SUPRABHATAM- CAPT AJIT VADAKAYIL

Posted on 14:14 by Unknown



My home is 300 metres away from a temple. We get up in the morning to the amazing positive vibrations of this age old stotra. When I open the front door, I can see and hear hundreds of birds , my pet cats will be playfully chasing squirrels and butterflies. You witness the laws of the universe, the rising sun, the blooming flowers, the bees gather nectar-- divine energy melts all negativity away.




Note how effortlessly MS Subbhalakshmi renders the lyrics.
The genre of Suprabhātakāvya traces its origin to a single verse (1.23.2) in the Balakanda of  Valmiki's Ramayana, where in 4300 BC, Maharishi Vishwamitra calls out to Rama to wake up.


kausalyasuprajarama!
purva sandhya pravartate,
uttistha! narasardula!
kartavyam daivam ahnikam.

O! Rama! Kausalya’s auspicious child! Twilight is approaching in the East. O! best of men (Purushottama)! Wake up, the divine daily rituals have to be performed.

uttisthottistha! govinda!
uttistha garudadhvaja!
uttistha kamalakanta!
trailokyam mangalam kuru.


O! Govinda, wake up! O! Garudadhvaja (one who has Garuda on his flag)! wake up. O! Kamalakanta (the husband of Kamala)! by rising, render the three worlds auspicious.

matas samsastajagatam madhukaitabhareh
vaksoviharini! manohara-divyamurte!
srisvanmini! sritajanapriya-danasile!
sri-venkatesa-dayite! Tava suprabhatam

May it be an auspicious dawn to Thee, O! Lakshmi, the Mother of the Worlds, who dwells on the chest of Vishnu, the enemy of the demons, Madhu and Kaitabha), of attractive and divine form, with the nature of granting what is desired by those seeking refuge!

tava suprabhatam aravindalochane!
bhavatu prasannamukha-chandramandale!
vidhisankarendra-vanitabhir archite! vrsasailanatha-dayite!dayanidhe

May it be an auspicious dawn to Thee, O! Lakshmi, the beloved of the Lord of Vrsacala, with eyes like lotus petals, with a bright face like the Moon, who is worshipped by Vani, Girija and Pulomaja (the wives of Brahma, Sankara and Indra) and who is very compassionate

atryadi-saptarsayas samupasya sandhyam
aksasindhu-kamalani manoharani,
adaya padayugam archayitum prapanna sesadri-sekhara-vibho! tava suprabhatam.

Having worshipped the morning twilight and said their morning prayers, called sandhyavandana, the seven sages like Atri, bringing the beautiful lotuses from the divine Ganges, have arrived to worship Thy feet. Lord of Seshachala! May it be an auspicious dawn to Thee

ye mānavāḥ pratidinaṃ paṭhituṃ pravṛttāḥ ।
teṣāṃ prabhātasamaye smṛtiraṅgabhājāṃ
prajñāṃ parārthasulabhāṃ paramāṃ prasūte ॥

“
Thus here is the Suprabhatam of the Lord of Vrishachala! The humans who are engaged in reciting it everyday, the remembrance gives birth to superior intellect, which is worthy of the six Vedangas and which makes the supreme goal easy to achieve. ॥ 28 ॥

As per legend the gentle strains of this Stotra rouses up Lord Vishnu from His slumber every morning. 
An early morning recitation of the Venkatesha Suprabhatam creates keenness in purpose for the rest of the day.  
It infuses the devotee with all the commanding optimism that resides in the meaningful verses of this prayer.  Besides, even the environment acquires a soothing quality and is filled with a calmness that encourages goodness and sanguinity.  
The positive vibrations of the Shri Venkatesha Stotra succeed in imbibing the individual with competence, enthusiasm to tackle any situation, and eagerness to work.
This is the reason why Shri Venkatesha Stotra is an excellent way to start the day and organize the mind and body.  Chanting this Stotra or listening closely to it imparts all these benefits.
