Rare Venkatesha Panchakam From Skanda Puranam

Dear All,

Greetings and Namaste. As the Bhadrapada (Purattasi in Tamil) month onsets tomorrow (Friday, 17-Sep-2021) as per solar (Sauramana) calendar, worship of Lord Venkateshwara especially on Saturdays takes prominence in Sanatana Dharma.

In this connection, I am delighted to share a very rare Panchakam (5-stanza prayer) on Lord Venkateshwara by Ramanuja taken from Skanda Mahapuranam, Vaishnava Khandam, Venkatachala Mahatmyam and, Chapter 21 (titled Akasha Ganga Mahatmyam).

The first Saturday of Bhadrapada (18-Sep-2021) also happens to be Shani Pradosham, a rare occurrence which once only a few times in a year.

May We Pray To Lord Venkateshwara with this beautiful hymn!

With regards and Pranams,
K. Muralidharan Iyengar (Murali)
