Dear BhakthAs :
Garuda Sevais in the Months of Chitthirai and
VaikAsi as well as
those during BrahmOthsavams in particular (
Thirumala , Kaanchi
et al) are very special .
During those Garuda Sevais , Garuda BhagavAn
saluted as
Veda Purusha carries the Lord on His back and holds
the Lord's Thiruvadis ( Essence of Vedams) on His
palms
and displays them to us and reminds us
that those sacred
feet of His Lord is the ever present protection for
us .
The Vaibhavam of Garudan has been celebrated by
Swamy Desikan in His two SrI Sookthis
:
1.Garuda DaNDakam : 10th ebook (http://www.sundarasimham.org
)
2. Garuda PanchAsath : 65th ebook (http://www.ahobilavalli.org )
Earlier in the year , we had the bhagyam of
enjoying
the "Twelve" Garuda Sevais at ThirunAngUr Dhivya
dEsams
and Thirumangai Mannan's MangaLAsAsanam ,
Manjal
KuLIcchal and other releated uthsavams
.
In a few days , we will have the bhAgyam of
witnessing
the 12 dhivya Garuda sevai of Thirukkudanathai
based
EmperumAns at Big Street , KumbakONam .
Pandal
full of PerumALs from AarAvamudhan ,
ChakrapANI ,
Raamar , VarAha PerumAL to others in and around
Thirukkudanathai on Akshaya Trutheeyai ( May 8,
2008) .
On May 26 , 2008 , there will be a not well known
but
equally eye filling Garuda Sevai of 22 archA
Moorthys
from the dhivya dEsam of VeNNARRangarai ( Three
Sannidhis celebrated by Thirumangai Mannan ) at
Tanjore . As a seat of Maratta Kings , the Cauvery
delta area
has contributed so very much to Carnatic Music
( The Musical
Trinity ) and temple culture . Local kings and
Merchants have
built manyTemples for Sriman NarayaNa . Twenty two
of
them will bless the devotees on May 26 with
Thirumangai
Mannan seated on Hamsa Vaahanam as ParAnkusa Nayaki
.
