Ramcharitmanas, Bala Kanda — opening Mangalacharan (Goswami Tulsidas) · Goswami Tulsidas · 16th century CE (c. 1574)
Goswami Tulsidas opened his Ramcharitmanas at Ayodhya in 1574 with a sequence of Sanskrit benedictory shlokas before turning to Awadhi. Following the tradition of mangalacharan, he first invokes Saraswati and Ganesha (sound and meaning, and remover of obstacles), then Shiva and Parvati as faith and conviction, the Guru as embodied knowledge, Valmiki and Hanuman as the lords of poetry and devotion, mother Sita as the power behind creation, and finally Lord Rama as the supreme Brahman beyond all causes — thereby consecrating the entire work and the act of its reading.
✦ શાસ્ત્રોમાં કહ્યા પ્રમાણે
Reciters of the Ramcharitmanas hold that beginning a parayan without the mangalacharan leaves it incomplete, whereas opening with these verses removes obstacles so that the reading proceeds smoothly to its fruitful end; the very first shloka invoking Saraswati and Ganesha is also chanted by students to bless learning and eloquence.

Ramcharitmanas Balkand Mangalacharan જપ વિધિ
Recite these six Sanskrit shlokas slowly and clearly at the very start of any Ramcharitmanas reading or recitation, with folded hands and a focused mind. They form the prescribed mangalacharan (auspicious invocation) of the Bala Kanda. Pronounce the Sanskrit carefully, pausing at each shloka, before continuing into the Awadhi text. Many devotees recite the full set once at the opening of a daily or ceremonial parayan.
