In a brand new episode of Voice of Bengaluru, host Sowjanya talks about the story of how 'Venkateshwara Suprabatham' was created. Venkateshwara Suprabatham is a sacred hymn recited in the praise of Lord Venkateshwara, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, who is worshipped as the presiding deity at the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh, India. The hymn is believed to have been composed by the great medieval Vaishnava saint, Sri Prathivadhi Bhayankaram Annan, in the 15th century. The Venkateshwara Suprabatham is traditionally recited early in the morning before the temple opens and the deity is worshipped. The hymn consists of 29 verses that describe the beauty, majesty, and glory of Lord Venkateshwara, and offer prayers for his blessings and protection. It is believed that reciting the Suprabatham brings good health, wealth, and prosperity to the devotees. The hymn has been set to melodious tunes and is often sung as a part of daily prayers in many Hindu households. It is also a popular part of devotional music and is often played in temples and other religious gatherings. The Venkateshwara Suprabatham is considered a powerful tool for spiritual growth and enlightenment. It reminds the devotees of the divine presence within themselves and inspires them to lead a virtuous and meaningful life. Subscribe to this podcast and also follow us here.
