The Suprabhatam - A Morning Prayer Awaking the Deities (within) in Preparation for the Day's Work Ahead.
Lord Venkateswara is the main diety of the Tirumala temple, Tirupathi. The lord is an incarnation of lord Vishnu. He is worshipped by the people with different names like Balaji, Srinivasa, Govinda. Venkateswara and means the Lord who destroys the sins of the people. According the Hindu scriptures, Vishnu, out of love towards his devotees, incarnated as Venkateshwara and appeared for the salvation and upliftment of humanity in this Kali Yuga and is considered the supreme form of Vishnu in this age.
Suprabhatam (Sanskrit: ????????? “auspicious dawn”) is a name given to Sanskrit hymns recited in the morning to awaken the Lord.
The most famous is the Lord Venkateswara Suprabhatam recited at Tirupati to awaken Venkateswara.
It was composed around 1500 by Sri Prativadi Bhayankaram Annan Swami, a disciple of Sri Manavala Mamuni, who also composed Sri Ranganatha Suprabhatam.
The Venkateswara Suprabhatam, being the morning recital of prayers and songs of awakening, is believed to have been written and sung by one of Ramanujacharya’s disciples who visited the temple with his Guru
