The Garuda is considered the king of birds and a holy bird that resembles an eagle in Hinduism. In the Rigveda, a celestial deva with wings named Garutman is mentioned. Garuda is described as a symbol of courage in the Shatapatha Brahmana, which is a part of the Yajurveda scripture. According to the Mahabharata, Garuda is a swift being with the ability to change into any form and enter any location. In the epics, he is a strong creature whose flapping wings could prevent the rotation of hell, earth, and heaven. He is said to be Lord Vishnu's vehicle mount. Further, it is stated that he is the younger brother of Aruna, a charioteer for Surya, the sun god.
The origin story of Goddess Andal
A devoted follower of Lord Vishnu, Vishnuchittar also known as Periyaazhwar was a ninth-century Vaishnava saint from Srivilliputhur in Tamil Nadu. His literary contributions including Periya Azhwar Thirumozhi and Thirupallandu are foundational to the Vaishnavite tradition.
Despite not having biological children, Vishnuchittar was blessed with a daughter Kothai who was miraculously found near a Tulasi plant symbolizing Mother Earth in human form. He raised Kothai with love, instilling in her a profound devotion to Lord Vishnu. Kothai in her devotion expressed her desire to wed Sri Hari.
As part of his daily seva Vishnuchittar adorned the Lord with flower garlands that he lovingly prepared. Without his knowledge, Kothai would wear these garlands before they were offered. When Vishnuchittar discovered this, he was initially upset feeling it unworthy for the Lord. However, Lord Vishnu appeared in a dream and revealed that He preferred the garlands worn by Kothai. From then on she was known as Andal meaning she who ruled over the Lord. Andal’s unwavering devotion inspired her exquisite compositions Nachiyar Thirumozhi and Thiruppavai which remain cornerstones of Tamil literature and Vaishnava theology.
When Vishnuchittar sought a suitable groom for her, Andal chose Lord Ranganatha of Srirangam after learning about the Divya Kshetras. Guided by divine intervention Andal was taken to Srirangam for her wedding. Dressed in bridal finery she entered the sanctum sanctorum of Lord Ranganatha and merged with Him. Andal is worshipped in Srivilliputhur as Bhumi Devi. In a testament to her eternal connection to the Lord her garlands are annually sent to adorn Lord Venkateshwara during the Garuda Seva of Tirupati Brahmotsavam.
