Guest guest Posted September 15, 1999 Report Share Posted September 15, 1999 Last evening , I had the privilege of attending the Thirumanjanam of our Lord Peirya Thiruvadi at the Sri Lakshmi Temple in Boston. I was told that yesterday was Garuda panchami / Garuda Jayanthi by the priests in the temple. It indeed was a magnificient sight to witness Pakshirajan in all his glory. I was told by the priest that , generally Garudar is always in front of Perumal in all temples and is "ugram". ( Kindly pardon my language. I do not have literary skills like the renowed members of the group). However, I was informed that only in the Lakshmi temple he is in front of Thayar and is a Shantha Swaroopi. Can any members of the group throw more light on this? The Garuda Jayanthi concluded by the recital of Garuda Dhandakam and aarathi. I also remember, last year Sri Murlaidhar Swamin, had written a great article our Lord Pakshirajan. The errors in this mail are solely mine. I request the learned members of the group to correct me if in error.
