Garuda Dandakam is a stotra that was chanted by Vedanta Maha Desikar to invoke Lord Garuda’s blessings. In ekalavya style, I listened to Kadambi Srinathanji’s chanting of this sloka regularly and mastered it. I have embedded two audios, one by priest Kadambi Srinathanji and other one in my own voice..
I recently visted a temple that had the deity inside its sacred sanctorium. The deity is called Sri Mantra Raja Naga Pasha Amrutakalasha Garuda Bhagawan.
In Amruthapuri Ramanuja Yogavanam, we have a captivating idol of Sri Garuda with a Nectar pot on the upper right hand, the left upper hand holding the Serpent King with the lower hands in the familiar Anjali mode offering the palm leaves containing the mantras and Vedas restored from the vanquished demons.
