Dear Bhagavathas,

Let me share my experiences on the occasion of Garuda
Sevai @ Kanchipuram.

On this auspicious day (25th May, Saturday),  I had
the unparalleled fortune   of witnessing the famous
Garuda Sevai @ Kanchi Varahdarajaperumal's  sannidhi.
 
 To witness the brahmothsavam, devotees from different
places had literally  (means literally and nothing
else) thronged the road leading to His temple  and
there was literally no place to drop a sand particle
for nearly more  than half-a-kilometre of the 50- feet
wide road.
 
 The occasion was  great and the setting resplendant.
Different bhajanai  ghostis were performing kirtans
and Lord Varadharaja should have been  extremely
satisifed for their dedication to His service and
interest in  Him  evinced by a mini- ocean of
humanity.
 
 A pair of eyes was simply not enough for the darshan
of the Lord who , in  all His splendour was sitting
majestically atop the powerful shoulders of 
Garudaazhvaar and gracing the streets of Holy Kanchi
bestowing His  Causeless   Mercy on His devotees.
Words simply can't describe the glories  of Lord  
Varadharaja and Garudaazhvaar majestically blessing
the whole of  Kanchi  and   the world on this glorious
day. The Lord with His dazzling  opulence and  
parapharnelia was simply much more  One just has to 
experience this and this  experience is sure to give
more joy to a sincere  soul than the joy derived
   from serving the Lord in SriVaikuntam.  The Jeeyar
of Ahobila Matam also  graced Kanchi with His presence
on this occasion.  

 I take this opportunity to pray to Lord Varada on
behalf of all of us to  continuously bestow upon us,
devotion unto Him. As King Kulasekaraazhwaar  says in
Mukundamala.......Avismruti: thvath charanaaravinde
bhave bhave  mey  asthu bhavath prasadaath..... May
the boon of remembrance of your Lotus  feet   be
bestowed upon Me , birth after birth. !

May the Supreme and unparallelled Lord Nrsimha grace
all of us with  unalloyed devotion unto Him and unto
His confidential bhakta janaas.
 
All glories to Lord Krishna's bhaktha janaas ! Lokaas
samasthaa sukhino bhavanthu ! 

Andaal thiruvadigalae saranam !
Aacharyan thiruvadigalae saranam !


Adiyaen Narayana Yathindra Dhaasan ,
Srivathsan.
