I visited a temple on a recent auspicious day and I realized a couple of things. I know only one Sloka(Suklambaradharam) by heart and everytime I recite it I hear it in Ghantasala's voice in my head. Similar is the case with Venkateswara Suprabhatam. The hymn sounds odd in voice other than M. S. Subbalakshmi. Anytime I hear one of these two prayers, the name of the singer pops into my head. I assume there would be many other south indians who associate these two songs with the God and the singer simultaneously. Does that make the two singers Saints like Annamayya in their own right?
