Shri Vijayadasaru bringing the Bhagirathi to this Earth

The water in the Tungabhadra river flowing by making melodies

sounds. The amusing sounds nothing but the Omkara of Sri HariSarvothamma and

VayuJeevothama. Green fields, crops nod their heads with joy under the kind

affection of mother nature. Tungabhadra river’s flow has

added enormous beauty and gave importance to the small village as Chikkalaparvi,

Though Chikkalaparvi, is a small village, owing to the stay of divine

personalities, it has attained great importance place for the Madhwas. As Sri Sripadarajaru has

done the pratishthhaapana of ShreeNarasimha Devaru and Ashwath

Vrushka. With the blessings from the Narasimha Devaru Anurruha. ShriVijayaprabhugalu

born as an Aparoksha Jnannigalu.

 

Dasaru has blessed many of his

devotees and bought them to the path of the Lord Shri Hari . Shri Vijayarayaru

is one of the most well-liked who has disseminated that Shri Hari is a

Sarvothaama. He has brought Shri Madhwa-

Tatava to light with his striking writings and he made the Madhwacharya’s philosophy flag keep flying high.

 

Many Dasaru came and worked under

the foot steps of Shri Vijayadasaru, simply we can put this it as a second

innings for the Haridasa Sahithya. By his inspirations of this great and extraordinary Dasaru today we

are talking about the kruthigalu

,suladis and Ugahabogalu. Great kudo’s to

Shri Vijayarayaru.

 

When Shri Vijayadasaru was going

for Kashi Yatre for the consecutive Third time, an orthodox and a very old

pious Achar requested Shri Vijayarayaru . “Dasare you are going to Kashi please say my name and put one dip on

behalf of me in the Ganga, I will be

happy and also feel my self that I have taken bath in the Gangaâ€. Shri Vijayaraya agreed and left

for Kashi Yatre.

 

Some months passed Dasaru finished the Yatre returned

to the Chikkalaparvi . One day Dasaru visited the house of the Achar house and

gave the prasada, Ganga water etc.,. The Achar’s face was shining and felt happy . Once again achar said that he

could not do Ganga Snana till now as my health had not permitted all these

years and said sadly that how many days I live I don’t know and when my desire

will be fulfilled. Shri Vijayadasaru told you can do Ganga Snana here itself if

it comes to Lords wish and dasaru left on his way.

 

After some days Shri Vijayadasaru

visited the achars house and informed him to do Ganga Snana in the Tungabhadra tomorrow it self . By

listening the words Achar said “dasare, that

also I cannot take due to my

inability of my poor health†When that

Acahr is saying words, his eyes are filled with tears Shri Vijayadasaru

understood his plight and called his daughter-in-law and said Amma tomorrow

before I goto TungaBhadra river for Snana(bath)

you go to the river and fetch two pots of the water in madi and keep in

your house where your father-in-law able to take bath. After taking bath when I reach to Aswatha

Narayana temple, the water in the pots

will be over flow, at that time you can make arrangements for the Ganga Snana

for your father-in- law said.

 

These words look like a fine tune music for

his ears of achar and he taught he has done good karma in his previous birth

that’s why he got this golden opportunity to take bath in Ganga that too

without visiting the Ganges and he made lots and lots Punya to have a dasaru

like Shri Vijayaraya Prabhugalu and wept inside silently.

 

Next day the Daughter-in-law did

according to the instructions of the Dasaru.

The Chikkalaparvi village is in the mood of celebrating festival allover

the people who are busy talking about

Ganga is visitng their place and their eyes and mind are filled with

happiness .Shri Vijayadasaru took them

all to the banks of the TungaBhadra river. They are all praising dasaru for his

greatness but the dasaru is standing on

the banks of the river calmly meditating after some

time Dasaru has started singing the Bhagirathi Kruthi, till that time the river was calm and flowing

like small child crawling on the floor,

the water is also in brownish and in muddy colour

as soon the Kruthi is over the water colour is also turned to milky

white and really the the Bhagirathi is

started flowing . The people who are assembled there did namaskaras for the Ganga

devi and they cannot believe with their eyes

and they started dipping in the river

and they all felt happy with the Grace of the Shri Vijayadasaru. After Dasaru

finished the Ganga Snana and reached the

Ashwath Narayana temple

 

At that same time, the water in

the pots of the achar’s house also started overflowing the achar not able to

believe what is happening there and started enjoying that scene and his

daughter-in-law made an arrangement for his bath after taking the bath his eyes

are radiant and his mind is filled with happiness and prayed Hari Vayu Gurugalu

for giving Shri Vijayadasaru for this world and he has lived all these years to

witness this situation and he put countless

namaskaras to Shri Vijayaraya prabhugalu and he felt that is his life desire

has fulfilled which has taken place with the grace of the Shri Vijayaraya .

After the bath the daughter-in-law made arrangements for the Puje to be

performed by his father-in-law and left

to Tunga river to take dip in the Tungabhadra river

 

In the evening Shri Vijayadasaru

while going to perform Sandhya Vandhane

he visited to Achar house. Since morning the achar is waiting for the Dasaru without

closing the eyes. After seeing the Dasaru his eyes are filled with tears and

prostrated before Dasaru . Dasaru lifted him up “achare you should

not do like this I am younger than youâ€. The

achar said “dasare as far age is

concerned I am older than you, but intellectually you are older than me and he

explained clearly what is happened in the morning to

Dasaru.

 

Dasaru listened patiently the

words of the achar and blessed him and went away. Achar thought that Dasaru

will not leave the hands who are believed in him and help his devotees with

antharyami of Hari Vayu Gurugalu.

 

Moral of the event :

Shri

Vijayadasaru was one of the aparoksha jnaanis and he was doing “jnaana snaana†in 72000 nadigata

teerthagalu. So, it is not a difficult task for him, to bless yogya sadhaka to

have Bahya(external) snana by inviting

Vishnu-padi(«µÀÄÚ¥À¢)- Ganga. Hence the saying goes “snaana maadiro jnaana teerthadallli…..â€

which makes everything possible.
