SrI:

Dear VishNu BhakthAs :

MangaLya Sthavam is part of VishNu DharmOtthara IthihAsa BhAgam .
It is found there in the 43rd Chapter.It has been recited 
and quoted by AchArya SaarvabhoumAs 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 other anishtams . 
This is a prayer to Lord VishNu for ever increasing MangaLams .

Sage DhAlabhya asks two questions at the beginning and
Sage Pulasthya provides the answers to these two questions 
thru 48 slOkams to follow .The answers of Sage Pulasthyar 
end with the prayerful refrain: (MamAsthu MangaLya vivrutthayE 
Hari:) . There is thus a total of 50 slOkams in this sthavam .

The recitation of this precious sthOthram reminds one of the Para Tattvam
of Lord Sriman NaarAyaNan .It acknowledges that This Supreme
Lord (Hari NaarAyaNan) is responsible for the Creation-Sustenance 
and Destruction of the Universes and celebrates the many avathArams of 
this Hari ( VarAha , Narasimha , Vaamana , HayagrIva , Raama , KrishNa
avathArams)to bless the chEthanams for Saadhu SamrakshaNam and
dushta nigraham .

For young women , recitation of this sthOthram is rcognized 
to result in marriage to a good husband (Soumangalyathvam), 
and all anishta nivrutthi for the married ones( restoration of husband's 
health if he is ill: SoumAngalyathvam ) . 

More than all these abheeshta siddhi , there are deeper
structures in meaning in this MangaLa SthOthram .

Sri VisishtAdhvaitha PrachariNi SabhA  reelased few 
years back a small pamphlet on this SthOthram with 
Tamil meanings by Srirangam M.S.RajagOpAlAcchAr 
Swamy . It may be still available there , if it is not 
out of print now. adiyEn will expand on this booklet .

adiyEn is in the middle of a major AchArya Kaimkaryam 
and about to start a Bhagavath Kaimkaryam . adiyEn would 
like to reflect on the individual slOkams of MaangaLya Sthavam 
and Abheethi Sthavam to confer MangaLams on the two kaimkaryams
and to chase away bheethi about vignams to them .

adiyEn will start with MaangaLya Sthavam   First .
There are 50 slOkams to cover in this SrI Sookthi .
