Our Guru Rayar's bhaktha vatsalyam!!!

Thanks to all of the visitors who had sent emails asking for the lack of any new posts for the last few months in this blog... Happy to note that this blog detailing our mystical experiences with Rayar is being followed actively...

The main reason behind the inactivity of the last few months has been owing to the sad demise of our father, a man of 86 years old. He was suffering very much for his last few months with the advanced stage of Parkinson's disease in which slowly one by one his organs refused to continue working. While he was struggling in the last few months and with the slow degradation of his memory, one of the questions that he used to frequently ask was "What is the name of the place where Raghavendra is there", "What is the name of the railway station that we have to get down for going to see Raghavendra" etc. During the time when we were deeply saddened and worried what to do next at those excruciating days, suddenly out of blue, I receive a cover through normal post from Mantralaya primary aachar - Parimalaachar - stating that the cover contains mantrakshade with a small packet containing HIS mantrakshathe... By HIS grace, I have a pretty good memory power and nowhere I recall ever giving my address to Aachar for him to send this mantrakshate to us - What else can we call other than the fact that this was one way to tell us that HIS grace and benevolance is there on us!!! Our father had affinity to Kanchipuram Varadaraja swamy. Just a few days after receiving this mantrakshate and a day after we had the prasadam from Kanchipuram Varadaraja Swamy, he breathed his last on May 19th (Thursday) at 10:10AM in the morning. Here again, it is our strong belief that Rayar had shown us that our father's atma is going to be in safe place at Sri Hari's feet since he breathed his last on a guruvaar - Thursday. Again, it was Krishna Paksha and Dwithiya thithi on this day - the same paksha and thithi that Sri Guru Raghavendra chose to go into his Brindavanam. So can we call all this as a mere coincidence? Or as something else.... What else will a bhaktha vatsalya like our Guru Rayar will do when by HIS grace in his last few days, he was asking for the place in which he is present etc. that too in a situation his whole memory was slowly fading away!!!!

Owing to this sudden unfortunate development, there might be a slight lull in the activity of constructing the mrithika brindavanam for Rayar along with Sri Lakshmi Narasimhar and Anjaneyar. This should also be Sri Hari's sankalpa since who are we to fathom what HE has in store for all the activities that we do!!!
