Guest guest Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Sri Mahavishnu---Bagvan Sriman Narayanan--is universal cause---is in full form of all things small or great--- is over-lord who supports, controls, and rules all the objects in the world as the Anthar-yamee, is the material cause, with Prakrithi as HIs body, ---is the sentient cause by His sankalpa,---is auxiliary cause by otheruseful objects in the world which are also His body,---is without an equal or superior ,---is supreme deity who is worshipped by the observance of all religious duties that have been ordained,---is impartial by nature and comes to succour of all without distinction,--- is the means for salvation ,---is endowed with endlessauspicious qualities in all His manifestations ,---is in lovely form having all the elements which adorn Him as weapons&jewels,---is the fountain of mercy&saviour,---is having lotus-eyes,---is having broad chest as the throne of Mahalakshmi,---is having foot which is the source of Ganga,---is the medicinal herb in Oushatadri His first Avatar is SRi Hayagreeva Avatar.His star is THiruvonam(Sravanam)Legend says that two Moorthis are facing south----One is Sri Nataraja (Rudra) in dancing posture and another is Sri Rangaraja( Mahavishnu) in a reclining posture. Those who worship either one of them , there will be no fear to them from YAMA-the demon. Rudra(Paramasiva)'s star is Thiruvathirai and Bagvan's star is Thiruvonam. In tamil, only two stars are having "Thiru" as affixture to ATHIRAI star and ONAM star. Hence these two stars are important and auspicious. To vaishnavites, Thiruvonam star is most auspicious. This is the birth star of Swami Desikan also a great Vaishnavite Acharya. This great Acharya, having birth star as Thiruvonam (Sravanam) worshipped the first avatar Sri Hayagreeva whose star also is Thiruvonam. Through Sri Garuthman as his Acharya, Swami Desikan was able to get the presence of Sri Hayagreeva who appeared before him and blessed him with all knowledge. He, thus, became the Master of all sciences,and arts. All words were ever before him sothat he could choose and use them as he wanted. Not only Nataraja and Sri Rangaraja are facing south but also Swami Desikan is facing south in Thiruvaheendrapuram where he lived most of his life. Those who worship Swami Desikan here , they will get rid of YAMABHAYAM( fear from Yama-the demon) and also other worldly fears and get salvation The unique feature is that first Avatar Sri Hayagreevar is still here in Archa form bestowing all benevolence on the devotees and the Acharya who was blessed by Sri Hayagreeva is also here in Archa form giving his blessings to devotees. Another unique feature is that Swami Desikan is in a high pedestal than the presiding Deity Sri Devanatha , denoting the importance of Acharya Thus, we see the coincidence of presence of first Avatar Sri Hayagreeva and the famous avatar of Acharyan( both are Thiruvonam star), the Oushatadri and the presiding deity Sri DEvanatha We cannot see anywhere such a wonderful combination of God---Sishya bhava, the medicinal herb Hill and the spantaneous ANUGRAHA of SriHayagreeva. Hundreds of devotees throng the Hills to worship Lord Hayagreeva and to get His blessings for writing examinations,tests, for attending interviews(placing instruments, hall-tickets,writing-pens,appointment orders etc at His feet) to begin business ( placing fresh account books at His feet) to get rid of evil things(placing lemon fruits at His feet ) to get well-versed in all arts & sciences ( placing honey in front of Him and taking it after offering it to Him) to get abundant wealth (offering cardamon garland, lotus garland0 in whatever form, in whatever manner they like, they intend to worship.Service to Bhaagavathas is service to God. These devotees ( children Of Sri Hayagreeva )have to be protected from scorching sun/heavy rain/snowfall in all natural seasons when they come to worship Him. With that aim , Srikainkarya has constructed the first phase of Mandap at a cost of Rs 2--45 lakhs; This mandap is not sufficient . Hence, the construction of final stage of Mahamandap has been takenup at a huge cost of Rs eight lakhs. Unless the philanthropists/asthikas/rich persons who are having mind to donate substantially come forward, this task cannot be fulfilled. Srikainkarya has taken up the task relying fully on those bhakthas/noble-minded people The names of those who donate Rs 50,000/ and above will be inscribed in the marble stone that will be put up at the Mahamandap. This can be given in three terms.They will be presented with a silver coin (10 gms) depicting Sri Hayagreeva for pooja.They will also be presented with a letter-pad size art-paper colour photo of 12 Sri Hayagreevars with dyana slokas for meditation & jabam Sri kainkarya requests to send contributions by way of local cheques(Chennai) D.D.
