> Sri Raghavendra teertharu is undoubtedly the doyen of Madhva saints and as

Prahlada itself He had shown great devotion and as Sri Vyaasaraajaru and Sri

Rayaru his scholarliness was unmatched.The Saint of Mantralaya is not only on e

of the greates souls that the earth has witnessed but also one of the most

compassionate Prabhus who

> who provided immediate succour to those who approached Him.(Narayana

Panditacharyaru in Raghavendra Vijaya has compared butter to a granite while

compared to that of the softest heart of Sri Mantralaya Mahaprabhugalu).This

great saint in one of His greatest works Pratas Sankalpagadya at the end of the

work says Madaajnaakaaribhih vidyasambandibhih,dehasambandhibhischa tvadeeyaih

asesha janaitvatsarvakartrutva karayithvaadhyusandhaana

> poorvakam kaarishye cha.

> I shall also persuade my subordinates,followers and relatives to carry out

their work in the same way with the knowledge thatyou are the real doer and

cause of all functions and activities.....

> The hero of this article Sri Dhirendra teertharu fitted like a glove to the

above statement since in the purvashrama he was a relative andalso he was a

staunch devottee and follower of Parimalaachaaryaru. Sri Appannachaar had

created a beautiful brindavan for Sri Rayaru and His Holiness said that it was

meant for Sri Vadindraru who was later going to adorn the sarvajnapeetha. It was

this great saint who sung the Guru Guna Sthavana

> praising the works of Sri Raayaru and the whole brindvan shook and flowers

were strewn over Sri Vadindra as a blessing from Raayaru and also the assent and

acknowledgement of the greatness of the work of Sri Guru Guna Sthanvana/ His

brindavan is next to that of Sri Raaghavendra Sri padaru at Mantraalayaa.

Jayaraaamaachaar was the poorvaashrama saint of this great saint and had the

unique distinction of learning

> kavya,nataka,alanmkara,etc. from his illustrious father in his

youth.(Jayaramachar later becomes dhirendraru) Jayaramachaar got maried and

begot 3sons who were also great pandits and a daughter. after leading the life

of a grihasta he was soon becoming a viraktin and a vairagyin and the brindavana

praveshom of Sri Vadindrateertharu further increased the vairagya in Him. He

decided to live a wandering life preaching the tenets of

> dvaita philosophy throughout the lenght and breadth of the country. In a short

course of time he had many followers young and old. Meanchwile the

peethathipathi of Sri Rayara Matha Vasudendra teertharu (His brindavan is at an

absolutely wondeful spot near Kanchenagudda near Adoni and all devotees must

definitely visit this shrine when they go to Mantralayam and enjoy the

peace,tranquility and also the sannitya of Sri Hari Vayu gurugalu

> here) had instructed his successor Sri Varadendraru that Jayaramachaar should

definitely be ordained into monkhood and adorn the pitha. Once at puna the

athuli peshwa had welcomed Sri Varadendraru and honoured Him and a great pandit

Sri Raama saastri came for a worldy duel . regarding tatvamasi and aham

brahmaaasmi. The duel went on for two days and then by divinie ordinance

Jayaramachaar arrived at the scene on His sojourn and the

> swamiji asked Him to continue the vaadaa. Raama sastri was defeated on the

5tyh day but still he said that he was to argue only with the saint and that was

accorded and he suffered defeat. But as the tradition of the olden days he was

not ttreated as vanquished but also honoured. At this juncture also Sri

Jayaramachar refused pitha and went on his sanchara. After sometime the health

of the swamiji failed and He began to worry about

> Moola Raamara pooja . At the time Jauyaramachar was doing seva to Sri Ajaya

Vijendraru at Kumbakonam and he was teaching many pandits there. Hearing to the

anxious plea of the swamiji the ever compassionate Sri Raghavendraswamigalu

appeared in the dream of Jayaramachar and instructed Him to take sanyaasaa and

proceed to poona. Jayaraamaachaar was thrilled beyond explanation of having had

the darshan of Sri Rayaru that too at the spot

> of His paramaguru and again and again paid His reverences to Guru

Saarvabhaumaru and obeyed His command. Hari chinte is too inexplicable and

beyond ones comprehension and when he arrived at poona the swamiji had regained

His health. But this time in 1775 he was ordained into sarvajnapitha as SRI

DHIRENDRA TEERTHARU and again after some time He continued His Holy journey .

In 1785 he entered brindavan at the fort of Hosiriti . After

> 5years He appeared in the dream of one of the disciples and said that He did

not like the present place and wanted to be shifted to the banks of the Varadaa

river nearby. The proposed site was readily gifted by the owner who also had a

similar dream. The message was converyed to Buvanendraru and the process of

shifting started by the poorvashrama son of Sri Dhirendraru. Bhuvanendraru could

not arrive in time since Mantralaya was far

> off. As step by step the brindavan was dismantled the whole crowd were biting

their nails as how the holy deha of the swamiji would be. to the consternation

of all the body was in the same condition and even the fragrance of the gandha

was still present. The who crowd Sri dhirendra ki jai and the procession to the

new spot was taken with veda ghosha and other auspicious musical instruments.

This clearly proves the superiority and

> tapaagni of the Maadhva sanyaasis and their brindavans are not mere tombs but

reverential residentials of the great saints.

 

> Inspite of his incessant travelling schedules the swamiji had contributed much

to dvaita literature. They are as follows:

 

1.Kaarakaavadam.

2.Manyu sookta vyaakyaaanam.

3.Balitta sookta ''

4.Narayana upanishad "

5.Aitreya upanishad "

6.Guru guna stavana " ........... and so on.

His vyaakyaana on guru guna stavana and that of Vasudendraru are real guidelines

to understand the excellent work of Vadindraru.

(This humble soul will try to work upon it after sometime in the list)

 

Dhyaana shlokaa.

Dharani mandale kyaatam dhairyaadi guna brimhitam.

Dikruta asesha vaadeepam dheera simha gurum bhaje.

 

Sri Satya bhodharu.

He was Ramacharya in purvasharama and got deeksha from his guru Srii

Satyapriyaru( A great saint now interned at Manamadurai). The saint had gone to

Gaya and was pained to see the extortion of the pilgrims by the gayavaatis and

changed them and they accepted Madhva shaastraa. Once some people poisoned Him.

Though the saint knew about the same He took it since it was offered to the Lord

but also there is a subtle meaning in this that the

pitathipathi always takes the food first not only to receive any honours but

also to protect their shishyaas. The doctors schecked Him and asked Him to take

food only in the night and He didi accordingly. When people questioned the same

He perforemed the miracle of showing the sun in the night.(Sudindra teertharu

earlier had eclipsed the sun during daytime).

He was a great friend of Sri Dhirendra teertharu and symbolically He also

entered brindavan near the former's brindavan at Varada nadi.Also both the

aradhana day falls in a short span of time.

Sri Dhirendraru on Phalguna shukla triyodhashi.

Sri Satyabhodaru on " krishna pratime.

 

Dhyaana shloka.

naivedyakabavisham raame veekshya tatbhukti bhaagguru.

yo darsayatravim raatrau satya bhodhastu me mude.

 

Sri Satya bhodaru is believed to be an amsa of Markandeya Maharishi and great

souls have strong faith that His blessings ensures Yavana apeksha in moxa. His

succesor Sri Satyasandaru had written Satyabhoda Vijaya in honour of His master.

 

Sri Moola Rama Sri Digvijayaraama preetiyartam

Sri Krishnaarpanamasthu.

 

Yours in the service of Sri Harih.

The vrindavan of Satyabodhatirtharu is in Savanur

town,about 20kms from Hosaritti(where the vrindavan of

Dhirendra tirtharu is situated). I had the fortune

of visiting both these vrindavans this year(February).
