The sevai of Swamy Desikan delighting us all with the RathnAngi and dhivya tEjas of our AchAryan accompanied by Yoga HayagrIvan blessed to Him by Garuda Bhagavaan in person at Oushadha Giri is a feast for the eyes and one can say that he or she has attained PiRavi Payan . Swamy Desikan and Yoga Hayagrivan will climb the hills step by step to the accompaniment of the big gjOshti ( little boys and senior VidhvAns and AchAryAs) and go thru the newly constructed MahA mantapam on top and make a PradhakshiNam of the outter and the inner PrAkArams of Lord HayagrIvan's mian sannidhi . After that , Yoga Hayagrivan will be united with Moola BhEram and Uthsava BhEram Haya grIvan in the garbha graham and Swamy Desikan will be seated in the small four pillar Mantapam in front facing the MoolasthAnam .
