'Mangalyam' is a song from the movie Saathiya, starring Rani Mukherji and Vivek Oberoi. It is essentially the pop track 'O Humdum Suniyo Re' and is sung by Kaykay, Shaan, Kunal and Pravin Mani.
So why does it feature in my blog? I dunno, just love the tune and the lyrics. While searching for the video i came across the meaning of the Sanskrit chant posted by a user called mohnish0999. While I can't vouch for the accuracy of the translation, it does feel nice and appropriate.
|| Mangalyam tantunanena
mama jeevana hetuna:
kanthe badhnami subhage
twam jeeva sarada satam ||
This is a sacred thread.
This is essential for my long life.
I tie this around your neck O maiden
having many auspicious attributes.
May you live happily
for a hundred years with me.
Hope you liked this.
