According to Hindu texts, Garuda the king of Birds is the embodiment of Vedas (Vedatma vihageswara). Garuda is also known as periya thiruvadi meaning First Devotee. Hence, Lord Srinivasa selects Garuda as his Vahanam
Garuda BhagavAn is Veda Moorthy .His nakshathramis SvAthi , which is the same as for Lord Narasimhan.Garudan incarnated as PeriyAzhwAr at SrI VilliputthUrand became the Father-in-Law of Lord RanganAthanand had the privelege of having his daughter and son-in-law live at his home in SrI VilliputthUr,
which is known today as NaacchiyAr ThirumALigai.
Oh Magnificently luminous Lord !in whatever quarter You may be residing ,be it East, west, north or south , Your BhakthAsinvoke You to hasten to their sides to protect them and give them comfort. Oh PraNata-arTi-haraPrabhO! Oh Magnanimous One! May Thou readily come without delay -when You are invoked- to them ,who vigorously follow You .
When such invocations are made by dear bhakthAs likeGajEndran , our Lord is carried on the back of Garudan in great haste for Bhaktha SamrakshaNam.
In Vishnu Temples,Purattasi Saturdays are very auspicious. Garuda vahana procession is very important.Today is 1st saturday and The dharshan of Lord Venkateswara on Garuda Vahanam is very auspicious and fulfill our all desires.
