Complete Sri Venkateswara Suprabhatam in English with lyrics and meaning. A sacred morning prayer to Lord Venkatesa for peace and devotion.
Venkateswara Suprabhatam is recited every morning in Tirumala to wake up Lord Venkateswara from his divine celestial sleep. It was composed, around 1420 AD, by Sri Ananthacharya in Sanskrit. Suprabhatam literally means “Good Morning”. Suprabhatam is the first and foremost Seva performed in Tirumala.
Suprabhatam is the awakening of Lord Venkateswara who was put to bed (Ekanta Seva) the previous night. In this part, devotees praise Lord Srinivasa and submissively request Him to wake up and bless the devotees eagerly waiting to seek His blessings.
Meaning : O Venkateswara, the temple parrots are singing pleasantly after having tasted the fruits, payasa in your Pooja vessels and quenching their thirst; I pray for a good morning to you. Seshadri Sekhara Vibho tava Suprabhatham.
O Venkateswara, the temple parrots are singing pleasantly after having tasted the fruits, payasa in your Pooja vessels and quenching their thirst; I pray for a good morning to you.
