What is Mangal (Mang+al)?
The word 'mang' means 'happiness', and the one who brings happiness in our lives (Al-Layati) is called 'mangal.' (Shridhawala, Book-1, Page-34/35)
Another interpretation of Mangal (Mam+Gal) is done this way: The word 'Mam' means sin, and the one who rids us (Gal) from that sin is called 'mangal.' (Acharyakalpa Pt. Todarmalji, Shri Mokshamargprakashak, Adhikar-I).
