Maa Mangala Ashtakam

Maa Mangala, the friend of the fallen she delivers everyone from the maya of this material world, by her grace all inner and outer enemies are destroyed. Everytime when the Navakalevara rite is performed in the Jagannath Puri temple, the priests of the temple pray to Maa Mangala who appears in their dreams to guide them to the chosen three woods for replacing the idols, these woods are also called as the Daru Brahma trees. Chanting the divine Maa Mangla Ashtakam brings inner transformation and by the grace of of Maa Mangla one gets engaged in the divine service of Shree Hari.
