Origin & Story

Traditional mangala (auspiciousness) shloka of Vishnu · Traditional · Classical

This is the beloved 'mangalam' verse chanted to seal Vishnu worship and many sacred readings, most familiarly at the close of the Satyanarayan katha. By repeating the word 'mangalam' (auspicious) and naming the Lord as Vishnu, Garudadhvaja, the lotus-eyed Pundarikaksha and Hari, it declares Him to be auspiciousness itself and invokes that blessing on all who hear it. It is recited at weddings, housewarmings and every auspicious beginning and end.

✦ As told in scripture

It is said that where this verse is sung, auspiciousness gathers — for it calls upon Hari, who is the very dwelling-place of all that is good and blessed.
