Sri Sri Ragothama Thirtha Swamiji 438th Aaradhana Celebration
This Pongal day 15.1.2011 I was heading towards Tirukoilur by 6am in my car with couple of my freinds to attend the 438th year Aaradhana celebration of Sri Sri Ragothama Thirtharu .The Great saint who at the age of 8 took up the sanyasa ashrama from his guru and went ahead to preach the Philosophy of dwaita vedanta as propounded by Shri.Jagad Guru Madhwacharya , Ragothama Rayaru toured entire south and north India and kept Tirukoilur as his base for his work.
He is famous for his writing commentry on Sri Jayathirtha's works,His aradhana was celebrated with traditional pomp and religous ferver.
The present Peetadhipathi of Utharadi mutt Sri Sri Sathyatma Thirtaru perfomed the aradhana abishekam and Sri Rama devaru pooja at the brindavana. Tens of thousands of people attended the aradhana to take the blessings of guru rayaru.
SRI RAGHOTHAMA THEERTHA
He is ranked as one of the greatest celebrities of Sri Madhwa Siddhanta because of his five " Bhava Bodhas " which are the commentaries on the works of Sri Acharya. His guru Sri Raghuvarya Theertha of Uttaradhi Mutt consented to receive the ' bhiksha ' from a couple without children on the condition that the first born should be handed over to the Mutt on birth. He also sent them a gold plate just before delivery so that the new born might be delivered in it. After the delivery the child was taken to the Mutt where he was cleansed with abhisheka water of Sri Moola Rama. At the age of seven the boy was ordained into the holy order and given the name Raghothama Theertha.
After the death of his guru, Swamyji had a dream one day in which Sri Moola Rama in the guise of Sri Raghuvarya Theertha inscribed the ' beejakshara ' on his tongue and instructed him to start teaching his disciples straightaway. Instantaneously all Vedic texts and Philosophical truths flowed in torrents from the mouth of the young Raghothama Theertha; and then onwards he became the Acharya.
He wrote five commentaries and each is called "Bhava Bodha".
They are :
1) Geetha Bhashya
2) Nyaya Vivarana
3) Vishnu Thathwa Nirnaya
4) Brihadaaranyaka
5) Thathvaprakaashika
He spent his entire life in meditation, penance, puja and preaching the doctrines of Sri Madhwacharya. He was a great devotee of God. He lives in the brindavana at Thirukoilur and answers the prayers of his devotees who have full faith in him.
