Chords & Notes

SRI VENKATESA SUPRABHATAM

BY SHANKAR MAHADEVAN

Music Today, Rs.225

To wake up each morning to the melodious strains of Venkatesa Suprabatham used to be and remains even today in many a household an essential daily chore. It is believed that Lord bestows prosperity in abundance to devotees who recite the Suprabhatam each morning. In lots of temple around the country the day begins with the recitation of the Venkatesa Suprabhatam. At the revered Balaji temple at Tirumala each morning the Suprabhatam is recited to `wake' up the Lord. When he sings "Panchannabja Bhavashanmuka... " you realise his diction is flawless. It is difficult to believe it is the same person who, has sung film numbers like `Kajrare Kajrare..' `Koi Kahe, Kahta Rahe'. The man is simply cut out for such meaningful renderings, his outstanding voice is a testimony to this. The CD is very well produced and the accompanying music by Narayan Mani is soothing.

The text of the Suprabhatam and the Venkatesa Stotram is also given along with the CD which is very useful. This offering from Music Today is an excellent buy, indeed a collector's item, and a must for those who like to begin the day the auspicious way.
