Day 4 of Vaduvur Sri Ramanavami Brahmotsavam celebrated on Apr 11, 2014 - Garuda Sevai

As per Sri Vaduvur Govindan, "Vedathma Vihageswaraha" (Lord Garuda is Veda swaroopam). Veda mentions the Glory of Lord Garuda in the following stotra

Sukarnosi Garuthmaan........... which says each part of Veda mentioned below describes Lord Garuda

  • "Trivith Saama" - is head of Garuda

  • "Gayathram Saama" - is eyes of Garuda

  • "Sthomam Saama" - is Aathma of Garuda

  • "Vaama Devyam" - is body of Garuda

  • "Brigathu and Rathantharam" - is wings of Garuda

  • "Yagna Yagniyam" - is tail of Garuda

  • All the chandhas of Veda are the part of Garuda's body

Hence the description is apt to call Lord Garuda as "Vedathma Vihageswaraha".
