                         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

endlessauspicious qualities in all His manifestations ,---is in lovely form

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. ( out-stations) drawn in favour of srikainkarya
and sent to Srikainkarya(D.Soundararajan) F5 Chandra Flats 90 Brindavan St
