Lord Hayagriva....!

Today (5-9-6) I went to Sri Hayagrivaswami temple in a village called chettipunniyam near chengalpet. It as an ancient temple situated in the remote village nearly 2 km from the national highway.This temple is considered to be the best for having good education, knowledge and grasping capacities since Lord Hayagreeva(Horse faced god) is responsible for all these things.( The history goes back that he fought back the Vedas from the rakshahas when the latter hide them under the seas…!).

The reasons for my visit were, Since I am an regular reader of Kumudam Jothidam I wish to visit this temple a long back since its author has mentioned the significance of the temple and also refering it very often.Next one is that day(Avani Thiruvonam) is the jayanthi(birth) festival of Sri Hayagreevar and the final one is to seek his blessings in my future ventures.

Regarding the temple it is small but neatly maintained.It has a rare kind of tree which is mentioned by saint Andal in her Nacchiyar thirumozhi.Another siginificance is that the idol of the lord was worshipped by the saint Sri Vedanta desika by himself.

One more thing I like is that one among the golden schemes of Ms. Jayalalitha “Annadhana scheme” is being implemented here.!!!!!
