SRI VENKATESHAAAYA SREENIVAASAYA MANGALAM....
SRI VENKATESHWARA -BALAJI-SRINIVASA- ARE SOME OF THE NAMES
WE ADDRESS OUR BELOVED LORD VENKATESHA WHOSE ABODE IS
THE CITY OF 7 HILLS-THIRUPATHI...
SO WE ALSO CALL HIM EZHUMALAIVAASA...
THE ONE WHO DWELLS ON 7 HILLS -
AND OFCOURSE - IN THE HEARTS OF HIS MILLIONS OF DEVOTEES...
THE FAMOUS VENKATESHA SUPRABAATHAM,IS SUNG IN HIS SHRINE
TO AWAKEN HIM EARLY IN THE MORNING...
"KOWSALYAAA SUPRAJAAA RAAAMAAA....
PURVAA SANDYA PRAVARTHATHE..." IT GOES...
AND THE SAME SUPRABATHAM IS SUNG OR HEARD AS THE FIRST
DIVINE MELODY IN MILLIONS OF HINDU HOMES...
I AM HAPPY TO PRESENT HIM IN HIS GLORIOUS SPLENDOUR
IN THIS TANJORE PAINTING...
