2 VotesEvery Hindu, while praying or performing a religious rite is reciting a Mantra.This is done at the beginning after worshipping and getting the blessings of Lord Ganesha /Ganapathi.Over a period of Time people have doing it by rote with out being aware of the meaning, thinking it is something mystical and at times ridiculing it as nonsense.The Sankalpa or Clear Resolution is a scientifically devised mode to pinpoint a location in the Universe and the individual with reference to it( as there are many worlds existing simultaneously at the same time) who is seeking the Blessings of The Lord.Sankalpa is Clear resolution as Resolutions are normally meant to be broken as in New Year Resolutions.However, one is not expected to be flippant while seeking Guidance from The Almighty.The Mind should be made up as to what we really want.More often than not , at the time of Praying we get confused and vacillate what to ask for.One should be clear.Else ,one should make a general wishSarve Janas Sukino BhavantuMay All be Happyor slightly more specificSree Varchasvam Ayushyam Aarogyam Ma Vidhaa Chobhaa maanam Maheyante,Dhaanyam Dhanam, Pasum, bahu Puthra Laabham ,Satha Samvathsaram,Dheergamaayuhu(May I Be granted (enveloped by)Wealth,Long Life,Health,Enough Food,Possessions, Good Children, 120 years of Life and Longevity _The Life , mentioned at first indicates the quality of Life,Second number of Years, and the third the years granted to a Man in this Kali Yuga)When we want specific results, we need to be specific and we are to indicate where we are from not- that God does not Know you, this is form of address one has to follow and it is organised systematically).Thought have a way of influencing events(read my blog Thoughts change Events Proved-Data)The Full Sankalpa Text.Aadhya Brahmanah,Dwdheeya Paraarthe,Swetha Varaha Kalpe,Vaivaswatha Manvantare,Astavikum Sathi tha me.Kali Yuge,Pradhame padhe.Jambooth Dweepe,Bharata Varshe,Bharata Kande,Merooh,Dakshine parsve for those south of India) Sahapthe,Asmin,Varthamane,Vyavahaarike,Prabhavaathi,Shasti Savastharaanam,Madhye .(name of the year) nama samvathsareDakshinaayane /Uttarayane(movement of the SUN to Cancer to Capricorn),.(Name of the season among the six seasons), Ritau,..(Name of The Month),.pakshe(indicate the Waxing and Waning of the Moon)Punya Thithou,..(mention the Day) Vaasara Yukthaayaammention the Nakshatra/Star Yukthaayaam.Asmaakam Saha Kudumbaanaam,Kshema, Dhairya,, Veerya, Vijaya, Ayur, Arogya, Aiswarya Naam,Dharma ,Artha, Kama, Moksha,Chatur vith pala purushaartyartham,..mention Gotra(your lineage ( there will be three in number-this is called Pravaram- the details are posted separaetely)..mention you christened NameHinduMeasurements.svg/220px-HinduMeasurements.svg.png
