SUMMARY: At a place called “Pashupe”, where a group of people appealed to him, Sri Madhwaru displayed his extraordinary singing skills and instantly created flowers and fruits there with his singing; what a miracle!

This was an incident that happened in Pashupe, where the arecanut and other plants had stopped yielding flowers or fruits and nuts for several years. As requested by the villagers, Sri Madhwaru instantly made all the plants to shine with flowers, fruits and nuts merely by displaying his singing skills.

A rare fact that owing to the request of the villagers of Pashupe, Sri Madhwaru wrote “Ganashastra”, a book on how to sing, is mentioned in Bhavaprakashike.

दिव्यगॆयविदग्धॊsसौ सर्वग्न इति याचितः।

विद्वद्भिरत्र कृतवान् गानशास्त्रं सुदुर्लभम्॥

This GAnashastra laid the foundation for the Dasapantha, which is one of the most astounding and unknown facts about Sri Madhwaru.

Unfortunately, Ganashastra by Sri Madhwaru is not known to the present world. It is only recorded that he had produced such a work. Scholars are of the opinion that Sri Purandaradasaru, doyen of Carnatic devotional song composers might have secured it.

In Tattwapradeepa, the exemplary musical skills of Sri Madhwaru has been described in very clear terms:

In his AnuvyAKhyAna, Sri Madhwaru has stated that music can make plants and trees produce or yield flowers and fruits:

SUMMARY: One of the most prominent sages Agastya, who gulped the mighty Ocean which was prospering without any control, shall help us cross the Ocean of worldly life.

There is a hillock called Vyasaparvata in close proximity to Kanyakumari. Sri Vadirajaru is offering prayers to Sage Agastya in that Vyasaparvata. It may be recalled that Agastya had gulped the entire ocean in one take to teach the Ocean a lesson and control it. Therefore, Sri Vadirajaru is praying in this stanza that Sage Agastya may bless humanity to cross the ocean of worldly life with ease and comfort.

SUMMARY: Oh Lord, the presiding deity of Shucheendra Kshetra, you cannot become more powerful just because you purified Lord Indra; you may earn greatness by purifying my mind, which is not Indra.

There is a story behind this Shucheendra. It is said that Lord Indra, who was cursed by Sage Gauthama to become insane, got relieved from that curse at Shucheendra. Sri Vadirajaru seems to tell Shucheendra, a sacred place, that merely by clearing the sin of Indra, it (the pilgrimage) cannot assume to have become great. Indra is a deity and there is no greatness in clearing his sin or purifying him. However, the place can consider itself to be great after purifying the human minds, which cannot match Indra.

Shucheendra is about eight miles from Kanyakumari. It was here where Indra, who was cursed by Gauthama Maharishi for his misbehavior with Gauthama’s wife Ahalya, got relieved from that curse at Shucheendra. The name of the place is derived for clearing the sin of Indra. There is a large temple in this place dedicated to Lord Vishnu, Rudra and Brahma. It is said that that the statue of Hanumantha in this temple is among the largest statues of Hanumantha in India.

SUMMARY: Later, Sri Madhwacharyaru visited a pilgrimage known as IshupAta and there remembered/meditated Sri Parashurama, the consort of Rama Devi; he ate thousands of the giant-sized plantains popularly known as “Rajakeli” that were offered to him.

Ishupata is a pilgrimage in the Parashurama Kshetra and this incident relates to what happened there, when Sri Madhwaru visited that place.

SUMMARY: Sri Madhacharyaru went to a place called Gove and there he ate four thousand giant plantains submitted to him by a Brahmin called ‘Shankara’; he drank water to the tune of thirty water containers; he also drank thirty containers of milk. He vanished from there when the King of that place and his servants tried to stop him.

These are two distinct instances that occurred in Goa.

“Panchakatrikayuga” means 5x3x2=30

It is explained in Bhava Prakashika: Panchakatrikam panchadashakam tadyugam trimshat|

“DashashateechatuShkam” means 4,000: DashAnAm shatAnAm samAhArO dashashatee shasram| tasyashchatuShkam chatuhsahasramityarThaha|

Another instance that occurred in Goa is as follows: The king of that State had planned to keep Sri Madhwaru under house arrest and thereby provide permanent protection to him. Then, he sent all his disciples to a far off place with his Yogic power and remained there alone. When the King opened the door of his room, he saw Sri Madhwaru sitting there in his normal Yogic posture. This has been described in Bhava Prakashika.

SUMMARY: Indra and Love God are in the mind. Shiva is in the pride or vanity. Garuda and Shesha are in charge of mind and spirit. Lord Sri Hari in this Taijasa form, with nineteen faces, stays in all these deities, every day, and takes the beings into insomnia and gets called as PraviviktaBhuk.

Garuda and Shesha are also in charge of pride or vanity. This is mentioned in Tantrasarasangraha:

AhankAraha ShEShaveendrAdapi vidwadBhireeritau|

अहन्कारः शॆषवीन्द्रावपि विद्वद्भिरीतौ।

Pravivikta means things related to dream or insomnia. “PraviviktaBhuk” means one who enjoys subjects or things related to dream or insomnia.

This aspect finds mention in MAnDookaBhAshya, Tattwakaustubha, Sarasangraha and Prakashasahmita.  

228.     ಜ್ಞಾನಮಯ ತೈಜಸನು ಹೃದಯ-

SUMMARY: Sri Hari, in his Taijasa form, reaches the being to the heart, and calling him Prajna (knowledgeable), provides the being a psychological satisfaction. For those who surrender to Him, instead giving such correlation or fake feeling, reaches them to Sushupti or insomnia proper and once again renders the state of insomnia and awareness to the  beings.

These aspects have been mentioned in Mandookopanishat and other Bhashyas or commentaries.

SUMMARY: In the tongue, Varnuna as well as Sri Hari in the form of Matsya (Fish) are present. In the Cannula, there are Upendra and Indra. The Sun by name Parjanya is there in the palate and in him Sri Hari is there. There are the forms of Vamana and Bhamana of Sri Hari in the eyes, Shiva and Keshava forms in the forehead, Love God in the cheeks and in him, there is Sri Hari in the form of Pradyumna.

SUMMARY: We think that this Virgin, who has destroyed Banasura (who has made the tip of the arrow of Parashurama), who is very friendly with the King of Oceans, who is very beautiful, is none other than Rama Devi or Goddess Lakshmi, who appears to be following the cultural ethos that Lord Narayana is following.

In this stanza, Sri Vadirajaru seems to disagree with the common perception that Kanyakumari is an incarnation of Goddess Parvati Devi.

SUMMARY: When Sri Madhwacharyaru was in “Hrisheekesha” Lord Sri Rudra in white complexion arrived to him in the guise of a Brahmin, saluted him, received alms, requested him to grace and bless, was seen by everyone clearly and instantly vanished from there; everyone around was astonished by this rare instance; he (Lord Rudra) appeared in the dream of a devotee, who was in a different place, motivated him to prepare several declicious food items and got them served among several people. Thus, he (Lord Rudra) made it very clear that the inner soul of Vedas and the Guru of everyone, Sri Madhwacharyaru, was his Guru too.

This was an incident that occurred when Sri Madhwacharyaru was in Hrisheekesha.

In Hrisheekesha, there is a very beautiful idol of Sri Hrisheekeshavamurthy. This is said to be a very rare idol cast strictly in accordance with the features of Hrisheekesha mentioned in Tantrasara. The shrine where this idol has been consecrated is known as Bharata Mandira.

It has been explained in Bhavaprakashike that Lord Sri Rudra appeared thrice in the dream of the priest of a nearby Shiva temple and told him that his Guru (Grandpa and father) Sri Madhwacharyary had come there, that he should offer a warm welcome to him and worship him and the priest had acted ccordingly.

This is a very distinct and rare instance that showed that Sri Madhwacharyaru highly valued and respected Sri Rudra.
