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.
✦ ਸ਼ਾਸਤਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਦੱਸੇ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ
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.

ਅਰਥ:I bow to that Lord Hari, named Rama, who is the supreme cause beyond all causes — by whose Maya the entire universe, with Brahma and the other gods and demons, is controlled; by whose reality alone all this appears real, as a rope is mistaken for a snake; and whose feet are the one and only raft for those longing to cross the ocean of worldly existence.

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.
