Sri Krishna Mangalam
Translated by P.R.Ramachander
Mangala stotras are normally recited at the end of reciting several stotras or the end of singing several songs or at the end of an auspicious function. The devotee wishes auspiciousness to the Lord. Mangalam may also mean “good wishes”, or “wishes for a happy ending”.
This great Mangala stotra of Lord Krishna narrates the story of Lord Krishna in detail.
