Sri Ayyappa Namavali

SRI AYYAPPA NAMAVALI

INTRODUCTION

Lord Ayyappa is a celebrity god, and he is worshipped mostly by the people in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, though during the annual Mandala Puja Festival, devotees from all parts of India would throng to the Sabarimala temple to have the glimpse of the beautiful Ayyappa. Lord Ayyappa is a form of Lord Dharma Shasta, who contains the features of both Lord Shiva and Vishnu. Similar to our Tirupati Balaji, who had incarnated in this Kali Yuga, exclusively for fulfilling the wishes of his devotees, Lord Ayyappa also fulfils the wishes of his devotees, and invokes them in the spiritual path.

Lord Ayyappa is known by various names such as Manikanda, Harihara Sudhan, Sabarimalai Vasan, Ponnambalam and Thatvamasi, is considered as a pious, pure and virtuous god, who has entered into the shrine of Sabarimala as a deity at his young age itself. Being brought up at the palace as a prince and instead of enjoying the worldly pleasures, Lord Ayyappa had sacrificed everything in his life, for the sake of doing goodness to his devotees, and it is believed that he still dwells at his Sabarimala Shrine in divine form in a sitting posture, with a smiling face, and he blesses all of his devotees with his golden hands.

Apart from offering prayers and performing pujas to Lord Ayyappa, reciting his 108 divine names would please him very much, and he would immensely grant boons and would fulfil our reasonable needs and wishes.
