Mangalasasanam
Mangalasasanam (Sanskrit: मङ्गलाशासनम्, romanized: Maṅgalaśaṃsanam, lit. 'auspicious felicitations') refers to a Vaishnava concept in Hinduism, where a devotee offers their salutations and felicitations upon God due to a profound sense of concern for the latter, and also as an exercise of forgetting their sense of self. == Hymns == The concept of mangalasasanam is often associated with the pasurams (verses) of the Alvars, who during the early medieval period of Tamil history (between the 7th and 10th centuries CE), worshipped Vishnu and his avatars through their hymns.
