SuprabhÄÂtam literally auspicious dawn is a Sanskrit poem of the SuprabhÄÂtakÄÂvya genre. It is a collection of hymns or verses recited early morning to awaken the deity in Hinduism. The metre chosen for a SuprabhÄÂtam poem is usually VasantatilakÄÂ.The most well-known SuprabhÄÂtam work is the Veṅkaá¹ÂeśasuprabhÄÂtam recited at Tirupati to awaken Veṅkaá¹Âeśa. A rendition of the poem by renowned carnatic vocalist M. S. Subbulakshmi is extremely popular which is played daily in many homes and temples of South India.The idea of awakening the deity in the morning traces its origins to Tamil bhakti literature. These were called Thiruppalliyelucci (literally, the auspicious awakening). Numerous poems were composed by saints on Shiva and Vishnu, the most popular being Manikkavacakar's poem on Shiva and Andal's poem on Sri Ranganatha (Vishnu). Acharyas who come from the lineage of Ramanuja, adapted this form into Sanskrit in later times.Singers : P.V.AnantaSayanamIyengar, MS Subbulakshmi
