Shri Venkateshwara Suprabhatam - Video with Sanskrit and English lyrics along with meanings.

Please leave a comment on my blog here/you tube/face book for any comments, suggestions or any other feedback. 

This is not only most popular video from my channel,  but also one of my favorites and my childhood memories.  In southern India,  most households play this early morning to wake up the lord and it also acts as a wake up call to everyone else who is sleeping.  I remember getting up from bed when I listed to this song. It used to come on radio and almost every house and shop used to play it.  

however, I was bit sad to not hear this in my recent trip to south... . I request all readers to play it occasionally and let our kids enjoy the beautiful words and music.

I have two videos on my channel, but only sharing the one with inline subtitles here.
