Mangalashtak Stotra

This shloka is so special during Hindu wedding ceremonies, bringing blessings from loved ones as the couple makes their steps towards a happy and prosperous marriage.

When it was time to do the pheras around the agni, we had family and friends sing this shlok as a blessing to us. It’s a surreal feeling to have a multitude of loved ones chant divine words while you take the steps towards marriage. All divine shloks and mantras have an energy that you feel.

Here is the stotra for those who would like to recite it during their special day.
