Re: [ITMS-Hyderabad] Jayatheethara Sandesha(In English)

This sentence occurs in the mangalacharana verse of the commentary on

I bow to that God, Father, Lord, Highest of gurus, that consort of RamA
who creates the universe, then protects it, He who by revealing the
vedas gives the means by which happiness and cessation of sorrow may be
obtained, and He who gives sleep (during the night) and also at the end
of the kalpa.

He causes the creation of the entire universe comprising of all the
jIvas and inanimate matter. One might object to this by saying that
eternal entities like space, jIva-s etc. are never created. To this,
Rayaru clarifies that creation of the form of parAdhInavisheShApti etc.,
as described in the viyadadhikaraNa(2.3.1-7) of the brahmasutras, is
meant here.

Re: [ITMS-Hyderabad] Jayatheethara Sandesha(In English)

Jayathetharu in his teeka clearly tells us about the Karuna of Hari and the biggest and most worthy gift he has given to this World. He narrates about the importance of Human life and the intension of God in creating human beings.

Teekakritpadaru in his Mangala shloka describes this in detail. It’s rather a sentence that tells all these.

Vishvasya Udayam atanoti!!

This has two meanings.

1) The intension of Hari in creation of Human beings.

Vishvasya-With trust

Udayam-Human being

Atanoti-Brings to this Universe.

In detatisl, Sri Hari has bought Human Being to this Universe with a great deal of trust and love. He made Human beings as thinking animals. That too we Brahmins are made with special care and goal. The Purusha suktha, (The one for which God himself is Kavi) tells us

Brahmano asya mukha maseeth.(Brahmins have originated from Hari’s face. We are here for Knowledge spreading. For this we need to have good ears, eyes and ability to speak.)

The intension of Hari behind creating Man is that we will earn Knowledge and lead our life in the way advocated by Dharma and spread the Sandehsa of Hari across the world.

2) Greatest Gift of God to this Universe.

Vishvasya- With Trust

Udayam-Ananda theertharannu. (Madhvacharya)

Atanoti- Brings to this Universe

Udayam means Vayu deva.You may think how?

Every letter indicates a god.

U means Rudra deva.That is lord shiva.

Dayam-Karuna.With love and affection.

Rudra deva is the one who influence our thinking. (Manassu).He is called Manobhimani.The one who with love and affection directs Shiva to influence our Thinking in Vayu deva.Madhavcharya is the third avatar of Vayu.So Our Thinking is influenced by Shiva and he in turn is controlled by Vayu.

So Madhvachrya is the greatest gift that god has given to this universe.

So we say,

Acharyaha srimadacharyaha santome janma janma ni!!

In all our Janmas we want to Madhvacharya as our Guru.

By telling us the exact and correct meaning of Vedashastras Madhvacharya has refined our life.

The good work done in hundreds of janma leads to human life. It takes thousands of Janma’s hard work to get Brahmin’s birth. They imagine what will take to be a Madhva?

We have got this Madhva janma after so much hard work. Let’s make use of it.

Even Dasaru has said the same.

Nara janma bandaga nalige iruvaga Krshna enabarade.

When you are born as human being and god give you the capacity to speak, why not say Krishna.

So what we need to do?

1) Sandhyavandhana with Gayatri japa.

2) Hari Vayu stuti

3) Deva Pooja

4) Dvaitha mata da mahatva aritu adaranthe jeevana nedasuvudu.

For ladies:

1) All Married women need to Gurumantra daily alter getting deekkshya from respective Gurus.

Let us cultivate this and speard across.This is our Gurudakhshina to our Guru Parampare.

Educational Support Program (ESP)

Namaskara,

We have planned to come up with a novel charity program in line with the agenda of ITMS-Hyderabad. The objective is to support deserving and financially poor Madhva candidates. Please find the document regarding this attached with this mail (I have pasted the gist below). We plan to stick this posters across all mAtas in Hyderabad.

What we ideally want to achieve is to support each Madhva candidate with a scholarship of about 500/- for this academic year. Towards this I request all members of ITMS to donate liberally to make this unique venture a grand success. You can donate upwards 500/- which will go towards this noble venture of helping our great community.

The process on how we will be identifying the candidate is also mentioned in the attached document. Please kindly send in your comments and please let me know if you are willing to contribute towards this venture.

Best Regards

Aditya

-- extract from the document --

The Educational Support Program (ESP) is an ongoing initiative of ITMS and during the PHASE 1 of its implementation, we proposed to carry out the following

Ø Invite applications from deserving madhvas towards the Educational scholarship

Ø Identify 10 (or more) deserving and financially backward Madhva students (preferably school going).

Ø Distribute the scholarship amounting to a MINIMUM of Rs.500/- FOR each candidate for this academic year. We plan to hand over the scholarship on the 21^st August 2005 (Gurugala Madhya Aradhane).

About shrI jayatIrtha (ಶ್ರೀ ಜಯತೀರ್ಥ)

Born: 1340
maThAdhipathi: 1365 To 1388
Preceptor: shrI akshObhya tIrtha (ಶ್ರೀ ಅಕ್ಶೋಭ್ಯ ತೀರ್ಥ)
Aradhane: AshADa bahuLa panchami (ಆಶಾಡ ಬಹುಳ ಪನ್ಚಮಿ)
brindAvana at: on the banks of kAbini at malakhEDa, Karnataka
maTha: uttarAdhi maTha
pUrvAshrama name: dhOnDUrao dEshpAnDe

Introduction
Adherents of tattvavAda or dvaita owe shrI jayatIrtharu a huge debt. Like hanumanta communicating the thoughts of Lord rAma to sIta mAta, jayatIrtharu is the messenger who brings us the message of shrI madhvAchArya. He has delved deep into shrI madhvAchArya's works and brought us innumerable pearls of wisdom and insight. Indeed, it is impossible to study madhvA shAstra without his help.

All the luminaries who have graced dvaita – shrIpadarAjaru, vyAsarAyaru, vAdirAjaru, vijayIndraru, raghOttamaru, raghavEndraru, to name a few – have only built on the foundation laid by shrI jayatIrtharu, and have not deviated from the line laid by him. Such is his profound mastery over tattvavAda or dvaita.

To put it symbolically, one may consider the sarvamUla granthas (shrI madhvAchArya's works) as the temple that shrI madhvAchArya built to his favorite deity, nArAyaNa or viShNu. Like jaya guarding the portals of vAikunTha, jayatIrtha regulates entrance to this shrine. One has to obtain his blessings in order to enter and obtain the grace of the deity eshrined within.


brindAvana of shrI jayatIrtha

छित्रै पदैश्च् गम्भीरैह् वाकैर्मानैह् अकन्डितैह् ।
गुरुभावम् व्यन्जयन्ति भाति श्रीजवतीर्थ वाक् ॥

In a short span of 23 years, jayatIrtha established tattvavAda as one of the premier schools of vedAnta. After ensuring that there was a strong foundation that would stand future adherents of tattvavAda in good stead, he decided that time had come to relinquish his mortal coils. He chose an able successor, shrI kriShNa bhatta, and introduced him into asceticism with the AshramanAma of vidhyAdhjirAja tIrtha, and handed over the reigns of the maTha to him. On AshAda bahuLa panchami in 1388 he ended his sojourn on earth. As desired by him, his brindavana was consecrated in malakhEDa, next to the brindAvana of his guru shrI akshObhya tIrtha.

Trip to Malakheda - Details and Photographs [ITMS first yatra]

Namaskara All,
We are just back from a wonderful yatra to Malakheda today (24th July 2005), which coincides with Shri Jayathirtha's purvAradhane. It was a wonderful experience and a truly rewarding one. After the unjalOthsava (thotilothsava) we were apprised on the significance of the day by a senior acharya and we sat through till the Maha-mangalArathi was performed. In the meanwhile we also had our dhrashan of all the 5 brindavans which included that of Shri Akshobhya Thirtharu, Shri Jayathirtharu, Shri Raghunatha Thirtharu, Vyasa Thirtharu & Srikantha Thirtharu. Later during the afternoon we had our Thirtha-prasada and collected our shesha vastra (prasadam) for the seva karikrama each one of us had opted for.

I thank one and all for having co-operated in spite of incessant heavy rains during the entire day and making our first ITMS yathra a very grand success. We also hope that our future ventures will attract more and more such participation.

You can find some important photographs of our yathra uploaded to our Yahoo Groups website at the following location
