The only recording on it was Smt M S Subbulakshmi’s rendering of the Suprabhaatam.Įvery morning, I’d take bath, apply a spot of vibhuti to the forehead, and listen to it with a copy of the TTD (Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam) publication of the Suprabhaatam with Samskrtam (Sanskrit) text, Tamizh transliteration, word for word meaning in Tamizh, and purport in Tamizh prose. This is what Sri Thirumale used to recite every morning.Īfter some days (or was it weeks?), Uncle borrowed a Grundig Telefunken spool tape recorder from a colleague and it came with but two spools – 1 full and 1 to take the tape. ![]() One day, while I was in class 2, I found myself sitting in front of Aththi as she taught me the first shloka of the Sri Venkatesha Suprabhaatam (or just ‘Suprabhaatam’ as it is even now known). All the while, he would be reciting something. He would have washed some clothes and would be putting these up to dry on the bamboo poles hung horizontally from the ceiling. ![]() Very early every morning, from the west, I would hear Sri Thirumale’s voice.
