hayagriva swarupa

[Guest guest]

Dear devotees,

 

A short piece of information on Hayagriya devata.

 

Haya-griva is the devata who presides over entire sastras. Among all the

sastras, Veda vidya is the supreme. One can recollect his lilas in rescuing the

Vedas and giving them back to Brahma.

 

Since, he presides over the entire veda sastra and hence veda-patipaadya and

hence veda swarupa. The entire vedic literature is in the form of metre or

chandas. The main metres are 1) Gayatri 2) Ushnik 3) Anushtup 4) Brihati 5)

Pamkthi 6) Trishtup 7) Jagati. The Veda is saptha (7) chandho maya. Now, the

Paramatma is visualized as having these 7 metres or chandas as his vadana

(face). So, Vedapurusha rupa Paramaatma is having “saptha-chandhomaya

sarira†otherwise called “sapthinâ€. The articulate sound in the form of

Vaikhari comes out from Griva (Kantha / Neck). And hence, the Veda Purusha

Paramaatma is called “Sapth-chandhomaya (Vak/Veda rupa) Griva†or

“Sapthi-Grivaâ€. " Aswa " or Horse is also called “Sapthiâ€. And hence

the name “HAYA-GRIVAâ€.

 

This Haya-Griva is the Veda Purusha and his horse-like face is the symbolic

representation of Saptha (7) Chando-maya Veda Sastra.

 

With regards,

sriram
