O Narayana. I take refuge in you. The shAshtras proclaim that one should always remember Lord Narayana & especially so at the time of departing from this world. Our next birth depends on our thoughts during the last moment of our life. Therefore, I beg You to grace me with Your remembrance at the time of my death. You are full of auspicious qualities & devoid of all defects. Hence, You are known as Narayana. You are the refuge of Sri Lakshmi herself. What then need be said of a mere mortal like me? Therefore, You are my only refuge.

Therefore, You are my only refuge.

SRI RAGHAVENDRA SWAMY

Sri Raghavendra was the greatest author and preacher in the line of Madhva in the last 500 years. He wrote countless books establishing Krishna as the Absolute Truth. He gave special stress to the chanting of the names of Krishna, and in particular he recommended the chanting of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra. While he was present in the world, he performed many miracles, including bringing the dead back to life. After completing his preaching work, he chose to enter "jiva-samadhi", where a saint is buried in his samadhi while still living. Before entering the samadhi he told his disciples he would live physically for 100 years, in his books for 300 years, and in his samadhi for 700 years. He ordered his disciples to place 1,008 shalagrama shilas on top of his head, and then cover him with dirt. Till this day Sri Raghavendra is still living within the samadhi in mantralaya. He has manifested himself to many people, including a British government officer who came to confiscate the ashram's lands. This instance was recorded by the British officer in the government gazette at the time. The scriptures establish Sri Raghavendra as a partial incarnation of Bhakta Prahlada, the great devotee of Sri Narasimha Avatara. You will find in Raghavendra temples, the utsava murti (festival deity) is not of Raghavendra, but of Bhakta Prahlada. The main "deity" will be a replica of his samadhi (called a Brindavana) with dirt taken from the original samadhi in Mantralaya. In front of this will be a deity of Bhakta Prahlada. They treat the samadhi as the body of Sri Raghavendra and bathe, dress, and apply twelve tilaks to it just as we do to our body. Devotees of Sri Raghavendra pray to him with the following mantra: pujyaya raghavendraya satyadharmarataya ca bhajatam kalpavrikshaya namatam kamadhenave Sri Raghavendra is like a kalpa-vriksha (a desire fulfilling tree) for he always takes care of his devotees' spiritual needs.
