[Guest guest]

Dear BhakthAs :

 

A good friend , who has supported number of

MangaLya Sthavam is part of VishNu DharmOttharam IthihAsam.

It is found there in the 43rd Chapter.I thas been recited

and quoted by AchArya SaarvabhoiumAs like ParAsara Bhattar ,

Swamy Desikan and others .It is customary to recite this slOkam

for kaarya Siddhi and removal of all amangalams (Inauspiciousness)

including bad dreams ( dhussvapnams)and anishtams . This is a prayer to

Lord VishNu for ever increasing MangaLams .The slOkAs of

Pulasthyar end with the refrain: (MamAsthu MangaLya vivrutthayE

Hari:) .

 

It contains 50 slOkams .It is set as a conversation between

ThAlbhya Rishi and Pulasthya Rishi. Former asks two questions and

Pulasthyar responds with a response constituted by 48 SlOkams.

Recitation of this precious sthOthram reminds one of the Paratattvam

of the Lord Sriman NaarAyaNan .It acknowledges that This Supreme

Lord is responsible for the Creation-Sustenance and destrcution

of the Universes and celebrates the many avathArams of His

( VarAha , Narasimha , Vaamana , HayagrIva , Raama , KrishNa

avathArams)to bless the chEthanams.

 

For young women , recitation of this sthOthram is rcognized

to result in marriage to a good husband (Soumangalyathvam),

and all anishta nivrutthi.

 

More thamn all these abhIshta Phalam s, there are deeper

structures in meaning in this MangaLa ShtOthram .

 

Sri VisishtAdhvaitha PrachariNi SabhA has reelased few

years back a small pamphlet on this SthOthram with

Tamil translations by Srirangam M.S.RajagOpAlAcchAr

Swamy . It may be still avialbale there , if it is not

out of print now.

 

I will quote and comment on one or two slOkams

in the future.

 

Sri ApAmaarjana SthOthram is another sthOthram

from Vishnu DharmOttharam , which is fit for

daily paarAyanam for sakala KshEmams.

Namo NarayaNa!

 

This sthotram is published by Lifco and readily available. The book contains

Mangalyasthavam and a couple of other stotrams. Mangalyasthavam sthotram has

brief, short summaries for each slokam in this book. Mukkoor

Lakshminarasimhachariar was always recommending to recite the slokams on Sri

Lakshimnrisimhan in this stotram.

 

Thanks & Regards,
