Namaskara,Today is Sri 1008 Sri Satyajana Teertha Sripadangalavaru's Aradhane (UM Liniage - 37th pontiff). Swamijis Moola vrindava is in Rajamundry - AP on the banks of river Godavari. I had the oppurtunity to visit Moola Vrindavana while I was on my official tour some years back. This is to inform all members that we have Sri Satyajnana Teertha

Sripdangalavara Mritika Vrindavana at Sri Raghavendra Swamy Mutt

Shalibanda - Oldcity of Hdyerabad. It is the only mutt with Swamijis

Mritika Vrindavana in Hyderabad and Secunderabad.Sri Satyajnana Teertha

Sripadaru was a great saint and there are many miracles which happened

in his tenure. He was Poorvashrama Shishya Sri Satyadhyana Teertha

Sripadangalavaru (Shri Seturamacharyaru - Poorvashrama Name). Miracles1) Tirupati :His

power was such that one day Swamiji went to Tirupati along with his

shishyas and was suppose to take darshan of Lord Venkateshwara. It was

tradition that our Matha Swamiji was suppose to be welcomed inside the

matha with the temple protocol. The then adhikari at temple denied to

give this protocol to Swamiji and denied entry into garbha gudi.

Swamiji was so sad that he could not have darshan of Lord Srihari. He

then took all his shishyas and started patha near to Sri Varaha Swamy

Temple. It so happened that the Kasturi Tilaka which is part of the

daily rituals and pooja of Lord Sri Venkateshwara was continuously

falling down. This happened for almost 7-8 times and the priest was so

frightened and called the head priest and told that the Kasturi Tilaka

of Sri Hari is falling down continuously and he failed in his attempt

for almost 7-8 times. Then the head priest asked the temple authorities

to go backward and recall whatever they have done since morning. One of

them came back and informed him that a saint from Uttaradi Matha was

denied entry into the temple. He then said this is what the problem. He

ordered people there to go and search the saint and welcome him with

full honours. Then the temple authorities found Swamiji near Sri Varaha

Swamy temple and then informed him about the happening in temple and

begged a pardon and asked him to come to temple. Swamiji was received

inside the temple with full protocol and temple honours. After swamiji

entered temple the Kasturi Tilaka sticked to its regular place and

didnt fall after that on that particular day.Note : This was listened by me in a pravachane by one of the Acharyas in SRS mutt Shalibanda last year.2) Bhiksha at a devotee house :

Swamiji was so immersed in Lord Sri Hari's chintane that he use to

close his eyes and use to chant Hari's name while giving Teertha to

Hari bhaktas after routine Pooja to Sri Rama Devaru. His hand use to go

back automatically whenever an in-eligible person use to come to take

the teertha. In this process one lady happens to be the Bhakta's

daughter in whose house the bhiksha was performed denied teertha by

swamiji 3 times. His hand went back whenever this lady came to take the

teertha in line. Later after completing the teertha distribution the

grahasta went to swamiji and asked for the reason as to why his

daughter denied Teertha for continuous 3 times. Then Swamiji told him

the reason and that was she was having some kind of Roga on her thigh

and there was a big scar on her thigh. Everybody was so surprised to

listen this. This happens to be true and then the grahasta asked whats

the solution for this. Then swamiji asked her to clean the brahmanas

leftover patravali and food after they complete their bhojana. Then the

grahasta asked for how many days this has to be done then swamiji

replied you just do what has been said and later I myself will give her

teertha when the scar disappears. She did the job with total devotion

and her roga/scar got disappeared and then swamiji called and gave her

teertha one day. This incident informs us that how much power is there

in cleaning brahmanas leaves or left over. In olden days the ladies of

our house use to do this with total devotion with madi and now the same

has been done by the shudras or the lower cast people who are taking

away all the power which our ladies use to get. Its not only ladies but

the gents are also equally suppose to do this great job. Thats the

reason we the brahmins are working with lower cast people and get paid

by them. It is all punya karya they are doing un-knowingly and taking

away the punya which was suppose to be earned by us. We the so called

highly earning people throw money and get all these things done from

lower cast people.Note :This was listened by me in a pravachane by one of the Acharyas in SRS mutt Shalibanda last year.Moral

of all this is be dutiful and do what we are suppose to do. Do

sandhyavandane / pooje etc to start with. Learn small stotras and we

are suppose to do Agnikarya/Vaishwadeva and tarpana daily. Those

people who does not have one of the parents or both are suppose to do

brahmayagna daily. Those who have parents should also do brahmayagna

but they have to stop after leaving tarpana to gurus. So it is our duty

to respect our Mata/Pita and Guru. In this world who has Mata/Pita and

Guru are the greatest of great of living being and they are very

fortunate to have these people. So being having them and not respecting

them is totally wrong which will definitely take us to naraka. So

respect Mata/Pita Guru in their presence. And do Shradha / Tarpana when

we loose them.I request all of you to please participate in all

Aradhane of our great Yatis and be part of their anugraha which will

ultimately take us to lotus feet of Sri Hari. Let me also mention that on his recent visit to Hyderabad Sri 1008 Sri Satyatma Teertha Sripadangalavaru was telling that one should not ask for anything from GOD and should pray to him to bestow his TOTAL ANUGRAHA. IF one has ANUGRAHA of Hari / Vayu and Guru then he will not have any wish of his unfullfilled through out his lifetime. Until Guru bestow his Anugraha on a Sadhaka/Shishya, Vayudevaru will never bestow it and until Vayu devaru does not bestow his Anugraha Lord Sri Hari will not do it. So mandatorily we shud have total Bhakti towards Guru / Vayu and Sri Hari then only we can succeed in our life.
