Continuation of describing power of Sri Vijaya Dasaru and devotion Sri Vijaya Dasaru towards Rayaru in Mantralaya(1040).

Meaning

In the last Mantralaya Series we saw the previous birth of Sri Vijaya Dasaru as Sage Bhrugu Muni , Sura Leela Kapi in Treta Yuga, Yadava Nikampa  In Dwapara Yuga. Later part of Dwapara Yuga born as hunter, becoming the cause of the end of Sri Krishana avatara, in Kaliguga Sri Vijaya Dasaru was born as calf in the house of Sri Purandara Dasaru, later again born as son of Sri Purandara Dasaru, Madhwapati. After that born as Dasappa as son of Srinivasapp and Kusama. We also saw how Subbannacharyaru became Vyasavittala Dasaru and the vision of Sri Vijaya Dasaru to see all 7 Janmas.

Sri Vijaya Dasaru during his journey defeated Rama Shastri in the debate. Rama Shastri requested to give him Madhwa Diksha. Sri Vijaya Dasaru requested his Kula Guru Sri VadendraTeertharu to bestow Madhwa Diksha to Rama Shastri in Mantralaya.

Sri Vijaya Dasaru is the reason why we read Hari Khatamruta Sara. As you all know Srinivas Acharu became Sri Jaganatha Dasaru because of Sri Vijaya Dasaru. Sri Vijaya Dasaru blessings on Sri Gopala Dasaru made Sri Gopala Dasaru to give half of their lifespan to Sri Jaganatha Dasaru, we will cover this in a separate series.

Sri Vijaya Dasaru was a great devotee of Sri RaghavendraTeertharu.  Sri Vijaya Dasaru while doing Desha Sanchara (visiting holy places) spreading Hari Daasa Sahitya decided to visit Mantralaya to take Darshana of his Guru Sri RaghavendraTeertharu. Sri Vijaya Dasaru came to Mantralaya. Dasaru first went to Tunga River, took a holy bath there. Next visited Goddess Manclemana and Sri Pranadevaru. Then Dasaru started towards Mantralaya Sri Rayara Brindavana. As Dasru was approaching the Sri Rayara Brindavana Dasaru felt divine amazing positive energy. When Dasaru stood infront of Brindavana, Dasaru didn’t see the Brindavana stone, what he saw was Sri Rama, Sri Narahari, Sri Krishna and Vedavyasaru along with their entire family. Dasaru saw Sri Hanuma, Bhima and Madhawa Rayaru worshiping Lord. Dasaru saw Brahma and Shiva along with their family. Dasaru saw Jayateertharu near Madhawacharya chanting Niya Sudha. Tears of joy rolled from Sri Vijaya Dasaru with devotional ecstasy.  Sri Vijaya Dasaru saw Sri RaghavendraTeertharu as a bright sun with a smiling face offering regards to Lord. Dasaru saw the entire Kailasha, Brahma Loka, Vaikuntaa and the entire universe of Gods in Rayaru Brindavana.
Sri Viajaya Dasaru with joy composed the song Nodide Guru Gala Nodide,  the most famous Rayaru song. This song depicts what Sri Viajaya Dasaru saw in the Brindavana and gives us a glimpse of how future of Mantralaya. Here is the meaning of the song

ನೋಡಿದೆ – ಗುರುಗಳ ನೋಡಿದೆ
ನೋಡಿದೆನು ಗುರುರಾಘವೇ೦ದ್ರರ
ಮಾಡಿದೆನು ಭಕುತಿಯಲಿ ವ೦ದನೆ
ಬೇಡಿದೆನು ಕೊ೦ಡಾಡಿ ವರಗಳ
ಈಡು ಇಲ್ಲದೆ ಕೊಡುವ ಗುರುಗಳ
I saw the Brindavana of Sri Rayaru and saw Rayaru there. With utmost devotion did Namaskara to Guru galu. Asked for wishes/boon to Sri Rayaru who is known to give things that devotees ask

In the past,  in this beautiful Thungabhadra river, where current Rayaru Brindavana is there, Sri Prahaladaru performed many powerful and holy Yagnyas. In this place Lord Narashima Devaru appeared many times to bless Prahaladaru after each Yagnyas. Due to the extraordinary vision, Rayaru knew previous birth facts and selected this place for his Brindavana. In front of Satvika devotees (pure hearted) entered the Brindavana. In this Brindavana Guru Sri RaghavendraTeertharu is always indulged in deep meditation of Lord. Guru Sri RaghavendraTeertharu is shining like a bright sun in this magnanimous Brindavana.

Here, Sri Hanuma, Bhima, Madhawaru resides along with the original form of Sri Vayu Devaru. In the same way numerous Sages and Acharyas reside here permanently in their original form. These Sages and  Acharyas are continuously receiving knowledge about Sri Hari from their elders and teaching that  knowledge to those who are younger as per Taratamya in this Brindavana. In this Kaliyuga Sri Rayara Brindavana is the main source to remove the accumulated darkness within us and surrounding us and glitter the knowledge nectar within us.

ಸ್ತೋಮಗಳ ಮಸ್ತಕಾದ್ರಿಗೆ

What a beautiful sense I am seeing here, starting from the front going clockwise I am seeing Sri Narashima Devaru next on side Sri Ramachandra Devaru, in the back Sri Krishna Devaru and on the other side Sri Vedavysa Devaru. I am seeing Prahaladaru , Bhalikaru,Vyasa Rajaru and RaghavendraTeertharu worshiping Sri Narashima Devaru,Sri Ramachandra Devaru, Sri Krishna and Sri Vedavya Devaru. Rayaru is shining like a Vajraudha (powerful weapon of Indra) to those mountains of negative energies. In this birth or many births to come for those who worship Sri Rayaru , Rayaru will be Kalpavruksha, Kamadhenu giving us what is best for us.

ನೂರು ಪರ್ವತ ವರುಷ ಬಿಡದಲೆ

ಸಾರೆ ಕಾರುಣ್ಯದಲಿ ಲಕುಮೀ

ಸಾರಿದವರಘ ಕಳೆದು ಇವರಿಗೆ

Vijaya Dasaru now sees the future vision for the next 700 years. Dasaru says that Sri RaghavendraTeertharu will reside in Brindavana with his body alive in yoga mudra for 700 years. Every day we are going to see magnificent ceremonies, festivals(Utsavas) in Mantralaya with great devotion. Every week there will be new ceremonies, festivals(Utsavas). Lord Narayana is residing here in Chakra Rupa. Lord will fulfill the wishes of devotees who pray to Mantralaya Rayaru and removes all bad karma (papa) giving that glory to Sri RaghavendraTeertharu

ಮಿತವು ಎನದಿರಿ ಇಲ್ಲಿ ದಿನದಿನ
ಕತಿಶಯವೆ ಆಗುವುದು ಭೂಸುರ
ತತಿಗೆ ಭೋಜನ ಕಥಾಶ್ರವಣ ಬಾ

ಕ್ಷಿತಿಯೊಳಗೆ ಮ೦ಚಾಲೆ ಗ್ರಾಮಕೆ
ಪ್ರತಿಯು ಇಲ್ಲವೆ೦ದೆನಿಸಿಕೊಬುದು
ಪತಿತ ಪಾವನ ವಿಜಯವಿಠ್ಠಲನ
ತುತಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ ಮೆರೆವ ಗುರುಗಳ               || ೫ ||
There is no limit to Mahima of Sri Rayaru. Everyday Mahima of Rayaru will increase exponentially.  Millions of people will eat divine food that is offered to Sri Rayaru, every day there will be vedic chants, talks, speeches of Sri Bhagavata, Geeta, MadhwaCharyaru, Jayarayaru works. In the entire universe Mantralaya is going to be the famous divine place and there will be no place which will be equal to Mantralaya.

As we can see in the above composition , Sri Vijaya Dasru has clearly given what to expect in Mantralaya for the next 700 years since Rayara Brindavana. Now we celebrate the 351th Aradhane of Sri Ryaru. For the next 349 years we expect the things to happen that are being described by Sri Vijaya Dasaru.

One important information that Rayaru Devotees need to underscore is that Rayaru has been alive with this body in Brindavana for 700 years. Devotees like Vijaya Rayaru who saw the entire universal God, Goddess in Rayara Brindavana have clarified this fact.

My father Sri Raghvendra Patwari used to tell me an incident proving that Sri Rayaru is alive in Brindavana. Once Sri Vijaya Dasaru wanted to offer Hastodaka to Sri Rayaru in Mantralaya. Dasaru was standing closer to Brindavana with great devotion. Cook brought the Hastodaka, Sri Vijaya Dasaru asked him to wait. He waited for a long time and then Sri Vijaya Dasaru offered the Hastodaka to Sri RaghavendraTeertharu. Later after lunch , the cook came to Dasru and asked “Dasa Gurugale, why did you ask me to wait so long”? Sri Vijaya Dasaru responded , in Brindavana Rayaru was performing Moola Rama Devaru pooja and once that was completed I offered Hastodaka. Hence I asked you to wait. 

We can visualize the glory and power of Sri RaghavendraTeertharu by looking at the glory and power of his Bhakta, devotee Sri Vijaya Dasaru. You can find Vijaya Dasara Katte in Chippagiri, in Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh. Nearest railway station is Guntakal Station.

It is amazing to know how Rayaru gave the entire picture to Sri Vijaya Dasaru when Dasaru saw Mantralaya Rayara Brindavana. Rayaru showed Dasaru, Sri Maha Laxmi along with 5 Rupas of Sri Lord Narayana, Vayu Devaru, Brahma, Shiva and their family along with all great saints and Yatis. Rayaru also bestowed the vision to Sri Vijaya Dasaru to see what is going to happen in future. We are highly grateful to Sri Vijaya Dasaru for this song composition which depicts Rayara Brindavana as Vaikunta

We are highly blessed that we are born in the era of Sri RaghavendraTeertharu’s Brindavana stay time. We should be grateful to our parents, grand parents, gurus and friends who have introduced the Bhakti towards Sri Sri RaghavendraTeertharu

The devotion towards Sri Raghavendrateertharu is the ultimate truth and is the most simple and effective way to reach to Sri Hari  - "NAMBI KETTAVARILLAVO EE GURUGALA"!
