The Suprabhatam is an auspicious prayer that is offered to Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba at dawn. It is the day’s first prayer. In Sanskrit, the term ‘Su’ means good and ‘Prabhath’ means morning. Suprabhatam means - good morning. It is the act of dedicating ourselves to the Lord and praying for His blessings at the start of a new day. This prayer must be rendered with the awareness that it is the Supreme Lord who is always working with us.
