Guru Saarvabhouma Sri Raghavendra Swamy (Mantralayam) Pattabhisheka Dinotsavam - Phalguna Sukla Dwiteeya
Phalguna
Sukla Bidigi (Dwiteeya) is the day the sacred name, the powerful taraka-manthra
Raghavendra took birth and it was in the year 1621 A.D. of Durmathi Naama
Samvatsara, second day of the bright fortnight. It was on this day Sri Raghavendra
Swamy (Sri Venkatanatha Poorvaashrama Nama, of Sri Rayaru) took Sanyasa Deeksha
from his Guru Sri Sudheendra Theertharu and ascended the throne of Dvaita
Philosophy founded by the great Saint and Philosopher Sri Madhvacharya. This
day of Phalguna Sukla Bidigi is celebrated as Sri Guru Saarvabhoumara
Pattabhisheka Dina. Starting from this day special celebrations will be held at
Mantralayam the seat of Sri Raghavendra Swamy Moola Brundavana, for a period of
seven days up to Phalguna Sukla Sapthami the day Sri Rayaru was born.
It was all through a royal lineage in which Sri Rayaru was born with his three previous incarnations all hailing with a rich Royal background. Sri Prahlada was an Emperor; Sri Bahlika was a Kuru King and brother of Shantanu and Sri Vyasa Rayaru though a Saint, ascended the throne of famous Vijayanagara Empire for a brief period during the time of Sri Krishna Devaraya. Even Sri Raghavendra Swamy (Sri Raghavendra Theertharu) though did not rule any Kingdom was known as a Guru Saarvabhouma of Vedanta Saamraajya.
Sri Raghavendra Swamy took
his Sanyasa Deeksha at Tanjavur (Tanjore) in Tamilnadu and was honoured by the
King of Tanjavur Sri Raghunatha Bhoopaala. After Sanyasa Deeksha Sri
Raghavendra Swamy moved to Kumbhakonam and from where conducted his divine
pursuits. Since then and even today there is no looking back and the name Raghavendra
went on to become very popular by heaps and bounds like a Taraka Nama. Today
Raghavendra is a preferred house hold name especially in South India where we
find at least one of the family members’ with that name.
Name is like a manthra (sacred
incantation) in itself. A right kind of manthra would yield better
results. Every letter in a name has a
meaning. A correct name makes one highly
successful. His (Raayara) Ashtaakshara manthra Om! Sri Raghavendraya Namah is highly
meritorious and God gifted. Very few names in the history become popular, everlasting and
match up to the expectations of their given names. One such name in the recent spiritual
history of Hindu religion which is very popular, powerful, mesmerizing, considered
as a remedy, a healer, a consolation, which people will be longing to recite is
RAGHAVENDRA that of Mantralaya Guru Saarvabhouma Sri Raghavendra Swamy
popularly called as Sri Rayaru undoubtedly the most acclaimed Saint.
