सुधा-मंगळा (Sudha Mangala)


सुधा-मंगळा (Sudha Mangala)







“Sudha Mangala” by Raj Khanna in www.DDMSIN.com


Re-written in Dakshini Marathi

What is Sudha Mangala?
We often notice periodical invitations regarding Sudha Mangala being circulated to devotees by disciples of Swamiji's and other scholars of Madhwa Sampradaya.


What is Mangala?
Mangala is the customary function performed at the beginning or usually at the end of a particular holy task. When we begin any work, we pray to the Lord for its successful completion. This is the Mangala performed at the commencement of the work. This is called the Adi-Mangala. Also, once the work is successfully completed, celebrations are made by specially worshipping the presiding deities. Several scholars and elders are invited and honored on such occasions. This is called the Anta-Mangala.

What is Sudha?
Sudha or Shirman Nyaya Sudha is the celebrated work of Shri Jayateertharu, running into several thousand sentences. It is a commentary on the magnum-opus Shrimad Anuvyakhyana of Shri Madhwacharya, the propounder of the Dvaita School of Vedanta. It is believed that one who reaches to a stage of understanding this great work under the tutelage of a qualified Guru, can be considered as an expert in Dvaita Vedanta. Hence, even the commencement of the study of this work precedes a 10 year rigorous training in several branches of knowledge like Literature, Grammar, Logic, Mimamsa and several other schools of thought like Sankhya, Yoga, Jaina, Bauddha, Shakta, etc.


सुधा-मंगळा म्हणजे काय ?
मध्व संप्रदायाच पंडितलोके, तसेच वेगळ॑-वेगळ॑ स्वामीजींच शिष्यलोके ह्यंचकडून अम्हाला मध्य-मध्य सुधा-मंगळाच अवंतण-पत्र मिळत अस्त॑.


मंगळा म्हणजे काय ?
एक शुभकार्य अथवा उपासना आरंभ कराच पुढेकी, नाही ते संपतानाकी कराच पूजाकार्याला "मंगळा" म्हणतों. काहीं आरंभ करताना ते बेष चालूनदे म्हणून देवाला प्रार्थना करून विचारींगतों. अस॑ कराचाला आदि-मंगळा म्हणतों. तसेच एक उपासना पूरा करून संपलावर तला संबंध झालते अभिमान देवताला अंत-मंगळाच आचरण करतों. अस॑ करताना योग्य पंडित अणी विद्वान यांस॑ बलावून आदर करणे आहे.
