Shri Maha Vishnave Namaha
Swamiye Saranam Ayyappa
A Note on the Order of Prayers
Before praying to Lord Ayyappa, it is customary to first seek the blessings of Lord Vinayaka (Ganesha) to remove obstacles. Then, we pray to Lord Subramanya for strength and protection. Only after receiving their blessings should we proceed to worship Lord Ayyappa, the embodiment of dharma and purity.
