“V†for Vijayeendraru –

1. Birth Name – Vitalacharyaru

2. Ashrama Name – Vishnu Tirtharu

3. Danda Changed Name – Vijayeendra Tirtharu

4. Victory

in 64 vidya - Vijayeendra Tirtharu was well versed in 64 Vidyaas –

Chatu: Shasti Vidya, and he had his victory against all his opponents

in all fields. That is why he is called as “AjEya†(Never Defeated).

 

 

 

Sri

Vijayeendra Teertharu saved Madhva Siddhanta from a very real and

serious threat of extinction in South India, during the 16th century.

Hence the followers of Madhva Siddhanta should always remain grateful

to the memory of Sri Vijayeendra Teertharu’s great personality. He was

a master of all arts. He was master in all 64 vidyas. That is why he

was called as “Chatu:Shasti Vidya Praveenaâ€. When Appayya Deekshitaru,

a renowned Advaita Vidwan, challenged about Madhwa Shastra, Sri

Vijayeendraru single handedly, defeated him in all sets of arguments

which run into many many years and finally Appayya Deekshitaru accepted

his defeat.

 

Birth of Vijayeendraru

- When an old couple approached Sri Vyasarajaru, he blessed them that

they shall have two children. Even the old couple themselves were

shocked to hear that they are going to get a child at their old age.

After some time the old couple had two children, whom they named as

“Vittalacharya†and “Guruprasadaâ€.

 

Vittalacharya became Vishnu Theertha -

Sri

Vyasarajaru arranged for the “Choula†and “Upanayanam†for

Vittalacharya. He also taught him “Tarka, meemaamsa, Vedanta Shastraâ€.

At the age of 8, when Sri Vyasarajaru was satisfied with the Vairagya

of the child gave him Sanyasashrama and named him as “Vishnu Theerthaâ€

 

 

Sri Vishnu Theertha became Sri Vijayeendra Theertharu :

Sri

Surendra Theertharu was a saint from Sri Vibudendra Theertha Mutt

(Earlier Rayara mutt was called as Vibudendra Theertha Mutt only before

rayaru). Once he visited Sri Vyasarajaru and there he saw Vishnu

Theertharu. Sri Surendra Theertharu was searching for his

uttaradhikari. He asked Vyasarajaru for a gift of Vishnu Theertha,

which Vyasarajaru readily agreed and gave him to Surendra Theertharu. Sri

Surendra Teertha was extremely happy to get Sri Vishnu Teertha as his

disciple and made him sit on the throne of Srimad Acharya succeeded

previously by Sri Vibudhendra Teertha. Sri Surendra Teertha renamed Sri

Vishnu Teertha as Sri Vijayeendra Teertha and made him the emperor of

the Vedanta empire.

 

 

Miracles/Victories of Vijayeendraru -

 

Once

Sri Vijayeendra Theertharu challenged every one that any body can test

him over his knowledge of 64 Vidya. He was well versed in all 64

Vidyaas. On his open challenge, many people tried to defeat and

establish their supremacy over him, but none could succeed. Here are

some of the instances wherein he mastered over his Vidya.

1. Defeat of Krishna Sharma

– Soon after his naming as successor for Surendra Theertharu, he had a

long debate with Sri Krishna Sharma, a great pandit, whom he defeated

based on “Bhedha†tatva.

2. Mantrika Vidya - He defeated a Malayaalee Mantrika in Mantrika Vidya

3.Kama Shastra -

When some Brahmins tried to test him over Indriya Nigraha, by sending

some beautiful girls, who did the massage on him, nothing could be

changed in him. He was just chanting “Naarayana Mantra†throughout and

nothing they could done to him.

4. Shilpa Kala Praveenyate -

He showed his expertise in “Shilpa Kala†also by preparing idols of

Ramachandra Devaru, Seeta, Bhoovaraha with candles. He further did many

idiols in metals which are even today being worshipped at Kumbakona

Samstana.

5. Ornaments making -

When an Ornament merchant wanted to test him over preparation of

ornaments, there also he showed his expertise and all the judges

decided that the ornaments prepared by Sreegalu is the best.

6. Devadasi –

When a devadasi wanted to have a “Kama Truptiâ€, Sri Vijayendraru

accepted and asked her to come the next day. Next day, Sreegalu told

one of his servants to just touch a flower on her back, when she enters

the mutt. So did the servant. The devadasi felt fully satisfied, told

that she had fulfilled her kama-pipase and she could not control

herself, she fell there itself. When she got up, she accepted her

defeat and requested the seer to forgive her and bless with Jnaana.

7. Shaiva Sanyaasees defeated -

In Kumbakona, there was the prominence of Shaivaas during that period.

They used to defeat all Brahmin saints, pundits through their Mantra

shakti, panditya, and make them their shishyaas. When Vijayeendra

Tirtharu was on his way to Kumbakona Kumbeshwara Temple, this Shaiva

Sanyaasis were coming in a Pallakki, and so was Vijayendraru in another

pallakki. It so happened that that the Shaiva Sanyaasis who got down

from the pallakki, got up on a nearby wall. The wall was moving with

the mantra shakti, and these shaiva sanyaasis were sitting pretty on

the wall laughing at Vijayeendraru. On seeing this Vijayeendraru told

his servants to remove their hands on the pallakki and the pallakki was

moving without any support. In this way, Vijayeendraru defeated them in

Mantra-tantra shakthi itself.

8. Adhipathya of Kumbakona -After

having been defeated by mantra shakti, Shaiva sanyaasees under the

leadership of Lingarajendra, tried to defeat him over Shastra Panditya.

There also after severe arguments for many days, he defeated them in

all sets of questions and finally they accepted their defeat and

surrendered their entire property to him. In this way, the prominence

of Shaiva in Kumbakona came to an end.

9. Sarovara Dispute -

After Lingarajendra accepted his defeat and went out of Kumbakona, some

of the Shaiva pundits could not tolerate their defeat. They wanted to

have a revenge over the swamiji. They planned in a different way. At

that time, in Kumbakona, all Dwaita-Advaita-Vishistadvaita Brahmins

were living in peace respecting each other’s religion. These Shaiva

miscreants tried to spoil the Brahman-relationship. So they planned an

idea. They told that the “Sarovara†which was lying between Kumbeswara

Temple and Sarangapani Temple belonged to Shaivas and that the Dwaitees

and other Vishistadvaitees do not any right over the Sarovara. They

must never come there. As Vijayeendra Tirtharu was controlling the

entire Dharmadipatya of Kumbakona temples, all three groups, viz.,

Dwaita-Advaita-Vishistadwaita came to Vijayeendraru, who settled the

dispute to the full satisfaction of one and all that the Sarovara

actually belongs to Sarangapani Temple itself, but it can be used by

both the group

 

10. Linga turned Hanuma – Some

Shaiva miscreants unable to tolerate this, stayed outside of

Kumbhakona, after having been defeated. After a few years, they told

that the entire sarovara must be utilised only by Shaivaas. Again both

the groups came to Vijayeendraru for decision. He told them not to

raise unnecessary dispute as it is being used by both the groups. If it

is proved that the Sarovara belongs only Sarangapani, the Shaivaas

could not come there at all. But they didn’t accepted and claimed their

ownership over Sarovara. Hence, Sreegalu told both the groups that “let

us have an search of the Sarovara. If it has more Shaiva proof, then it

belongs to them, however if it has more Vaishnavas proof, they it

belongs to Vaishnava and that the other groups must never claim their

ownership on the Sarovara. They all accepted. These Shaiva miscreants

put many Basava idols and thousands of Linga stones in the Sarovara, a

day before the fixed date for testing the Sarovara to ensure that there

are more shaiva symbols. Next day- Sreegalu came, both the group

leaders also were present to test - to whom the sarovara belonged. Sri

Vijayeendraru throwed some abhimantrita mantrakshate on the sarovara.

4-5 people from each got down the sarovara to see the symbols

available. To the shock of Shaivaas, the sarovara could give many many

hanuma idols and saligramaas. The Basava Vigraha and linga stones which

shaivaas had become Hanuma Vigraha and Saligramas respectively to the

surprise of all. Then every body agreed that the Sarovara is the

property of Vaishnavaas only.

11. Kumbakona – Tanjore

- Tanjavur and Kumbakonam were a replica of the Vijayanagara kingdom,

in the cultivation of the art of dance, music, literature, Vedic

studies and Darshanas (philosophical doctrines). This is the place which Vijayendra Theertharu decided for his Vrundavana. CLICK HERE FOR PDF FILE :-
