Garuda Mantram is the Family mantram of Swamy AppuLLAr , the maternal uncle and AchAryan of Swamy Desikan . He blessed his nephew with Garuda Mantra UpadEsam that fructified at Thiruvaheendhrapura m .

Other kshetrams with special significance for Garudan are ThiruveLLiyankudi ( Sankha-Chakra dharar) and Thriuvaheendhrapura m , where there was a contest between Garudan and AdhiSEshan . Here at Thiruvaheendhrapura m ,
SWAmy Desikan had Garuda SaakshAthkAram and upadEsam from Him of Sri HayagrIva Mantram under the asvatta tree on top of Oushadha Giri overlooking the Garuda Nadhi flowing below . Swamy Desikan recited Sri HayagrIva Mantram and was blessed with the Darsana SoubhAgyam of Lord HayagrIvan and His LaalAmrutam that made Him an AchArya Saarvabhiouman.
