The immortal music of Bhaktha Prahlada

Bhaktha Prahlada was made in 1967 with Roja Ramani in the lead character.  The storyline of this movie has its base in Sri Bhagavathamu, and this movie has made use of several immortal padyamulu written by Bammera Pothana. These padyamulu and several equally great songs in this movie have been rendered by P. Suseela under the baton of Saluru Rajeswara Rao.  Parents may listen to these songs and padyamulu with their young children.  This is one of the movies that has the power of fostering bhakti in young minds.  The melody and meaning that we find in these songs and verses are heart touching.
