Venkateswara Mangalaasaasanam is all about the lyrics recited for the well-being of God being sought by his devotees. The devotees being worried or doubtful that something bad may happen to God, keep praying for his wellness through hymns invoking blessings for God. It includes some lines at the end for the well-being of our teachers, Gurus.
Suprabhatam is being recited daily in Tirupati Devasthanams. It has four parts in it.
These are 1) Suprabhatam, 2) Stotram, 3) Prapatti, and 4) Mangalaasaasanam.
In this post, I am providing the lyrics for the Mangalaasaasanam Part with their meanings in the English language.
I have dealt with the other 3 parts in my previous posts.
From the outside, one may think it absurd and foolish to wish for the safety and eternity of God who himself is supreme and all-powerful. But a true devotee, always worried about the well-being of his God (imagining him as his dearest child), keeps praying for his safety, just like the mother praying or wishing for her child's wellness.
