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.
