In Jainism, "Maanglik" refers to a special type of blessing or respectful greeting given by monks, nuns, or spiritually elevated persons (such as Arihants, Siddhas, Acharyas, Upadhyayas, and Sadhus). The word "Maanglik" can be translated to English as "auspicious blessing" or "benediction." Reciting or receiving a Maanglik is believed to purify the mind and bring spiritual upliftment.
