♦ Introduction:
The well-known Sanskrit hymn Sri Hari Vayustuti was written by the renowned Sri Trivikrama Panditacharya under the guidance of Sri Madhvacharya, and it honors Lord Hari (Vishnu) and Vayu Deva (the Wind God). This classic shloka book is an indispensable spiritual stotra book for anyone seeking knowledge and dedication, since it is firmly based in Dvaita philosophy. Being a mantra book, it resonates with divine energy, asking for blessings and clarity in everyday reciting.
♦ A tale about the book Sri Hari Vayustuti:
The Sri Hari Vayustuti is a holy work that originated from a remarkable and extremely devout event in the life of Sri Trivikrama Panditacharya, a renowned intellectual who first disagreed with Sri Madhvacharya and his Dvaita philosophy. Ultimately, Madhvacharya's scriptural expertise and spiritual profundity won over Trivikrama after a heated argument that lasted many days. This change made him his committed student, and the Sri Hari Vayustuti is one of the most touching devotional hymns in Vaishnavite tradition.
According to tradition, Trivikrama Panditacharya once saw something truly amazing at the Udupi Krishna Matha. Upon entering the holy place to worship, he observed Sri Madhvacharya simultaneously giving arghya (ritual water) to three gods: Lord Sri Krishna, Lord Vayu, and Lord Narayana. Madhavacharya, who is seen as the third reincarnation of Vayu (after Hanuman and Bhima), was not only a brilliant scholar but also a realized soul who personified the wind god's might and devotion. This was a divine revelation.
Trivikrama Panditacharya wrote 41 verses in praise of Sri Hari and Sri Vayu after being overcome by this spiritual sight. These mantra book became known as Sri Hari Vayustuti, in which each line throughout all of his incarnations—Hanuman, Bhima, and Madhva—praises the supreme Lord Hari and his most beloved devotee, Vayu. Sri Madhvacharya himself later wrote the last two lines, known as Phala Shruti, to complete this hymn, which is full of spiritual power.
As a result, Sri Hari Vayustuti is a sacred stotra book that serves as a heavenly testament to change, love, and realization, continuing to inspire countless followers on their spiritual path.
♦ The rationale for using or reading the book:
