SrI:

Dear SrI Sukumar:

The name "Hayagriva " is made up of two individual
words : Haya nad GrIva . Haya means horse and GrIva means 
neck . The Lord , who is considered as the First among
AvathArAs and linked also to VyUha Moorhtys is 
BhagavAn HayagrIvan . 

The offering that is pleasign to Him is 
" Horse Oats" or HayagrIva.

A Saint of MaadhvA tradition by the Name of 
VaadhirAja Theerthar used to offer that naivEdhyam
to the Lord holding above his head and close his eyes . 
Lord HayagrIvan would appear in the form of a horse, 
place His tow front legs on the shoulders of the AchAryan
and consume the NaivEdhyam. You can see a picture of
this event in Uduppi Mutt walls.

Same presence of Lord HayagrIva and consumption of
the food offerign special to Him has happened in
recent memory to a SrI VaishNavite AchAryan 
belonging to SrImad Andavan lineage . 

You must recieve ManthrOpadesam from ParakAla matam
Jeeyars on Lord HayagrIvan's manthram and learn
about the correct way to perform AarAdhanam of 
this Lord , who the AadhAram for Sarva VidhyAs.
