A gift to the devotee

Krishi - Sanskrit devotional chant - Sri Venkatesa Suprabhatam,
Stotram - Prapatti and Managalasasanam - Price not mentioned.

THE 70 Sanskrit slokas composed by Sriman Prativadi Bhayankara
Annan, disciple of Sri Manavala Mamuni, are chanted in the sanctum
sanctorum of the Tirumalai Temple, the abode of Lord Venkateswara,
early every morning. These slokas consist of the Venkatesa
Suprabhatam to awaken the Lord, Stotram, extolling the Lord's greatness
and nobility, Prapatti in which the devotee surrenders himself totally tothe
Almighty, and Mangalasasanam that wishes the Almighty all the very best
as He is the one who sustains the three worlds. The musical and temple
versions of the hymns recited with meticulous diction are truly a balm to
the soul. The script in different Indian languages such as Bengali, Oriya,
Tamil, Marathi, etc. and the meanings in English, are gifts to the devotee
and the learner.

The illustrations are absolutely breath-taking - the wonderful scenery, the
temple Gopuram, the deities, the entrance of the Sannadhi with the
Dwarakapalakas majestically guarding the doors, the Lord on the
Anantha, the Leelas of Lord Krishna, incidents from the Ramayana, the
Gitopadesa, Garuda carrying the celestial couple, and others, succeed in
strumming the chord of Bhakti to great effect. The album comes to an
auspicious conclusion with salutations and felicitations to Lord
Srinivasa.
