Possesses extraordinary valour, that none can conquer Him, as Crown of abilities.
[This telecast of SVS was held up for a week from 25th May and we should have resumed from Divine name 306. But since arrangements at Kanchipuram to coincide with Brahmotsavam were already made, we start the series with SVS divine name 311. It is proposed to restart from Divine name 306 to 310, from the lectures beginning after Two weeks.]
From today [1st June 2009] the lectures are from the Brahmotsavam in Kanchipuram. Swami Vedanta Desika has praised this Brahmotsavam in his works. It takes place for Ten days, both in the day and night, in Vaikasi month, every year. Processions start from the temple in Vishnu Kanchi, aka Little Kanchi, to Gangaikondan [கங்கை கொண்டான்] mandapam in Shiva Kanchi, aka Big Kanchi, and return procession. Crowds assemble from all parts of the country. It is lead by Divya Prabhanda Ghoshti and followed by Veda Parayana Ghoshti.
Shikhandi means special Crown to denote His valour. On the first day of Brahmotsavam, after Dwajarohanam in the day, the Lord Sri Varadaraja is in procession on Simha [Lion] vahanam in the evening. Two large umbrellas are deployed during procession.
