Thotaka Mangalam

[Margabandhu De.Sambath]

I am glad to see that Bhajan and other program invitations are
being published /shared with us and my sincere thanks to those
sharing the same. I see that our members are stil using the word
Thodaya mangalam and not Thotaka Mangalam. Guuji in his lectures very
celarly sasid that this is not thodaya mangalam as the first part
was composed by our "acharyar" - "Thotakacharyar". it should be called
as Thotaka Mangalam only. Hope this would reach out to all the others
through this forum.

Radhekrishna,

As per Sanskrit Thotaka Mangalam is correct, but i asked  many eminent  bhagavathas they also said Thotaka Mangalam is correct, but while singing or discussing with others they will also spell it as Thodaya mangalam. In Bhajana Sampradhaayam book also  lot of mistakes,Main thing is we should see the lyrics then raagam now a days it is             vise-a-versa, the purpose will be defeated.

Its  my humble request especially to who attached to thennangur ashram or GAT pls spell it as Thotaka Mangalam.
