---Garudan is the embodiment of Vedhas.  His wings represent each 
Vedha.  His breath is full of Vedhic sounds.  His sound is 
Pranavakaram.  So when Garudan carries Sriman Narayana on his 
shoulders, he delares to the world that the Sriman Narayana is the 
Supreme Deity; in other words, the Vedha Purushan declares that the 
Supreme Deity is none other than Sriman Narayanan.  That is why, 
Garuda Sevai in the temples is considered important.  This is the 
explanation given by PBA Swamy. 
Incidentally, have we ever come across any vahanam of any other 
deity  possessing even rudimentary knowledge of Vedhas?

Dasan,
Madhavan
