PrahladaRaayaru  was an epitome of  #Bhakti , unconditional  #faith  and  #surrender  to the  #SupremeGod   #HariSArvottama  in the form of Lord  #LakshmiNarasimha . As fate would have its say,  #Holika  was reduced to ashes &  #Prahlada  remained unscathed by the flames due to his utmost faith and devotion on Lord  #Vishnu  and with the grace of Lord  #SriHari . #PrahladaRaayaru  always believed & had utmost & unstinted faith in  #HarisArvottama   #SriManNarayana  who protected him every time from the hardships of his father  #Hiranyakasipa . Same faith percolated down in all his incarnations,  #SriGuruRaayaru  is no exception to this dictum. Same way all of us should have utmost faith & trust in Sri  #GuruRaayaru  who is  #BhavarogaVaidya ; panacea for all illness. If and if only one surrenders at the lotus feet of  #GuruRaaghavend...

  Shankukarna   took his second birth as Bahlika Raja in Dwapara Yuga and was born in Kuru Vamsa. He was the son of Pratipa and brother of Shantanu (father of Bheeshmaachaarya). Bahlika was a great devotee of Lord Sri Krishna, but still had to associate with Kouravas in the Kurukshetra war because of his alliance with Bheeshma and Dhritharastra. BAhlIka was a very pious king in dvApara yuga, due to circumstances beyond his control he ended up fighting against the pAnDavas. He wanted to die at the hands of BhIma so that he could take future births and serve him (Hanuma-Bheema-madhva) and so challenged him to a fight, though BhIma was reluctant to hurt a devotee of the Lord. He was ultimately slained in the war at the hands of Bheemasena (Vaayu Avathara) in the divine presence of none other than Lord Sri Krishna. Shankukarna is Vishnu parivaara Devatha, Padmakalpa Srishti, having visesha Vaayu saannidya whose lineage is our beloved Sri GuruRaayaru (Mantralaya Guru Saarvabhouma ...

Had Prahlada Raayaru been selfish and returned back to Vaikunta when he was called by none other Bhagavantha in the form of Lord Narasimha what would have happened?   पूज्याय राघवेंद्राय सत्यधर्मरताय च। भजतां कल्पवृक्षाय नमतां कामधेनवे॥ But, Prahlada Raayaru didn't do that. He politely refused and instead preferred to stay back on earth propagating the divine culture and bhakti of ParamaAtma SriManNarayana. Sri Prahlada Rayaru is Bhakti-Vibhootiroopa of Bhagavanta; Sri Krishna says in Bhagawadgita that He is Prahlada among the devoted; He is one of the greatest devotees of Vishnu; Parama Bhaagavatottama; He (Shankukarna) is Vishnu Parivaara Devata having visesha Vaayu aavesha. Sri Guru Raayaru is an incarnation of Bhakta Prahlada (Prahlada Raayaru) whose Apratima Vishnu Bhakti has been mentioned by Sri Madhvacharya in his scripts; ShankukarNaakhyadevastu  bramhashapaachcha bhootale | Prahlaad  iti vikhyaato bhoobhaar kshapaNE ratah | sa eva  R...
