Hayagriva Vandanam

Hayagriva Vandanam

Every Avatar of Sriman Narayana had a specific purpose. Hayagriva (The Horse Faced God) had the sole purpose of restoration of Vedas, which was stolen by Asuras Madhu and Kaitaba from Brahma. Hayagriva is considered as sagara of Gyana. There is famous sloka of Hayagriva, which says I worship Lord Hayagriva, who is embodiment of knowledge, who is pure as a pure crystal, and who is the basis of all knowledge. It is this Gnana sagara that holds Brahmma and Goddess Saraswathi. Sriman Narayana clad in blue with a human form and with a horse head(White) descended on earth to retrieve vedas from the Asuras.

Gnanananda Mayam Devam Nirmala Spatika Kruthim Aadharam Sarva Vidyanam Hayagrivam Upasmahe
This sloka is from Purana, is used by Sri Deskan in his beautiful Hayagriva stotram. It is said that Peria Thiruvadi, Sri Garuda initiated Sri Vedantha Desikan into Haygriva Mantra. Sri Vedantha Desikan's Sanskrit poetry , style , rhyming are a clear evidence to the grace of Lord Haygriva.
