Sri Venkateswara Suprabhatam
Lord Venkateswara of Tirupati, also known as Venkataramana Murty, is regarded as the last incarnation of Lord Vishnu. It is hard to find a household in south India where the hymns in praise of the lord are not recited. The Tirumala Tirupati temple in Andhra Pradesh attracts millions of visitors every year. It is also one of the most well maintained and managed temples with online reservations for visits and Poojas. The offerings and donations by the devotees amount to several millions of Rupees every year. A well-managed temple trust runs the "Venkateswara" hospitals, schools, colleges and a university with that money.
Sri Venkateswara Suprabhatam is recited during the early hours (Brahma Muhurta) every morning to wake up the Lord from his sleep. It is believed that Lord Venkateswara will bestow prosperity in abundance to devotees who recite this prarthana every morning. Its a very pleasant feeling to hear the clear voice of M S Subhalakshmi ring through the cool morning air.
