Vayustuti Punascharana Dwitiya Managala Programme – A Huge Success

With the blessings of Hari Vayu Gurugalu the Vayustuti Punascharana Dwitiya Avruthi Mangala Programme was a Huge Success.

The team comprising Ladies, Gents and children numbering about 45 started by bus from KPHB, Kukatpally at about 9-30 pm and reached Anantagiri by 11-30 night of 26th March 2011.  The programme was jointly organized by ITMS Kondapur & VMMP Miyapur   under the able guidance of Pandit Lakshmi Narayana Char  & Sri Madhav Achar.Our day 0n 27th March started with all the Bhaktas waking up by 4-30 am started getting themselves prepared for a Pushkarni Snana. 

All the devotees had their bath and performed Sandhyavandane by 5.45 to 6 AM.  The Archaka  of Sri Anantha Padmanabha Temple scheduled Nirmalya and Abhiseka to the presiding deity by 5.30 AM. All the devotees gathered in the garbha gudi and squatted on the floor with great devotion to watch the nija Darshana of Saligra rupiee Sri Anantha Padmnabha Swamy along with Sridevi and Bhoodevi Ammavaaru.

Then began samoohika parayana of “Sri Vishnu Sahasra Nama” & “SriSuktha”.  Simultaneously archakaru performed “Abhisekha” and “Alankara” and mangalarathi to the deity.  It took almost an hour and everybody had the Vishwaroopa Darshana of Lord Sri Ananta Padmanabha.  Archakaru performed Mangalaharati to the deity after Alankara as culmination of Pooja.

All the male devotees then assembled in the spacious Hall in front of Garbhagudi. Sri Lakshminarayana char administered Sankalpa and began with Sri Venkatesha Stotra, Sri Manyu Suktha followed by Sri Hari Vayustuti followed by guru stuthra and Sri Raghavendra Swamy Stotra parayana.

Simultaneously Achar started making preparations for Sri Hari Vayu Stuti Homa.  To our Great fortune Sri Madhav Achar (Sudha Panditaru) has consented to perform the Homa.

Soon after the culmination of Sri Hari Vayustuti Punascharane, Sri Lakshminarayanachar briefly explained the historical background and importance of Sri Anantagiri quoting various incidents from Markandeya and other various puranas.  He explained for about half an hour how pious and great occasion for all of us to dedicate our seva at such an important Teertha Kshetra.    He then requested Sri Madhav Achar to speak on the occasion.  Sri Achar briefly spoke for about 15 minutes explaining how it has ben described that naama jaapa gives vishesha phala in Kali yuga.

All Devotees assembled for the Homa after light refreshments.  Sri Raghavendra Baru and Sri Raghavendrachar ably assisted by chanting Sri Hari Vayustuti keeping in pace with the Achar performing Homa.  Thereafter Sri Lakshminarayana char led all the devotees to the Pushkarane and all took the holy bath in the Lake as part of chakra snana.  Sri Acharyaru sprinkled holy water on the other devotees gathered and who could not take the bath. 

Soon after all the devotees were asked to assemble in Sri Satya Pradmoda Teertha Nitya Annadana Hall.  Sri Archakaru gave teerthaprasada  to all the devotees. As is to prove that the programme was blessed by the deity and his acceptance, all the items served were very delicious. Post lunch all the Bhajana Mandali members (Mahila) gathered in the Mantapa and started Bhajanae for one Hour.

By about 3 pm all the devotees were asked to board the bus.  On way back, we visited centuries old Sri Venkateshwara Temple at Chevella.  Archakaru performed mangalaharati and explained the historical background of the temple.  After spending about 30 minutes in the temple we headed towards our destination and reached at about 7 pm.

ITMS and VMMP takes this opportunity to thank all the Organizers, Pundits, Archaks, Volunteers and participants.

A special vote of thanks to Sri Seshagiri Katkar for planned organization of activities at Ananthgiri kshetra (as part of Sri Anathapadmanabha Seva).

Sri Harivayustuti Punascharana Dwitiya Avrutti Managala Karyakrama - A Huge Success

Sri Harivayustuti Punascharana Dwitiya Avruti Mangala Karyakrama at Sri Prasanna Anjaneya Swamy Temple, Mallapur was a very huge success on 12-12-2010.  The programme commenced little late than the scheduled time due to winter season. 

About 30 participants gathered at the venue by 9.00 am and as Punascharana progressed, more participants joined taking the total tally to 45.

Sri Kadugolu Rangachar, Malkajgiri to administered sankalpa to the participants.  The Punascharana commenced sharply at 9-15 am with chanting of Sri Venkatesha Stotra, Sri Vishnu Sahasranama, Sri Manyu Sookta, Sri Bhalitha Sookta, followed by Sri Harivayustuti Punascharana in Samputa format envisaged by Sri Vyasarajaru and went up-to 11 am.  Simultaneously, Sri Manjunath, Adoni performed Cow Milk Abhisheka to Sri Mukhya Prana Devaru. 

Sri Tupsakri Prahallada Char reached the venue well in time and performed Mangalarathi to Sri Pranadevaru after Abhisheka. 

Sri Prahallada char commenced his pravachana at 11-30 am. As the pravachana karyakrama was going on, temple archaka Sri Prahallada charyaru carried out Panchamrutha Abhisheka and Alankara with flowers and Silver Kavacha to Sri Pranadevaru.  He spoke elaborately on “Sri Harivayustuti Vaishita”.  He explained in detail the background of Sri Trivikrama Panditacharyaru, his birth, his Panditya and how he was attracted by Srimadacharyaru after defeating him in Tatvavada.

He also explained the manner in which Trivikrama panditaru has explained the mahime of sri Vayu Devaru in three avataras.  He also narrated the thrill experienced by Sri Trivikrama panditaru after seeing Srimadacharyaru engaged in Sri Hari Pooje at Badari and how instantly he started composition of Sri Harivayustuti.  He also told that Srimadacharyaru was very much pleased with the composition and blessed Sri Trivikrama panditaru by composing two stanzas in praise of Sri Narasimha Devaru in the form of Nakha Stuti. He also told that generally stotras composed by Gruhastas are not chanted by peethadhipathis but Sri Harivayustuti & Sri SumadhwaVijaya being the only exceptions where Peethadhipathis in Acharya Sri Madhwarayana parampare chant  every day. The listeners were enthralled and listened to the discourse with great interest. The Pravachana continued for about One and a Half Hour duration.  Sri Prahallada char then picked-up the second topic “Anu Harikathamrutha Sara” and explained 5 stanzas in great detail for about 30 minutes.  In all the pravachana ended at 1-30 pm. 
Sri Jayateeth Kadloor requested Smt. & Sri Narasimhachar Purohit present Tulasipatra Samarpane to Sri Tupsakri Achar and proposed Vote of thanks.  Sri Jayateerth thanked ITMS for owning up the karyakrama and for generous financial help rendered by the Sangha. 

He thanked all the Members of Sri Prasannanjaneya Swamy Temple Committee for the help extended for the tremendous success of the programme.  He thanked all the participants who have gathered from Miyapur, Malkajgiri, Moulali, Mallapur and Ramanthapur.  He also thanked the in-charges of VVMP Ramanthapur & Malkajgiri for extending a helping hand in mobilizing participants for punascharana. A special thanks to Pt. YadhunandhaAchar (VMMP Ramanthapur) for congregating more than 20 members of Purascharana

He specially thanked the ladies for turning out in such great number and expressed confidence that they would continue to participate with same enthusiasm in all the future programmes of ITMS. Then commenced the Parayana of Sri Guru Jagannatha Dasa Virachita “Sri Venkatesha Stawaraja and Sri Lakshmi Hrudaya” by 35 ladies led by Smt. Srikala, Malkajgiri with great devotion.

The highlight of this programme is that Smt. Srikala (ITMS Mahila Mandali) had promised originally to mobilize 15 ladies for this Parayana Programme.  But to our great joy she has mobilized 35 ladies for Parayana.   By then it was about 02-15 pm and Maha Mangalaharati was offered to Sri Pranadevaru.

Though we were expecting about 100-120 people for Teertha Prasada, 150 people graced the occasion.  There was all-round praise for ITMS for arranging such a fine programme.
