Guru Gunasthavana (Part 13) -By Dr. B. Basker

————————————————————-

Namaskara to all Haribhakthaas,

This shloka highlights the greatness of the excellent work on the Bhagawat Geetha by Sri Rayaru popularly known as 'Geetha Vivritthi'.  The chandra vamsha was exhilerated because of the Lord telling the song celestial to Arjuna (which destroys the sins of those who read the same) and while Sri Raghavendra Gurusaarvabhaumaru wrote vivrithi the hamsa vamsa felt honoured similarly (Hamsa in one context means sanyasis in another aspect can be taken as soorya and hence soorya vamsha also felt glad).

This shloka shows us what a great kavisrestha was Sri Vaadindra teertha sripadaru!

Charama sloka:

Doorvaadidvaantaravaea vaishnaveandeevareandavea Sri raghaveandraguruvea namotyantadayaluvea ||

He is like the sun in removing the darkness of propagation of untruth; He is like the moon in causing the flowering up of the devotees of Sri Vishnu; He is merciful to the greatest extent. I bow to Sri Guru Raghavendra.

Poojyaaya raghaveandraaya satyadharmaratayacha Bhajataam kalpavrukshaaya namataam kaamadheanuvea ||

I bow to Sri Raghavendra Swamy of the following reputation:Revered; he guides us in the straight path of truth and good conduct; He fulfils the prayers of devotees completely just like the divine tree (kalpavrisksha) and the holy cow (kamadenu).

[contd]

Yours in the service of Sri Harih,

Venkatesh Rajendra Rao
