Janmangal Namavali Janmangal Stotram Read and Listen to the108namesof Bhagwan Shree Swaminarayan on the move and attainbliss;ShatanandSwami says “Those individuals who read, study orlistento the nameswithin the Janmangal or those who makeotherindividuals read, studyor listen to the Janmangal willneverexperience confusion and chaosin their lives.” chaturvargasidhyarthe jape vineeyogh “Those whochant the JanmangalStotraachieve Dharma (moral emancipation), Arth(worldlyprosperity),Kaam (fulfilment of worldly desires) and Moksh(finalliberation)”.Whats is the Janmangal Namavali? The basis ofthechanting ofBhagwan’s name is that within the meaning ofBhagwan’snamesresides the divine qualities, divine powers andmeditation ofHissupremacy. Subsequently, the question will arisethatBhagwanpossesses innumerable names. In the latter part of thetenthcantoof the Shreemad Bhagvat, Bhagwan Himself has madeaconfessionbefore Muchukunda. janma karmaa bhidhaanaani, santimesahastrashahna shakyante’nu sankhyaatu, manantattvaanma yaapihi“Oh Muchkund!My births, deeds and names are thousands. No oneisable tocalculate them. Perhaps, although impossible, a powerfulonemay beable to count the molecules upon this earth, yetthatpowerful onecannot reach the end of My divine innumerablenames.”Hence, whichspecific names, from the innumerable ones,should onedepend on?All those divine names are of Bhagwan’s;therefore theyare allequally fruitful and full of prominence.However, ShatanandSwamihas given the topmost names in which itsmeaning pervadeswithBhagwan’s most potent greatness. In theMahabharat, Bhishmapitahasillustrated to Yudhishtir that there isno end to the greatnessofBhagwan’s names. Within this UdhavSampraday, for the welfareofdevotees, Shatanand Swami accumulated1008 names of Shree Harifromthe infinite names and composed theSarvamangal Stotra.Thereafter,so that the much dispersed humankindin today’s age canachievemore fruits in a limited time, hebenevolently compiledtheJanmangal Stotra (Janmangal Namavali),containing 108 namesofShreeHari._____________________________________________SWAMINARAYAN SSMB
