The
devotee who recites this stotra three times in a day becomes free from
all sins he has committed. He never has a fear from king, war,
difficulties, troubles, demon, or from bhoot. The devotee who has no
son/daughter is blessed with an issue. The devotee who has no money
becomes rich. The devotee who is suffering from disease becomes free
from disease and becomes healthy. The devotee who is in custody or
bondage becomes free. There is no doubt that every thing wished is
received by the devotees as blessings from God Venkatesha. This stotra
after reciting every day with faith, concentration and devotion gives
wealth, fame, health and devotion and mukti (frees from bondage). It
destroys all sorrow and it opens a way to Vishnu Loka. It does all good
to devotees, every good wish is fulfilled and after end of the life such
devotee goes to Vaikuntha (Vishnu) loka. God Venkatesha who is giver of
all good things to the devotees; is living in happiness with Goddess
Laxmi on the bank of river pushakarini. I bow to God Venkatesha, God
Shrinivaasa to bless me with fulfilling all my desires.
Here completes shri venkatesh stotra which is from Brahmanda purana and
told by God Brahma to Brahmarshi Narad.
