MAHAABHISHEKA OF SRI MOOLARAAMA DEVARU (Mantralayam)

 श्री मन्मूलरामो विजयते

ಶ್ರೀ ರಾಘವೇಂದ್ರಾಯ ನಮಃ

Traditionally, abhisheka of Moola Rama Devaru is performed only on two days in the calendar. The first is Chaitra Shuddha Navami, the day Bhagawan Vishnu incarnated as Prabhu Sri Ramachandra, and the second is Balipadyami, celebrated on Kartika Shuddha Pratipath.

As mentioned above, abhisheka for Moola Rama is performed only twice a year. Since this happens only once in six months, this event is associated with a lot of grandeur and radiance. This is something that needs to be experienced and cannot be explained by mere words.

By performing abhisheka on these two exact dates, the Matha honors the two most pivotal milestones of the incarnation: His Appearance (Rama Navami) and His Sovereignty (Balipadyami). Experientially, this spaces the two grand ceremonies roughly six months apart, filling the Matha with immense spiritual radiance twice a year.

Sri Vaadeendra Theertharu, an aparoksha jnaani, composed several great works; one such work is "Raghavendra Matha Gatharchagatikrama."

This work provides rich details of the Vigrahas (idols) worshipped in the parampare of Sri GuruRayaru. Obviously, it provides a lot of details about the Sri Moola Rama Devaru vigraha. This short work has 36 slokas.
