Jai Sriman Narayana !!
The Male horse proceeded towards the
cave where the demons were hidden the Veda. The most attractive horse stood on
the mouth of the cave and released a soft neigh as a signal to the female horse
inside the cave. The female horse rushed out from the cave. Lord
Sriman Narayana beheaded the demon Hayagreeva and Madhu Kaitaba
also. Thus, Lord Sriman Narayana has got another name
‘Madhusoodhana’. Habitually demons have lot of flesh in their
bodies by consuming meat and they are amorphous in nature. When Lord
Hayagreevah beheaded the demon Madhu the excessive fat came out of his body covered
extensively the upper part of the Earth. That is how the Earth has got
another name ‘Medhini’. Lord Sriman Narayana acquired the possession of
Veda and handed over to Lord Brahma. Lord Brahma pleaded Lord Narayana,
to advice the possible ways to keep the Veda undamaged and to avoid any further
mishandling of the same. Lord Narayana advised and blessed Lord
Brahma, which made it possible for Him to keep all the Vedas in his mind.
Lord Vishnu took a bodily form of Lord
Hayagreeva - Horse faced Lord on a Shravan Pournami day in the
month Avani. Worship of Lord Hayagreevah on this day and follow
austerities brings abundance of virtues. Lord Narayana advised the sacred
Veda to Lord Brahma on this particular day came to known as ‘Brahmopadhesham’/ ‘Upakrama’/Upakarma.
The significance of the day is that, Lord Brahma got the ‘Vedhopadhesham’ from
Lord Sriman Narayana. That is how the rituals of Upakrama/Upakarma
came into existence.
Jai Sriman Narayana !!
