Sri Moola Rama Devaru |
|
|
The
Moola Rama icon was reverently worshipped by
Sita, Sri Hanumanta, and others. During the
Dwapara Yuga the icon ended up in the Moon
Dynasty (Chandra Vamsha) and was worshipped
by Bhimasena. With the course of time, it
kept changing hands until it reached the
Orissa kingdom. From there, it finally
reached the hands of Sri Madhvacharya. |

Jagadguru Sri Madhvacharya |
|
|
Lord
Narayana incarnated during the Dwapara Yuga
as a Swan – the symbol of pristine purity
and took up asceticism in order to spread
knowledge about the scriptures. His glorious
lineage was continued by great personalities
like Brahma, Sanaka, Doorvaasa, and others.
The thirteenth century saw Vayu, incarnating
under the explicit command of the Lord, as
the next great personality in this lineage.
This was Sri Madhvacharya |

It is popular belief, based on
testimonials from aparoxa gyanis, that
Rayaru is the incarnation of a celestial
called Sankukarna. The incarnations of this
celestial are as follows - Sri Prahlada, Sri
Bahlika, Sri Vyasa teertha and Sri
Raghavendra Teertha. Let us take a closer
look at each person in the lineage.
Sankukarna was a karmaja devata assisting
chaturmukha brahma in the pooja of the Lord.
One day, he was a little late in bringing
flowers for the pooja and Brahma cursed him
to be born on the earth. |
