As already announced Diwan Venkanna the day and the date of Brindavana Pravesha to the devotees of the world: Shraavana Bahula Dwiteeya Friday Shaalivaahana Shake 1593, Virodhikrutnaama Samavatsara i.e. August 11th.1671, the devotees and sajjanas rushed to Mantralaya, they came in streams and streams. On Thursday Shraavana Bahula Pratipada Rayaru performed the Pooja of Sri Moola Ramadevarau, held discussions pertaining to the Acharya Tatva had bhikshaa. Rayaru was quite happy, never perturbed. On the contrary gave all the instructions of the next day of Brindavana Pravesha.
Early morning of Shraavana Bahula Bidige i.e Dwiteeya Rayaru woke up at the Brahmi Muhurta performed the Aahneeka, Japa, Namaskara to Sri MoolaRamadevaru, Mangalarati to Kulaswami Sri Srinivasa,Tulasi Vandana, Go Vatsa pooja Go graasa Paatha Pravachana to the shishyas. Though it was too early morning large number of Devotees,Pandits,Scholars,Saints,all dignitaries from all walks of life gathered there. They were amazed to see the Divya Kalaa, the glittering and the shining bliss of Rayaru.
All the relatives, Shreepadaputra Sri Laxminarayanacharya, nephew Sri Narayanacharya, devotees,Diwan Venkanna were filled with grief, tears rolling from their eyes.Venkanna told Gurudeva everything is ready as per your Aadesha.Holding the hand of Sri Yogeendrateertharu Rayaru came out of Sri Venkateshwara Temple, Already the elephant of the Mutt Maahendra was waiting before the temple. Rayaru holding Danda Kamandalu Pooja Pettige of Aaraadhya Sri Moola Ramadevaru sat on the elephant,decorated with golden Ambaari. Thousands were shouting :
Rajadhiraja Paramahamsa Yatisarvabhouma Gurusarvabhouma Sri MadRaghavendrateertha KarunaaSamudra Ughe Ughe Jaya Jaya.
The procession paased through the main gate (agasi) and the chaavadi of Manchali. Various types of Vaadyas, musical instruments were playing, Dasas were singing. But the atmosphere was completely grief striken. The procession concluded on the bank of Tungabhadra near the Garbhaalaya. Opposite of Garbhaalaya already Sri Praandevaru was ready for installation by the successor of Rayaru Sri Yogeendrateertharu. Owing to the Shraavanmaasa Tungabhadra was flowing in full spate touching the bank on both the sides. Even the river Tungabhadra also joined with deep sorrow of the devotees in Mantralaya. A large gathering of devotees were simply looking at Rayaru. A dumb youth by seeing Rayaru at that time came running near to Rayaru praising Rayaru, as he immediately attained the power of Speech by the Krupa Karuna Drushti of Rayaru. A lame man also got his legs to walk properly by the Anugraha of Rayaru. At that time a dalit woman came praying to Rayaru thather eight years old son is suffering from leprosy, kindly cure this disease. Soon Rayaru listened her request and cured. All these Miracles happened before entering the Brindavana Pravesha.All the satvikas, sajjanas and the devotees of Rayaru were simply worrying, that from tomorrow onwards we cannot see Gururaya, as we are seeing now. The beloved cows of Sri Mutt were simply shedding the tears and gazing Rayaru with deep concern. Even the Elephant kid Laxmi of the Vidya Mutt, though offering chaamara seva to Rayaru, was weeping and weeping. The whole atmosphere was murmuring Raghavendra Raghavendra. Seeing the great personality of Rayaru with Gandha, Tulasi Maala the gathered mass had no words to describe!
A few minutes were left to Rayaru to enter the Brindavana, Rayaru seeing the devotees, smiling raised the hands and blessed them. Looked at the devotees with immense affection and love. Rayaru offered the Padukas to Sri Yogeendrateertharu and asked him to continue the Mutt in the same traditional style:Paatha,Pravachana, Grantha Rachana and Bhakta’s Uddhaara.
Dear Devotees the day has come that I have to disappear from your sight. From tomorrow you cannot see me like this. At the sametime I am not giving up my body(Deha Tyaaga), I will not be away from my body and at the same time I am obeying the Sankalpa of Sri Hari and the prerana of Sri Vayudevaru, so entering the Brindavana today Sa Shareera and stay there for sevenhundred years to Bless the Devotees of the world. As per the order of Sri Hari and Sri Vayudevaru and the opinion of the great Yatis to whom I respect and regard them as guru. They will be always blessing me while sitting in the Brindavana. Do not feel sorry that I am disappearing from your vision.As per the sankalpa of Sri Hari and the blessings of Praanadevaru I will be quite comfortable in the Neela Brindavana.

Our Culture, universal mankind always throbs for the welfare of all the chetanas, jeevas as per their ability and nature. We have to worship SriManNarayana.He is the only God who can free from all these births and deaths and impart Moksha to us:

Our divine shruti says this.Sri Hari is the only God to bestow permanent happiness i. e. Moksha.
Sri Hari has to Bless all of us, so I am entering Brindavana sitting with padmaasana in the japa of Sri Hari always. So I am concluding my avatara today on this shraavana bahula bidige. From this day onwards till seven hundred years I will be in the Brindavana as per the adesha of Sri Hari. The accumulated punya and the punya acquired in the japa in the Brindavana is completely reserved for all the devotees of the world, irrespective of caste, creed, religion and nation.
Dear Devotees, please do not have hatred towards other religions and sects. Other caste people they may offer the Naivedya in their own way and style. But our Sri Hari will accept the things which are dear to him in his own form of purity and sanctity. Sri Hari is the only God who can impart Moksha to the able jeevas.Shruti is describing that Sarvottama Sri Hari Narayana is the only God to relieve us from all the sorrows and miseries and take us to Permanent happiness i. e. Moksha:

Devotees in order to fulfill the will and the Desire of Sri Hari, today I am concluding my avatara and stay in the Brindavana for seven hundred years and always engage myself in the Japa of Sri Hari. For this noble task I am entering Brindavana Sa Shareera. As per the Manudharma love and respect your own religious formalities and the traditions with unalterable faith and devotion .Live with peace and harmony. Be kind and courteous to others feelings and ideas. Do not hurt the feelings of others. Don’t be proud, be away from egoism. Think about others act softly, be selfless, polite and kind. We are all the servants of Sri Hari. Always speak true, Universal affection and love of mankind one should have in his life. Respect and regard the elders Stottamaru and Swaottamaru. Repentance feeling one should have when ever he does some mistakes. Be kind towards all the living animals, creatures, maintain good character and always be in touchof noble philosophy of Sri Madhwacharya which inculcates the real values of life and become a reader of Sadgranthas. Though I enter Brindavana the Granthas of Sri Madacharya,The Teekas of Malkheda Sri Jaiteertharu and the granthas composed by me are all here, read them, follow them and act accordingly.
Dear Devotees today I wish to say that Strong faith belief and devotion towards Sri Hari is the only way to liberate from all the sorrows and worries. Sri Hari is the only omnipotent and omniscient who can impart Chaturvidha Purushaartha to us.
YOU ALL MUST LEAD A HAPPY LIFE THAT IS THE ONLY INTENTION FOR THIS I AM GOING TO BE HERE IN THE NEELA BRINDAVANA FOR A LONG JAPA OF SRI HARI:

So Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu with great concern and affection addressed in Mantralaya to the gathered mass on that day of Shraavana Bahula Dwiteeya. With smile raised his hands towards the devotees Blessed and gave Abhaya to all.
Then Rayaru climbed the steps of Garbhaalaya one by one while entered the 6x6 square Antarguha, Rayaru holding the hand to Sri Yogeendrateertharu, bade farewell with a smile. spread the krishnajina sat in Padmaasana with Danda Kamandalu and Japamaala. At that moment there are no words to describe shining face of Rayaru with Divine Bliss. Completely involved in the world of Sri Moola Rama,Narahari,Rama,Krishna, Vedavyasa and egaged in the JAPA : OM OM OM OM OM OM holding the Japamaala in the hand. All took the Divya Darshana of Gururayaru. The Omkaara filled the whole universe at that time. Devotees with emotion cried with loud voice:
