All Madhwas are fortunate to be born as vaishnavas to have the blessings of Hari-Vauyus. We Madhwas are also blessed with the preaching and advise of Sri Madhwacharya, who is the third avatar of Sri Vayu devaru.

In fact if one really looks to the modern world materialistic life and compare the same with the Panchatatva bedha preached by Sri Madhwacharya, one can experience and see in reality the existence of panchabedha. Even in offices we find tharathmya like juniors reporting to their respective Seniors, different attitude,  different personalities between human beings, differences even in objectives, etc.

There are so many important issues related to understanding of God who is supreme and omnipotent and as well about tatvagnana . These issues are well defined and addressed by Sri Madhwacharya in his scintilling works of 37 books which is popularly called as SarvaMoola. It is said that even this day all Devatas below Brmha-Vayu are listening some of his Sarvamoola works through Seshadevaru, which itself depicts as great example about the importance of his “Sarvamoola ’’ works.

We are also fortunate to have great saints and disciples of Sri Madhwacharyarya like Sri Jayathirtharu, Sri Sripadarajaru, Sri Vyasarajaru, Sri Vadirajaru Sri Raghothamathirharu, Sri Raghavendraswamiji and others in Madhwa sect. Their contribution to preach and advocate Madhwa philosophy is significant and laudable. It is a well known fact that these great Saints of Madhwa cult have contributed a lot in preaching the “Tatvagnana” and “Hari Sarvothamathva” of Sri Madhwacharya.

But in today’s world the percentage of people who are really studying ,practicing and enhancing their wealth of knowledge in the great works of Sri Madhwacharya and other great scholars of Madhwa sect is very less. But the common man is very much aware of the great powers of these saints. Particularly Sri Raghavendra swamyji  who is familiar to most of the people of all sections, as he is known as “Kaliyuga Kalpatharu”. Many souls are blessed by Him in many ways. There may be several incidents in one’s own life where one could have felt and enjoyed the fruits or benefits because of his sheer blessings.

Why Sri. Raghavendra Swamyji is powerful ?

It is said that Sri Raghavendra swamyji in his first incarnation (avathara) as Sri Prahalada had attained enormous power from Lord Sri Narasimha due to his sheer bhakti which  perhaps he is sharing with all his bhaktas by distributing the same.

All those who have intense bhakthi and belief in Sri Raghavendraswamiji would have experienced some divine results in sorting out their personnel, family, business, official and health problems. Sometimes it will be realized when we achieve certain things smoothly that it is because of Hari-Vayu’s blessings through Sri Raghavendraswamy.

I can admit openly that in my own personal life couple of incidents has happened at different times where my total surrendering to Lord and Sri Raghavendraswamiji has solved many hurdles and problems pertaining to education and carrier which were genuine in nature.
One incident I may have to share with all is, --- During 1992 while I was riding in my scooter with my second son as pillion rider, it was unfortunate that my scooter break cable got cut while moving in a steep down narrow road. I was perturbed and lost my confidence to take suitable remedies to decrease the speed and stop the vehicle. I was more worried about my son’s safety and life, as one big bus was standing just opposite and very little space was available at the right side of the bus .At that juncture I immediately remembered and prayed Lord Sri Lakshmi Narasimha and Rayaru. Believe me, by God, a person just appears at that narrow place with his vehicle and stops my scooter by holding his vehicle against my running scooter. Even before a second there was nobody, but how come this gentleman could appear? It is all because of the blessings of Hari-Vayu and Sri Raghavendraswamiji. Karedare Bara Baradhe! Bandhe.
