Vaadeendra Theertharu (Mantralayam)

 Sri Vaadeendra Theertharu (mantralayam)

Did you know? Sri Vadeendra Theertharu was the great grandson of Sri Guru Raayaru (in his poorvasrama) and He was just two years old when Sri Raayaru entered Brindavana.

Guru Raayaru who had a vision of this child prodigy becoming a saint and his successor in course of time, had kept ready the Brundavana that was originally meant for him brought by Diwan Venkanna.

Adjacent & to the left of Moola Brindavana of Sri Guru Rayaru, we find the Moola Brindavana of Sri VaAdeEndra Theertharu the 5th descendant in the lineage of GuruSarvabhouma Sri Raghavendra Swamy. He belongs to 18th century and His period of Vedanta Samrajya was between 1728-1750.

         

Vaadeendra teertharu openly says that Rayaru is the only choice for all people in this era!! If anyone carefully reads Gurugunastavana, his next course of action will be getting rid of all problems, as well as fulfilment of desires through Rayaru!!

Gurugunastavana is a magnum opus of Sri Vaadeendratheertharu. Verse after verse, Rayaru is extolled majestically in this poem. It is through Gurugunastavana we come to know about how much we are dependent on Mantralaya Guru Sarvabhouma Sri Raghavendra Swamy.

Despite several adversaries, Vaadeendra teertharu composed archaagatikarma which firmly says MoolaRamachandra devaru has been worshipped by Rayaru and his parampara. This clears the doubts of every genuine madhwa and motivates him to show solidarity only towards Rayaru.

ARCHAGATIKRAMA

This work provides rich details of the Moortis' (idols) worshipped in the parampare of Sri GuruRayaru. Naturally it provides a lot of details about Sri Moola Rama Devaru.
