Lord Ayyappa is also known as Hari Hara Putra, and Manikantan. The episode of Ayyappa is described in “Brahmananda Purana”, and “Skandapurana”. Sri Ayyappa is the Divine Avatar as a consequence of the union of Lord Mahavishu’s Mohini Avatar and Lord Siva. This Avatar of Sri Ayyappa was necessary to destroy the evil demoness Mahishi (Buffalo Faced Asura).
Lord Ayyappa teaches us the sacred principle of brotherhood to remain happy and peaceful. We go in herds to his sacred shrine, and he is pleased. Truth, fidelity, devotion and hard work are His ways to kill evil. With these virtues his teachings transcend time and help to solve the riddles of human misery.
When the human perception reached the higher levels beyond the physical limitation, inner peace emerges with the protection by the recitation sound of Ayyappa.
