While often sung in Sanskrit, many modern Gujarati weddings use localized versions or contemporary compositions that blend these ancient mantras with Gujarati lyrics to make the meaning more accessible to the families. Mangalashtak Lyrics in Gujarati (Traditional Sample)
ગણેશાય નમસ્તેસ્તુ, સર્વકાર્ય પ્રદાયકમ્,ઋદ્ધિ-સિદ્ધિ સમેતમ્ ચ, મંગલમ્ કુરુતે નમઃ.શારદા શારદામ્ભોજ, વદના વદનામ્બુજે,સર્વદા સર્વદાસ્માકમ્, મંગલમ્ કુરુતે નમઃ. mangalashtak lyrics gujarati
Maat-pita sukhi rahe chhanye, sut sukhi sada gruh mahnye | Bhrata sodayra prem vadhare, jagat gunonu gaan kare || While often sung in Sanskrit, many modern Gujarati
સમજણ સાંઢણી સાથે સજી, સુણી સુણાવી સુખ સાથે રહો રજી. પ્રીતમ પ્રીત પમાડી પ્રભુને ભજો, Mangala bhavan amangala haari, Devo ne devi sarve sukhakari
The Mangalashtak is more than a song. It is a , rising from the hearts of everyone present and settling over the newly married couple. The words speak of many things—prosperity, fidelity, joy and progeny—but the unspoken message behind every verse is always the same: We see you, we love you, and we will always be with you.
Mangala bhavan amangala haari, Devo ne devi sarve sukhakari. Aashish dejo sau sangh karine, Var-vadhune sukh sampatti bharine. Mangalashtak Haricharane, Mangalashtak Haricharane, Mangalashtak Haricharane, Sada Mangal.
