Mantralayam Temple Sankalpa Seva
As the scriptural authority says “apyachuto guru dvaaraa prasadakRut” It is very easy to please the Supreme Lord (Narayana) using guru as the channel. This is very obvious in the case of Gurusarvabhouma Sri Raghavendra teertha (Rayaru), the Kalpatharu (the divine tree that grants all wishes) of Kaliyuga. He grants the desires of supplicants without hesitation; devotees serving him with a pure heart are doubly blessed because he also removes their sins, blemishes and other shortcomings. People have experienced this in person and is something that great gyAnis have vouched for. The benefits of obtaining Rayaru’s grace have been profusely documented in religious works like Sri Raghavendra Vijaya, Sri Raghavendra stotra and hundreds of compositions by great saints.
H.H. Sri Subudhendra teertha, the present pontiff of the Matha, has reassured devotees on innumerable occasions that coming to Mantralaya is not mandatory to obtain Rayaru’s grace, it is enough if one performs devout service in one’s home by going around Rayaru’s picture while reciting Raghavendra Stotra. Even reciting “Sri Raghavendraya namah” with intense devotion is good enough to obtain his total grace.
There are many popular ways of serving Rayaru. One of the most common but very potent advice that you get from Rayaru’s devotees while seeking solutions for life’s numerous problems is, “ Go to Mantralaya and perform the Sankalpa Seva, Rayaru will definitely bless you”. Sankalpa means an oath or a resolution to do something, Seva is the service performed to a celestial being. In this case, Sankalpa Seva involves the following steps:

Yes, the Pradakshine and namaskar should be performed in the manner prescribed by religious scriptures. Devotees should keep the following aspects in mind while performing Pradakshina during the Seva. There are two ways to offer Pradakshine and Namaskara.
Method 1.
1) One should perform Pradakshina 5,9,11…. times around the Sanctum Sanctorum.
2) During each Pradakshina, one should perform namaskar 12 times with utmost devotion towards Sri Rama, Narahari (Narasimha), Krishna and Vedavyasa respectively. Have a look at the Map given below.
3) During the pradakshina time one should recite pious religious compositions like Sri Raghavendra Stotra, Vayu Stuti, Dashaavatarastuti, Krishnaashtakam, Vishnu Sahasranama etc.
Ladies should not perform sashtanga namaskara wherein the entire body touches the ground. They should kneel and perform the namaskar.
Method 2.
Complete the Pradakshine and Namaskara in Maha Praakara first. Then perform the same at Pancha Vrindavana, Ashvatha, Shamee and Tulasi.
Yes. As stated before, if one is sincere and devoted to Hari, Vayu and Rayaru, there are many ways of performing Seva to Rayaru. The following section lists some of the main ones:
1) Sitting in one place and reciting Sri Raghavendra stotra 108 times.2) Hejje namaskar (Going around the Brindavana Sannidhana advancing one foot at a time and performing namaskar for each stride)
3) Urulu Seva – Rolling on the body and going around the Brindavana Sannidhana. (This is forbidden for women.)Reciting Sri Raghavendra Stotra 108 times while performing abhisheka for Rayara Brindavana with cow’s milk.
4) Going through religious works composed by great gyaanis; some of the popular ones are Sudha, Parimala, Sri Madhva Vijaya, Sri Raghavendra Vijaya etc.
In all of the above cases, the main ingredient is sincerity, pure heart and intense devotion.
Certainly. This is also acceptable to Rayaru. However, the person on whose behalf this Seva is being undertaken should be around.
Even though not many people can prove with absolute certainty that it was Rayaru himself who appeared in their dreams and blessed them, there is no doubt whatsoever that serving him with a pure heart and intense devotion will fetch his grace, maybe in a dream and sometimes even directly!
As stated earlier, at the beginning of the Seva the devotee should set aside a new, unpeeled coconut. After the completion of the Seva, this coconut is symbolically offered to Rayaru and returned with mantrakshate. This is called Poorna Phala.
After receiving the holy coconut from the priest, one should handle it with great care and respect. It should not be kept on the ground or made impure in any way. It should be brought home and worshipped with devotion as it represents Rayaru’s blessings. Later it should be consumed (without cooking) in the company of close relatives.
Since it is absolutely certain that Rayaru will bless you with fruits appropriate to the level of service performed, one should be patient until the desired result is obtained. In addition, all the discipline and devotion displayed during the Seva should be retained as much as possible, as long as possible. This is a sure way of obtaining Rayaru’s grace.
