RAGHAVENRA is a unique & matchless heritage...
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।
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;
[above sloka from Sri Narasimha Purana indicates/confirms Raajaadhiraaja Guru Saarvabhouma Sri Raaghavendra Swamy's lineage from Shankukarna - Prahlada.]
Worshiping Sri Guru RaAyaru is Hari Preeti; Only such of those who follow
the footsteps of Sri Guru Raayaru will get the Grace of Lord Narasimha;
Bhagawan Vishnu will not get pleased if His devotees are ignored/disrespected;
Several Daasa Sreshtas including Sri Vijaya Dasaru have
worshipped/eulogized the glory of Sri Guru Raayaru. There is no exception that
people from all walks of life including Yatis worship Sri Guru Raayaru and
visit Mantralayam the abode Guru Sri Raaghavendra.
Irrespective of affiliation, Sri Rayaru Brundavans are established and
spread across the country. This itself shows the glory, value and significance
of Sri GuruRayaru.
With so much of sanctity, significance and merits associated with; one
should never resort to dosha chintana; disrespect or abuse or ignore Sri Guru
RaAyaru. Our Saadhana is and should be through RaAyaru only.
His dhyaana/remembrance/aaraadhana/worship should be niranthara....

every second and in

every situation.
Ø Sarvakaala - SarvaAvastha;
For unlearning Vipareeta Jnaana and learing Yathartha Jnaana one should worship
Sri Guru Raayaru;
A well-wisher of society, Sri Raghavendra Swamy is a great divine and
gifted soul destined to provide solace and succor to millions of needy people.
He is...

A helping hand to the needy;

Ø
Bhava Roga Vaidya (doctor of
humanity)

Sri Guru Raayaru is Mr.
Dependable to the common man.
POOJYAAYA the very word itself gives a
sensational feeling of humility and respectfulness towards Sri GuruRaAyaru who
is PoojyaAya; Poojaniiya; He is the one who is venerable, worshipable, worthy
of worshiping;
the one whose name in the recent history of Hindu religion and spirituality
is mesmerizing, highly popular, considered as a remedy, a healer, which people
will be longing to recite;
He is RAGHAVENDRA, Mantralaya Guru Sarvabhouma
popularly RaAyaru undoubtedly D most acclaimed
Saint, verily divine royal lineage. Kaliyuga Kamadhenu, Kalpavriksha; His glory
is everlasting. He should always B adored with utmost reverence; devotion;
faith; obeisance, gratitude.
Today his temples are spread across the country and even abroad with millions of devotees adoring him. Perhaps my words are inadequate to describe Him. One can only feel him rather experience him by his worship.
To describe Guru Rayaru "kEnasHakyate"
naMbi keTTavarillavO ee gurugaLa | naMbadE
keDuvaruMTE"
Prahlada Raayaru always believed & had utmost/unstinted faith in Hari
sArvottama SriManNarayana who protected him every time from the hardships of
his father Hiranyakasipa. Same faith percolated down in all his incarnations
& Sri GuruRaayaru is no exception to this dictum.
Same way all of us should have utmost faith & trust in Sri GuruRaayaru
who is Bhavaroga Vaidya; panacea for all illness.
If and if only one surrenders at the lotus feet of GuruRaaghavendra and
worship/serve Him with all humility, sincerity, devotion and trust, for such,
He (Raghavendra) becomes Kalpavruksha/Kaamadhenu & also bestows upon,
Hari Sarvottama Jnyaana & Hari Bhakti which is Satya, which is Dharma.
Rayaru charitre, mahime, gunastavana never ends; our capacity to describe him is
limited, when our limit is reached we abandon it half way.
Yatha-shakti, Yatha yogyata - Sri GuruRaayara seva
Sri GuruRaajo
Vijayate
Rayaru seva doesn't mean and limited to only doing Pradakshina around His
Brundavana. Spreading the glory, significance and merits of Sri GuruRaayaru is
also Raayaru SEva. Please do it Yatha-shakti.
If Raghavendra Stothra spells out mostly the merits of worshiping Sri
GuruRaayaru, Sri Raghavendra Mangalashtaka describes mostly the glory of Sri
GuruRaayaru. Both composed by Sri Appanacharya are the gems that came out from
his desk a great service to the devout society.
Well within the ambit of Dvaita siddhantha
RAGHAVENDRA
is a unique & matchless heritage.
