Bhikshaalaya Appanacharya’s name will always shine like Dhruva Nakshatra.

Bhikshaalaya Sri Appanacharya is as remembered as we remember the architect of Mantralaya Diwan Venkanna.... will be continued  in the next Mantralaya series
