MANTRALAYA MAHAKSHETRA

ENTERING INTO THE BRINDAVAN

As his end was approaching near, he asked Venkanna, the noble Diwan to secure stones for Brindavan, and especially from one lying near Madhavaram, rejecting the one made already. He explained to the bewildered Diwan that the particular stone he selected was consecreted by Sri Rama's taking rest on it for seven ghadias, and because of that his Samadhi would receive prayers and offerings for seven hundred years. It was implemented. Exactly on the same day of his fixing, he entered the Samadhi amidst sorrowing disciples and countless devotees with observance of all rituals and instructions as dictated by him, like placing of 700 saligrams inside and covering it with the stones made already. Though this venerable Madhva Matacharya was given Sajiva Samadhi as desired by him some three centuries back, he is still living and observing every devotee visiting the sanctum sanctorum for emancipating them through miracles. This sacred mission is gaining importance with passage of time.
