Thus composed simply by the ascetic named Sri Raghavendra. May this morning resolve prose be for the pleasure of Madhava and Madhva. || Thus the Pratah Sankalpa Gadyam composed by Sri Raghavendra Teertha. ||

🪔 Reflection:

Pratah Sankalpa Gadyam was composed by none other than the great Sri Raghavendra Swami (17th century). Gadya means prayer in a prose / sentence form (unlike stotras that are generally in poetry form). The entire Pratah Sankalpa Gadyam that runs into approximately 5 pages, is just one sentence! Yes, such is a the skill of our great Sri Raghavendra Swami.

Composed in the 17th century by this luminous saint of the Madhva lineage (1595-1671), the 62nd pontiff of Uttaradi Math, Rayaru—as devotees lovingly call him—entered a living samadhi at Mantralayam, where his presence still pulses with miracles, drawing millions seeking solace. His life, a beacon of Dvaita Vedanta, emphasized unswerving bhakti to Vishnu, authoring treasures like this gadyam to fortify the soul against maya. Historically, Rayaru revived the sampradaya amid philosophical tempests, his works a fortress for truth, blending rigorous logic with tender surrender. This gadyam holds eternal significance: a daily sankalpa not of rigid ritual, but total saranagati—resolving every breath, every act as pooja to Rama, crediting all to Hari's grace through the guru parampara of Vayu-Madhva-Rayaru. It's a lifeline for jivas adrift in samsara, invoking Pranava's depths to align the heart with the divine rhythm.

Imagine whispering these words as the first rays kiss your skin: What if your coffee sip became an offering? Your work email, a mantra? Rayaru teaches that true freedom blooms not in isolation, but in weaving God into the mundane—prompted by Mukhyaprana's whisper, lifted from ego's chains, eyes opened to Rama's infinite forms: the cosmic dancer in creation's whirl, the gentle guardian in a child's laugh. Here, pride dissolves, envy evaporates; only bliss remains, echoing Gayatri's six-fold song across worlds. In our frenzy of notifications and noise, this vow asks: Have you felt the pull of that inner wind, urging you to see the Lord in the storm and the still? What chains would break if you started each day not with "mine," but "Thine"—surrendering the ledger of deeds to His ocean of mercy? Rayaru's words aren't mere prose; they're a bridge to ananda, where devotion isn't duty, but delight. Let them stir you: Rise tomorrow, heart aflame, and vow—will you let Rama steer your day? In that yielding lies the profound secret: We are not doers, but danced by the Divine. Oh, seeker, what resolve calls to you at first light? Surrender, and watch the universe unfold as your eternal pooja.

1. In opening cascade, Rayaru bows to the guru lineage—Madhva's feet as the indweller—unveiling Pranava's vastness as the seed of all Vedas and mantras. It's a call to awaken: Imagine your mind as a sacred vessel, holding infinite divine qualities, free from ego's shadows. What if every word you speak echoed Vishnu's grace? Rayaru, the 17th-century Dvaita stalwart who revitalized the tradition amid debates, reminds us gurus are bridges to the infinite, dispelling doubts with mercy. In our hurried lives, pause—can you sense that inner regulator guiding you beyond sin's grasp? Surrender here, and watch compassion flood your dawn. 🙏

2. Delving deeper, this section paints cosmic cycles: creation, sustenance, dissolution through Aniruddha, Pradyumna, Sankarshana—roots of all forms. Rayaru evokes liberation's path, from Viraja's bath to Shweta Dwipa's vision, where bliss manifests beyond karma's veil. Historically, as pontiff, he composed this amid his Brindavana entry in 1671, a living testament to eternal presence. Ponder: In pralaya's rest or creation's burst, where do you find your soul's repose? Like the Gayatri's six-fold rhythm, let devotion pulse through your being—unveiling Rama's splendor in every breath. What illusions cloud your inner light today? Let Vayu's wind clear them. 🙏

3. Here, the invocation peaks in adoration of Rama's myriad forms—Lakshmi-Narasimha to Ramachandra—lord of time, senses, and solar lineage. Rayaru weaves mantras like threads of light, proclaiming God's inconceivable pervasion. This gadyam's significance? A daily armor in Madhva sampradaya, fortifying against maya since Rayaru's era of philosophical revival. Envision Hanuman at Rama's feet—pure service. Ask yourself: In chaos of duties, do you see the divine in every role? Embrace tolerance as an ocean; let offenses dissolve. What if your heart became a throne for Sita's lord? Feel the warmth of that eternal embrace. 🙏

4. Culminating in resolve, Rayaru vows all actions as pooja—prompted by Mukhyaprana, every karma surrendered to Rama. Composed for Madhava-Madhva's pleasure, it echoes Rayaru's legacy of over 40 works, drawing pilgrims to Mantralayam for miracles. Simple yet profound: Life's not yours to claim; it's a divine dance. Reflect: As you rise, what intentions steer your day? Prompted by inner wind, purify intellect—make routines offerings. In a world of self, dare to say, "Not I, but Thou." What freedom awaits in that vow? Let this sankalpa transform your mornings into eternal devotion. 🙏
