PAAJAKA KSHETRA - (BIRTH PLACE OF SRI MADWACHARYA)

It is known as belle and moodumata.

This is a part of the Parashurama Kshetra created by Parashurama roopi Paramatma. This is the birth place of Sri Madwacharya, it is known as Kulaguru Kshetra too.

There is an old ancestoral home of Sri Madwacharya where he was born and where he had his early education. He is said to have performed several miracles here. One can even now witness his writing tablet of stone, the large sized stone vessels used for stocking curd and milk. There are also other places where he performed miracles the tree which sprouted out of a dry stick, the tamrind tree the seeds of which he gave to the money- lender ete.

The most holy places here are the Vasudeva Thirtha and the temple of Sri Madwacharya, where one can see his footprints. Certain other spots connected with occult powers shown by the great acharya are here too.

Paajaka is encircled by four holy thirthas. They are Parashu, Dhanush, Gada, and Bana thirthas. There are two small hills. One is that of Parashurama giri and other is that of Kunjaru or Vimanagiri. Vimanagiri is about 300 feet having the temple of Durga or Mahishasura Mardhini. There are steps to reach the temple and one can also go up in a car as there is a motorable road up the hill.

One can also witness the place where Sri Madwacharya trampled to death manimantha who had assumed Sarparoopa .

Himalaya is great because it is where holy rivers Ganga and other rivers flow out. Even greater is paajaka which is the birthplace of Sri Madwa who is described as Satyalokadhipati, Shudda Bhagavatadharma Ratha and the incarnation of Sri Vayudevaru. Hence it is the holiest place on the earth.
