Vishnu Fest

Today is a very auspicious day in the Sanaathana Dharmaa calendar.  It was on this day several million years back that Shree Mahaa Vishnu incarnated as Hayagriva, restored the Divine Vedaas and gave it to Lord Brahma. In this avataar He took the face and neck of a beautiful horse (In Sanskrit, 'haya'  and 'griva' mean 'horse' and 'neck' respectively). He is worshipped mainly as Lord of Knowledge and Wisdom.
