Prayer to Lord Venkateswara!

by Dr. Varanasi Ramabrahmam



Where do you reside, here or there, And in every heart and inert piece? But are not seen by the physical eye Where do you reside Lord Venkateswara! May be the flowing Godavaris are your speed, Poets with beautiful imagination are the flow of your thoughts, The daring warriors might be your courage, Tell me, The Embodiment of auspicious qualities! Lord Venkateswara! The shapes and curves of the young maidens And the bliss-giving pretty youthful women might be your form, And their beauties are your charm; Their love, devotion and affections are your compassion and care Hug me with love Lord Venkateswara! Might be Annamayya’s songs are your residence, Tyagaraja’s compositions are your home, And you live in Ramadasa’s verses, Make me also sing your praise Lord Venkateswara! Might be Narayana Astaakshari is your swing, Should be you pervade in Siva Panchaakshari, Might be together with Godess Lakshmi You frolic in Sodasaakshari, Let me also reach you Lord Venkateswara! Might be you reside in meditation, penance and intense devotion, Performance of abhisheka (holy bath), worship, group-singing, And other deeds of unalloyed love, The tranquil minds of the saints and sages might be You Yourself Make me also know, understand and experience You Lord Venkateswara!
