AOA NEWS
By Ernest Britton
OKLAHOMA - Each morning, it is the Hindu tradition to awaken their god with a prayer/song, and this morning AOA joins in that awakening at the Oklahoma City Temple. The prayer/song, "Suprabhātam" is a collection of devotional hymn or poetic verses recited every morning to awaken the deity in Hinduism. Around 1430 A.D., Prativādibhayaṅkara Śrī Anantācārya (aka P B Annan) composed the following hymn, "Veṅkaṭeśasuprabhātam" which has been animated:
The temple serves the religious needs of about 1500 families in the surrounding area is located right outside of the city on a 15-acre campus. The Lord Balaji (Sri Venkateswara Swamy) is the main deity. Many Hindus consider that religious symbols embody the divine, and are in themselves sacred. The tradition is, as a result rich with religious art, visual, performance and literary.
