Sosale is an ancient village
on the banks of holy Cauvery River near
its confluence with the Kabini River, in Mysore district. There is fair sprinkling population of
Madhwas in Triplicane – i.e., those who follow the ideals propagated by Sri Madhvacharya.
Understand that the
writings of Sri Madhvacharya comprises of
thirty-seven works, collectively called Sarva-moola
Grantha. There are many commentaries propounding the
theology of Sri Madhvacharya. His philosophy
was Dvaitha siddantha ~ the duality
theology. In their Guru parampara Acharyas starting with Sriman Maha Vishnu Himself, there are karmaja
Devatas which includes Sri Prahladarajar.
Prahlada as we know is famed for
his blemishless devotion to Sri Maha Vishnu, despite attempts by his father
Hiranyakashipu, to turn him to the contrary. He is accorded special importance
as being the reason for the Narasimha
avatâr. The puranic instance of
Sri Prahlada makes us understand that God is everywhere and He comes readily to
save his devotee in distress. Constant,
unquestioned, pure faith in HIM is devotion.
Sri Vyasaraja Mutt propagating Dvaitam is a holy seat for
Madhwas. Its seat is at Sosale and one
of its many branches is at Thiruvallikkeni at East Tank Square street adjacent
to Thiruvadi Kovil. On 20th Mar 2014, there was purappadu of Prahlada of the Mutt in kuthirai vahanam. Here are some photos of the occasion.
In 1967 AVM produced a telugu film titled ‘Bhakta
Prahlada’ starring child actress
Rojaramani as Prahlada, S. V. Ranga Rao as Hiranya Kasipu and Anjali Devi as Leelavati. The film was
eventually dubbed into Tamil with the same name.
