📌 IMPORTANT: Read Before You Practice 🙏

✨We recommend this Sankalpa for those doing Anushthana/Sadhana without any Sankalpa.

✨Sankalpa is important as it sets clear intention and aligns the mind with the practice, ensuring focus, bhava, and dedication.

✨While holding the guru bead, focus on its contact — it aids grounding and deepens reverence for the practice.

✨Its a Modified version of advaita tradition but If you're already doing Sankalpa from your birth or initiated tradition, please continue with that. No need to change.

How to Apply this to the practice you are doing?
👉 Note the followings which change:
1. Name of the deity - Add the name of the deity before the word 'prītyarthaṁ'. Ex: śrīrāmacandra, śrījagadambā
2. Name of the mantra/stotra - If it is a mantra, then add the name of that mantra in the place of 'śrīśivapañcākṣarī'. Ex: śrīśivapañcākṣarī. And if it is a stotra, then add the name of it in that same place and replace the word 'mantra' with 'stotra'. Ex: śrīrāmarakṣāstotra-japākhyaṁ, śrīlalitāsahasranāmastotra-japākhyaṁ.
3. Pro tip: If it is a stotra, then you can of course say 'stotra-japākhyaṁ' as metioned above, or you can also say 'stotra-pārāyaṇākhyaṁ'.
