Jai Shree Krishna Pyara Vaishnavs,
Could a kind Vaishnav please explain the meaning of both Shri Pratah Smaran and Shri Mangla Charan. I dont understand what they actually mean and it would be a great help if someone could explain briefly what they mean and why we say them. Please all the silent readers your opinions and comments are always helpful, so dont shy away and share whatever knowledge you may have.

Jai Jai Shri Gokulesh
Manishji u have described it beautifully.
I would like to elaborate the last stanza.
Last stanza of manglacharan is based on the 10th chapter of srimad bhagwat.
Here in this stanza PANCHADA means(Janma, Tamas, Rajas, Sattvik and Gun prakaran).
By saying this word we can say thakorji to have a seat in our heart.
First Charturbhishcha:
It is a Janma prakaran i.e. the first 4 verses of the Bhagwad of 10th chapter (lord doing a play).
Second Charturbhishcha:

1) Praman(5-11)

3) Sadhana(19-25)
4) Phala(26-32)
Third Charturbhishcha:
It is a Tamas prakaran. It includes 28 verses and is divided in to 4 i.e.
1) Praman(33-39)
2) Pramaye(40-46)
3) Sadhana(47-53)
4) Phala(54-60)
Tribhi:
It is a Sattavik prakaran. It includes 21 verses and is divided in to 3 i.e.
1) Praman(6o-66)
2) Pramaye(67-74)

Jai Shri KRishna,
Manglacharan should be a very important part in our daily prayers.
One must recite this daily after taking bath and before Yamnashatakam and I have got a request from Sarika and Vivek to translate word by word and to make it more simple.
So would request Vasantji and other valllabhi vaishnavs to join in and help it complete because I am sure there will be many other youngsters who would prefer it that way.
It is said that before doing anything auspicious first the Mangla Charan has to be recited. _________________ Sunita Punjabi

Jai Shri Krishna,
Everyone is doing good so please keep up the flow.
Now we have to do it Pushtidasji's style if you want it word by word
Am I correct Sitalji , Trushnaji and all
So lets begin and I want to tell you all one thing that in sanskrit the words seem to be long and confusing so break it into parts and then get the meaning of it and make it into a nice sentence by mixing the words and then one should be able to understand it without any problems.
I will do the first one and then all of you please follow and join in.
Chinta santaan hantaro, yad-pad-ambuj renahva
Swiyanam tan-nijacharyan, pranamami muhur-muhur.
Chinta = worry
Santaan = child (can be a son or daughter)
Hantaro = One that destroys
Yad = whose
Padambuj ( Pad +ambuj) = Lotus feet.
Renavah = a particle (sand)
Sviyanam = Own Devotees (Bhaktas, or Bhagwadias)
Tan = He
Nijacharyan (Nij + Acharya) = Own Guru (Shri Mahaprabhuji)
Pranamami (Pra + Namami) = Respectful salutation offered by me
Muhur-muhu = again and again.
Meaning.
I respectfully bow and offer my homage again and again to our Guru Shri Mahaprabhuji; by whose lotus feet's touch purified sand can destroy all the big and small worries of his own devotees.
It was easy right Kavitaji ? and all ? so please join in. _________________ Vasant Punjabi.

Jai Shree Krishna,
This is absolutely wonderful, at Pusthidasji satsang we were discussing to start the translation of the Manglacharan word by word, and look with Thakorji's grace its being explained so nicely on satsang tibari.
Thankyou to all vaishnavs

Jai Shri KRishna,
Manishbhai's translation of para two defers from mine as it should be Shri Gopinathji and not Shri Gusainji
Here are the facts as Shri Gusainji cannot praise himself in Manglacharan.
Shri Gusainji praises his elder brother in Mangalacharan as follows I pay my obeisence (homage) to son of Shri Mahaprabhuji, (Shri Gopinathji) by whose grace all the sorrows (miseries) of a humble soul disappear.
Here are some quotes re Shri Gopinathji.
Our Pujya Shri Purshottamji in one of his texts says I surrender myself to ShriGopinathji, who is the representative of Shri Mahaprabhuji, who is full of light, an occean of kindness, transcendent and embodied with divine qualities.
Also Shri Gopinathji took over the helms of our sect as Acharya. He wrote Sadhandipika a small and sweet treatise comprehending the doctrines of Pushti Bhakti Marg. He insisted on Vedic Dharma alongwith Lord's worship, as do ShriMahaprabhuji.
Before Shri Mahaprabhuji did Asurvyamoh lila Aapshri He appointed Shri Gopinathji as Tilkayat. _________________ Vasant Punjabi.

JAY SHRI KRISHNA,
YES Vasantbhai, I have also heard in Pravachan Vallabhanandan is addressed to PPG Shri Gopinathji.
Regarding Shri Gopinathji's Sadhandipika recently Pushtimarg.net has uploaded Pravachans by PPG Shri Yogeshkumarji.Shri Mahaprabhuji wrote Purshottam Shahstra Naam for Shri Gopinathji.
