Magnificent voice of M S Subbulakshmi : one of the richest treasures of our generation

It is ennobling and soul elevating to hear the blissful hymn Venkatesa Suprabhatham being recited by the legendary Singer M S Subbulakshmi. Through her masterly soulful rendering of this hymn, the late Queen of Music Smt. MS Amma made its devotional stirrings spread throughout the world.  

2. To a question which is the largest selling non-filmy recording in India's musical history, one need not guess for hours.  It is that of Venkateswara Suprabhatam rendered by the peerless MS Amma, whose rendition to this day remains the early-morning sthothram/geetham  of many households, across continents. 

Recitation of Venkatesa Suprabhatam itself is regarded as a sacred practice that fosters devotion, spiritual connection, and divine blessings. It is considered a powerful means to start the day on a positive note and seek the divine presence and grace of Lord Venkateswara.  

3.  Needless to mention about  evergreen hits of MS Amma - KAATTRINILE VARUM GEETHAM (from 1945 release of Tamil film Meera) in which she acted and sang too. Her another devotional rendition VISHNU SAHASRANAMAM is  being listened and recited in many religious places/houses all over the world  during mornings and evenings daily. Kurai ondrum Illai Maraimoorthy kanna (on Lord Balaji) , Bhaja Govindam (Lyrics: Shri Aadhi Shankara), etc. are some of the other religious recitations rendered by MS Amma with her exceptional style of singing.  

4. Born in the holy temple city of Madurai, TN, on the 16th of September 1916, MS Amma was a singer extraordinaire and a composer beyond compare. Extremely devotional in her nature, she has composed various bhajans and krithis in praise of Gods and Goddesses. In an illustrious career that had spread over seven decades of dedicated singing, she had performed at every prominent place, leaving each and every listener spellbound with her amazing style of tone and quality.
