There was a query at my Twitter handle https://twitter.com/bhargavasarma

Q. I see chandanam is offered to Raghavendra swamy in Mantralayam. Is there any relationship between Simhachalam and Mantralayam. (in the context of Akshaya Thruteeya)

A. My answer...

According to Kshethra Mahaatmya, #Simhachalam temple is believed to be in existence since the days of Krutha Yuga. This unique and combined form of Lord Vishnu’s two incarnations’ viz. VaraAha and Naarasimha (both belonging to Krutha Yuga) got manifested at this place,

as per prayers & request (wanted to have darshan of Vishnu’s dual avatharas) of #Prahlada for whose sake Lord #Vishnu incarnated as #Narasimha. According to Sthalapuraana, Prahlada was the first person to construct a temple for the Deity and conduct rituals at Simhachalam.

Mantralaya GuruSaarvabhouma Sri #RaaghavendraSwamy is an incarnation of #Parhlada.

Even otherwise Shastra says, on the day of Akshaya Thruteeya Lord Vishnu to be worshipped with Gandha lepana seva. In the mandate of Vishnu pooja, His parivaara (Devatas) are also worshipped as per Taratamya.

Sri Raghavendra Swamy is an incarnation of Shankukarana (Prahlada-Bahleeka - VyasarRajaru - Raghavendra Swamy) a parivaara devata of Lord Vishnu. Not only at Mantralayam, all His Brundavanas across the world would be adorned with Gandhalepana seva.

Moreover, Sri Raghavendra Swamy Brundavanam at Mantralayam is a unique one, where, there is visesha sannidhana of the Supreme God Hari Sarvottama in the form of... > Rama, Krishna, NaraHari, VedaVyasa, > Sri Madhvacharya along with > Sri GuruRaayaru; Therefore, worshiping, adoring Sri Raghavendra Swamy of #Mantralayam, all Deities mentioned gets pleased. There is no doubt about it.

Sri GuruRayaru is an instrument chosen by all DEvatas to bless and fulfill the wishes of devotees.
