Vijaya kavacha

Shri kalluru subbannacharya is the author of this work. Subbannacharya was a famous scholar, renowned for his discourses on nyaya sudha. He treated haridasas with disrespect, considering them as pretenders who mislead ordinary people.

Once subbannacharya was in a dilemma since the cook who was supposed to provide the dishes for the lunch arranged in honor of his sudha discourse absented himself with very little notice. However, shri vijayadasaru came there, disguised as a cook and ensured that the function did not stop. Later when people recognized vijayadasaru, he humbly requested subbannacharya to continue with his discourse. But subbannacharya, who was furious, refused to do so; he heaped insult after insult on the calm vijayadasaru, who heard him out patiently.

Finally, when things reached a head, vijayadasaru looked around and saw a water-carrier. On questioning, it was obvious that the carrier was unlettered and a total stranger to the shastras. Vijayadasaru put some akshate (colored rice used for devotional purposes) on his head, and holding him by hand, asked him to lecture on the nyaya sudha! Wonder of wonders, a scholarly discourse flowed from the lips of the water carrier! In addition to delivering a superb lecture, he even highlighted the portions that subbannacharya himself was not sure of, and clarified all the doubts that the latter had! As soon as vijayadasaru removed his hand, the water carrier relapsed to his true self. Subbannacharya was wonderstruck, and truly humbled by the experience.

The divine spark in him was awakened, and in a flash he recognized the greatness of vijayadasaru. He immediately fell at his feet, and with tears in his eyes, begged his forgiveness. He realized the foolishness of his ways, and requested vijayadasaru to accept him as his disciple. Vijayadasaru sent him to another disciple of his, panga nama dasaru, who in turn initiated subbannacharya into haridasahood and gave him the ankita of ‘vyasa viththala’.

Sloka to chant while performing pradakshine

Pradakshinam is a ritual done by every Hindu on a daily basis , while visiting a temple or doing a pooja. Pradakshinam has to be done at temple in such a way that the god is always on the right side (Dakshina) of your body. Hence the name “Pra-Dakshina

ಯಾನಿ ಕಾನಿಚ ಪಾಪಾನಿ ಜನ್ಮಾಂತರ ಕೃತಾನಿಚ
ತಾನಿ ತಾನಿ ವಿನಶ್ಯಂತಿ ಪ್ರದಕ್ಷಿಣ ಪದೇ ಪದೇ

yaanikaanicha paapaani janmaanthara kruthanicha
thaavithaani pranashyanthi pradakshina pade pade

Meaning:

This Sloka says that Pradakshina will distroy all sins. Pradakshinam is a way to bow down to the Aathma residing inside your physical body. By doing so all your sins are cleansed. It also helps you to be feel the presence of divine energy with in you.

DEVOTIONAL · Eating · everyday · MADHWA · slokas

Sloka to chant while eating

Eating is an essential everyday activity, which is required in order to live. It is God, who has created each and every thing.

Food, hunger, living beings, all of them form the part of God’s creation.

ಬ್ರಹ್ಮಾರ್ಪಣಂ ಬ್ರಹ್ಮಹವಿಃ
ಬ್ರಹ್ಮಾಗ್ನೌ ಬ್ರಹ್ಮಣಾ ಹುತಮ್ |
ಬ್ರಹೈವ ತೇನ ಗಂತವ್ಯಂ
ಬ್ರಹ್ಮ ಕರ್ಮ ಸಮಾಧಿನಾ  ||

“Brahmaarpanam Brahma Havih Brahmaagnau Brahmana Hutam,
Brahmaiva Tena Gantavyam Brahmakarmasamaadhina”

Meaning:

A practice of offering is Brahman, the religious offering is Brahman, the device of offering is Brahman, and the fire (hunger) to which the offering is made, is also Brahman. For such a one, who abides in everything (Brahman), by him alone Brahman is reached”.

This Shloka implies that god is everywhere, in the food, inside the devotee and even the hunger is God. So, devotee is taking the food (God) to the hunger (God). To summarize, we always thank god for his divine grace.

Dakshina Mantralaya – papparapatti

The Brindavana of Sri Guru Raghavendra at Papparapatti is known as Dakshina Mantralaya. Papparapatti is a small village in Tamilnadu  between salem to bangalore highway.

Location

it is situated about 13 kms from Dharmapuri,  NH 7.

Significance

 Sri P.R. Srinivasa Rao was looking after the Varadaraja temple activities in the village town papparapatti.

Sri Srinivasa Rao had a series of misfortunes. All the children died one after the other. The family was very saddened. Finally Srinivasa Rao’s wife; Smt Giriamma, delivered a boy, who survived. But the child was suffering from an stomach ailment from birth.They took the child to a famous specialist in Chennai. The doctor thoroughly examined the child. His findings was very disappointing. He said that the ailment had become very chronic and expressed his helplessness to cure the child. Being a great devotee of Sri Guru Raghavendra he advised the parents to go to Mantralaya with the child and seek the blessings of the Divine Guru.

Accordingly, the child’s father, Srinivasa Rao, his wife Giriamma and his sister-in-law (Sri Krishnamoorthi(elder brother’s wife) went to Mantralaya. There they performed seva for two months. The parents became nervous as they could not see any outward changes in the child’s condition. Srinivasa Rao thought of going back home to Papparapatti . Accordingly he sent a telegram to his brother Krishnamoorthi informing about their return programme. He started making preparations for his departure the next day.

In Papparapatti , Krishnamoorthi was making preparations to leave for Mantralaya. He was not aware that his brother and family on the other hand were making preparations to come back from Mantralaya to Papparapatti . He had not received the telegram sent by his brother from Manatralaya about his departure.  Krishnamoorthy went to bed early to start for Mantralaya the next day.  In the early morning hours on the day ,Krishnamoorthy had a dream. In that, an old Sanyasi  appeared before Krishnamoorthy rao and told him “I am coming to your place”. Then he disappeared. Krihnamoorthy Rao woke up. He immediately contacted the scholars and friends there and seekedt their advice. They said “The message of the dream is clear. You need not go to Mantralaya. Instead Sri Raghavendra Swamiji is coming here. You construct a Brindavana here.”

There was great happiness all over. The people of Paparapatti and around were thrilled to hear that Sri Guru Raghavendra Swamiji had blessed them by his presence  in their midst. The brothers got together, and decided to construct a Brindavana in Papparapatti itself. They resolved to set apart suitable lands for the upkeep and maintenance of the temple,. The very same night, in Mantralaya, Srinivasa Rao’s wife Giriamma had a dream. In that an old man approached Giriamma and gave her a broom and a mora (normally used for collecting the swept waste etc. from the ground). The lady could not understand the meaning behind the dream; whether it was auspicious or not. She was very apprehensive and upset and wanted to know the significance of the dream. She got clarification from the Archaka, Vedavyasacharya who performed the pooja for the Brindavana.

Sri Vedavyasacharya explained to her that the dream conveyed a very positive meaning. It meant that the stomach ailment the child was suffering from would be cured; as a matter of fact literally swept away. True to his words, the child purged in the afternoon, and became free from the ailment. 

The grateful Srinivasa Rao with his wife and child took the permission of the Peethadipathi Sri Sri Suyameendra Teertharu Swamiji and came back to Papparapatti .

Preparations started for construction work of the temple. Two of the brothers went to Bangalore to contact a sculptor for carving  the Brindavana.

The sculptor was already working on an order from another party for preparation of a Brindavana. It was almost ready. Just a day before the two brothers came to him with their requirement for the Brindavana, the sculptor got a dream. In that an old man ordered the sculptor “You hand over the present Brindavana that is constructed to the two persons coming to you tomorrow. Do not worry about the earlier order. It will take more time for installation of that.” Next morning, the sculptor was amazed to see the two brothers who came to him as mentioned in the dream wanting a Brindavana.

He immediately offered to hand over the Brindavana to them. Not only that, he even transported it by train to Pallakkadu Railway station and delivered it to the two brothers for installation with great devotion. 

The eldest brother Sri Achutha Iyer and a team of devotees, set upon the holy task of bringing the Mrithike from Mantralaya. Accordingly, they went and entreated upon the Peethadipathi of Mantralaya Temple,for Mrithike. The swamiji, was happy to oblige the devootees. Accordingly, after the due prayers and procedures, Swamiji removed the Mrithike to hand over to Sri Achutha Iyer. What a wonder! Everyone there was astounded to see a Saligrama appear along with the Mrithike. The overjoyed devotees not only got the Mrithike, but a holy Saligrama along with it. It was something unique to indicate that the Brindavana at Papparapatti had a very special grace. It was a pointer to indicate the splendour that it would be. Sri mutt swamiji conveyed that Papparapatti is going to be like another Manthralaya; now acclaimed as Dakshina Mantralaya.

In 1996, After the brindavana prarhishtapana at Dharmapuri,the swamiji arrived in Papparapatti and stayed for two full days. He performed puja, panchamrita, archana, deeparadhana etc. to the Brindavana of Sri Guru Raghavendra and the other deities there. In his pravachana he announced that the temple in Papparapatti would develop into a famous pilgrimage centre and will be foundly called as Dakshina Mantralaya.
