Shri Vyasarajaru

The following pravachana is posted to get some knowledge of our great saint Shri Vyasarajaru. Lecture delivered by Shri Shri Shri Suvidyendra Theeertharu, Bangalore Madwcharya proved that Bhagavantha is paripurna in character. In Kaliyuga Draupadi swarupa means Vedas. To avenge Bhima, the Vedas was misinterpreted. Then Vayu Devaru took the avatara of Madhwacharya and proved that jeevas are dasas of Paramathma, and Bhagavantha is paripurna. He showed that vaidika siddantha is Madhwa siddantha. Vyasaraja’s three granthas are the three eyes of Lord Narasimha. Nyayamrutha has substantiated the theory of pancha bedha. Tharka Thandava has condemned the mayavadhi’s siddhantha. Thathparya Chandrika is the tippani on Brahma Bashya. Vaadindra Theertha has described the above three granthas as three eyes of Lord Narasimha. When Vyasarajaru was offering prayers, Gopala Krishna was dancing in front of him. His devotion was so great. In the prathime even today it can be seen that the left leg is placed across the right leg which is contrary to the usual prathimes. Lord Krishna was dancing in front of Gopikashrees. Lord Krishna liked Vyasaraja as a gopikasthree. The following shlokas are very popular shlokas of Vyasarajaru. “Shriman Madwamatha Hari Paritharaha”. This means that Hari is Sarvothama. For the word Hari there are ten meanings. But I take only two meanings. Hari means Vishnu, Vayu. Yathra Harihi thathra Vayuhu. Thyathra vayuhu yathra Harihi. Para means paripurna. Baghavantha is called as Parabrahma. “Brahma vidhathmako athmopa param. Sathyam jnanamantham Brahma”. Those who have Brahma jnana will be able to go to Para Brahma. The three feet of Thrivikrama are Sathya, Jnana and Anantha. Sathyam means Creator of this World (srushtikartha). It also means Protector of the World. “Sathyam Jagath thathpathaha”. That means Jagath is not vyavaharika sathya but paaramarthika sathya. The parmarthika sathya is the path to reach moksha. “Sathya Jagath Thathpatho Bedahaha” InJagath thahtva, there are three kinds. Jeeva Thathwa, Jada Thathwa, Brahma Thathwa. There are differences from one jeeva to another jeeva. Jeevas are not same. There are differences from one Jada to another Jada. Jadas are not same. But there is only one Brahma. This is the essence of Madhwa siddhantha. In this there are pancha bedhas. Jeeeva/Jeeva; Jeeva/Jada; Jada/Jada; Isha/Jeeva; Isha/Jada. That is jivas are different; jivas and jadas are different; jadas and jadas are different; Isha and jivas are different; Isha and jadas are different. “Jeeva ganaha Hare anuchathaha”. Ganah is plural which means three. In jivas there are 3 gunas viz., Sathwic, Rajus and Thamus. Sathviks always will be going in the upward direction i.e towards moksha. Rajus will be moving from heaven (swarga) to earth (bhoomi) to hell (naraka). Thamus will be mixed with happiness and sorrowness. These Gunas are distributed by Paramathma according to his wishes through Vayu Devaru. “Neechocha Bhavangathaha”. These three Gunas are also having tharathamyas. The experience of swarupa sukha is moksha. Linga deha banga is not parama moksha. Swarupa sukha is the last one wherein sadness or sorrowfulness will not be there at all. That swarupa sukha is moksha. In mukti also there is tharathamya. They are sAyujya, sAropya, sAmipya, sArupya. “Amala Baktihi thathvadhanaha”. That is from karma, jnana is attained, and from jnana bakthi is attained. Our sadhane is bhakti. Prasada is not in our hands. If Paramathma gives prasada then only one can go to moksha. Prasada is His anugraha. From His prasada only mufti is attained. “Akshadi thrithiyam pramanam”. There are three pranamas. They are prathyaksha, anumana, “Akhila Amnayaha Vedyo Harihi”. In every kalpas Vedas do not change. It remains same. But in Puranas there will be some difference from one kalpa to another kalpa. Paramathma cannot be seen from the eyes. But He can be seen through Vedas. Compiled by J.

Sarvamoola Granthagala parichaya

Sarvamoola Granthagala parichaya By Shri Nagendrachar To understand Bhagavantha is a great sadhana. In the ancient days people were reading the shastras. In the younger days itself people were able to understand Bhagavantha in ancient days.. But in the present day, nobody is interested to understand Bhagavantha. When Brahma created all sorts of animals, he was not satisfied. When he created man who is capable of understanding Bhagavantha, he became happy. To overcome the sorrows in samsara, one should read Veda and Upanishads. Sarvamoola grantha covers all the vedopanishaths. Everyone wishes to lead a good life. If we are happy, we can find happiness in ourselves. When we are not happy, we find sorrows in ourselves. When we are happy, we will not think of anything other than happiness. Whoever is in a good position will be always having some pain or the other. Happiness comes due to hard work. In Sarvamoola grantha one can enjoy happiness. Before understanding Sarwamoola Grantha, one has to sacrifice the love towards jagath (world). One should not think of father, son, Gold, etc. We do not know that GOD is as great as Gold. To read Sarwamoola Grantha, vairagya is the requirement. There are thousands of communities or groups in the world. All dharma agree with the concept of GOD. Teekacharyaru has opined that the GOD has sarvothama lakshanagalu or paripurna. Second Chapter: The condemnation of yukti. Mannu (mud) do not speak. 3rd chapter: There is no happiness in vairagya, hell (naraka) or samsara. If one wants to be happy one should understand Bhagavantha. Without vairagya, one cannot attain moksha. Step by step one can reach vairagya. By doing Ekadashi upavasa, by performing chaturmasa, eating only satvik food. The next step is Bhakti. Listen to the GOD’S mahathme. The next step is to find out the ways to posses GOD. 4th Chapter: Aporoksha Jnana. Inside body’s knowledge is understood. After coming to Brahma loka, after bathing in viraja nadi (river), the eternal happiness is obtained. Here in all the Ruthus, sorrow is there. But there only happiness will be there all the time. Whatever is desired, it is fulfilled. The relationship between husband and wife, the relationship between Teacher (Guru) and student (shishya) is eternal. In Moksha one can experience unlimited happiness. For everyone, the chethana itself is the vehicle. For infinite period, one will remain young in moksha. This was revealed by Shri Madwacharya. In heaven (swarga) one lives till the completion of his/her punya period ends. Veda is a very secret subject. This should not be disclosed to ordinary people. Madhwacharya first wrote Geetha Bhashya. From this Grantha we must understand Madwacharya. Sarvamoola Gantha is nothing but moksha shastra. Bhagavantha’s krupe can be obtained by reading Sarwamoola Grantha. First we must follow the principles. Then the reading of shatras must be done. We will not be a burden to Bhagavantha. Bhagavantha is the only person who will be with us always. The reflection of our sins is samsara. Sarwamoola Grantha must be read by pious people only. The reading of sutras is the step towards knowledge (Jnana) and devotion (Bhakti) of Bhagavantha. River is not just water. Devathes (Angels) presence will be there in the Rivers. The difference in the importance of the rivers is due to the presence of different angels (Devathes) in the Rivers. If the rivers are allowed to flow naturally according to their paths without constructions of dams, the catastrophies that we are facing today would not have been there. It is scientifically known that the rivers joining the Ocean converts to steam from which clouds are formed and the rainfall takes place in the same direction wherever the rivers had flown. In the olden days they were constructing ponds everywhere. They were not constructing dams. Because of the construction of dams, the continuous flow of water in its natural habitation is not there, we are not getting rains properly everywhere. Here the question arises that why the ocean water cannot convert into steam. The reason is that the Rivers are considered as females and the Oceans are considered as males. From the union of rivers and the Oceans rain comes. This is the advance technology which we know. We take training for improving our task here. Likewise if we want to reach Bhagavantha we must be like Bhagavantha. This cannot be attained in one janma. After very many janmas only we come to that stage. Madwacharya created 37 granthas. For Brahma sutra he wrote “Anu vyakyana” which is a wonderful grantha. (Teekacharya wrote tatwa prakashika and Nyayasudha.) He also prayed GOD with “Dwadasha stotra” while installing Krishna prathime in Udupi. All the Granthas of Madhwacharya depicts “Vishnu as Sarvothama”. He has written Bhashyas for 10 Upanishads. “Mahabharatha tatparya nirnaya” is the authority of all the remaining shastras. It contains 32 Chapters. The description of “Ramayana” is found from 4th chapter to 9th chapter. In the 10th Chapter, Vedavysara story is told. From 11th chapter to 32nd chapter it is about “Mahabharatha”. In the 22nd chapter the vanavasa of Pandavas are described. From 25th chapter to 29th chapter the war description is given. 30th chapter the Pandavas enter Hastinapura. In the 31st chapter the Rajasuya Yaaga Yagna is described. In Bhagavatha Thathparya Nirnaya, Vishnu Sahasranama, Geetha Bhashya, Geetha Thathparya we find no difference among these Granthas. From Dwadasha stotras it is possible to obtain Bhakti. Harikathamruthasara is another grantha from which one can get Bhakti towards Bhagavantha. From reading or understanding Sarwamoola Grantha, one gets a great relief in his birth. It is advised to recite Teekacharya stotra, Raghavendra Swamy stotra, Vyasaraja stotra daily without fail.
