As I was browsing through FB, I found this amazing link which gave a complete day to day activities of our Beloved Rayaru in the greatest detail as written by Sree Appanacharya who resided with Rayaru for several decades. This is one of the Prayers Sree Appanacharyaru used to recite. The very first time I read the Stotra and the meaning, I had tears rolling down my eyes. I couldn’t wait to share it with you all devotees of Rayaru.
Below is the Stotra in Kannada and Baraha English. You can copy and paste in Baraha and translate to any language of your choice.

The meaning of the stotra goes like this:
O king of Sanyasis, O Ramachandra’s worshipper, O Raghavendra Guru, protect me
Please do reside within me, please do get me to your place. Protect me in all ways, all worlds, and always. I am praying to you to fulfill my smallest desires, I am the smallest among small being. I am the follower of your lotus feet, please protect me.
Victory be yours. May I be protected by your grace. I salute to you. I salute to you once again. I salute to your granthas. I salute to you who prays to Lord Hari. I salute to your hands which worshiped Lord Hari, and composed and studied Guru Madhwacharya’s granthas.
I salute to you who is praised by one and all in this world. I salute to you, I salute to you once again.
I tried my best getting the message out, if you know Sanskrit, please do correct the meaning. Hope you all recite this amazing stotra to get the blessings of our beloved Rayaru.
We had another Satsangha last week at Virginia. It was just amazing to see how much devotion and bhakthi people have on our beloved Rayaru. As I was going through my own blog, I found that I had not given link for people to learn and recite the amazing Stotra step by step. I have several links for the Stotra itself, but not matter what language it is written in, it is tough for many including me to pronounce Sanskrit properly.
So, below is an amazing link on Patwari.org which has each and every sloka recited one at a time. This is a great resource for many of you to share with your friends, relatives and kids to learn the Stotra.
Hope you all are having a wonderful time performing pooje to our beloved Rayaru. As always, sharing some pictures of
Poorvaradhana celebrations at Mantralayam. A million thanks to the webmaster of SRSMUTT.org
As promised, I am updating all of you on the Satsangha we had yesterday, Sunday June 19th. It was just an amazing experience to host the same at my place. We recited all stotras as mentioned in the website by Shri Rajaraman. I also had kept the books provided to me by Shri Canchi Ravi and gave them to three wonderful women to read about the miracles of our Beloved Rayaru.
We started promptly at 6.00 PM. We started with Shree Vishnu Sahasranama and later covered all the songs mentioned on the Satsangha web site. Everyone had brought flowers and fruits as you can see in the pictures below. The entire home filled with chanting of Shree Raghavendra, and that was such a humbling experience. And listening to the miracles from at least a few people was a chilling experience.
Please find attached the Satsangha Pictures.

Yesterday as I was driving to work and listening to the song Guruve Varahaja Thatavasa and once this song finished another amazing song on Lord Narashima started playing. I thought this was really a blessing from Lord Narashima himself.
I couldn’t wait to come back home and search for the song and the lyrics itself. It is quite a popular song and I was amazed how we missed it here in the blog.
Mr. krismaly has provided the wonderful lyrics for our Lord Narayana. If you listen to the song, you will feel so blessed. A million thanks to you. Just awesome. The little girls voice is just amazing. Kudos to their parents. God bless them a million times. 🙂
Yet another visitor requested the lyrics for Jaya Mangalam Nitya Shubha Mangalam On Lord Venkateshwara.
As always, I searched on Google and found this amazing video on youtube. The song is in Telugu. I can definitely write down the lyrics as I listen but not knowing the language, it would be hard.
So, anyone who knows the lyrics, please post it in English. It is just an amazing song on our Lord.
How blessed am I to have wonderful readers like Mrs. Shobha R who saw my request and immediately sent the lyrics for this amazing song in Kannada. Attached below are the lyrics for the song in Kannada. I will hopefully translate to English as well.
Thanks a million Shobha. May Lord Venkateshwara bless you and your family.
