The grand procession of Lord Venkateswara on
the second day of Salakatla Brahmotsavam on the beautiful Hamsa Vahanam is colourful feast to the tens
of thousands of eyes. Lord Venkateswara as Malayappa swamy blessed his devotees
as Veenapani Saraswati atop Hamsa or Swan.
Swan or Hamsa also stands out for its
capabilities to weed out the good from the bad. In other words the celestial
bird is known for its in-born virtues to segregate the milk from water in a pot
of this mixed liquid. This denotes that Lord Venkateswara as Hamsa
vahanaroodha(the rider of swan vehicle) will weed out the bad qualities in a
human being and retain only the good virtues.
Srivari Hamsa Vahanam denotes the significance
attached towards selfless service of everyone towards mankind and that ego and
personal pride would keep them away from Lord Venkateswara and his divine
blessings.
