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
