Swamiji and Maa recommend us to take a sankalpa before every task that we do - this is a positive reaffirmation that clarifies why we are doing what we are doing. So yes, by all means chant the sankalpa mantra "om adya jambudvipe .." before you start your sadhana. If unsure about the sanskrit or what to fill in for lunar days etc , keep it simple and say in English (I often do) . For this sankalpa suggested for 2007 ( /surveys?id=12494956 </surveys?id=12494956> ) you do NOT need to put "om" in front and "svaha" at the end. Just chant the "core" mantra. Hope this helps.
