New sankapla -discussion points- to Chris and Debby and all

[Guest guest]

Namaste Chris and Debby:

 

Our daily re-committment and statement of the sankalpa is very

important. We start from the same place every day: confirming who we

are, where we are, and what we are doing, for what desired effect.

 

For example: each time I sit to perform the mantra, as part of this,

or any sankalpa, I state who and where I am, and what I am doing,

and that I desire peace for this universe. Even if I do it in English,

I still do it.

Then I state the mantra, with OM at the beginning. When I have

finished my mantras for the day, I thank Maa for the priviledge of

being part of this sankalpa.

As I understand this group sankalpa, we as a group are working

together with Maa to help create peace in this universe. Each time we

chant the mantra, we are adding to, and enhancing, the waves of

positive energy in the universe.

How Maa and the shakti of the universe puts our energy to use is up to

the universe. I just envision this wave of positive energy enveloping

and flowing thru the entire creation and bringing harmony and order.

 

We are uniting as a group. While we are each taking an individual

sankalpa, we are a group whom Maa asked to contribute our time and

energy, to help create peace in the universe. We are not alone. We

are not isolated. Whenever we begin, we are tapping into the unified

common purpose, and from there adding our hopes and desires and the

mantra.

This is a very powerful event. I want to do it correctly too, and I

want us to all work together as a team. A shared purpose is a very

powerful tool. Uniting with the Divine is our goal. This is another

technique to attain that goal.

Jai Maa Jai Swami

Jai Maa, Vishji and all of our beautiful divine family of love and

light!

 

Dearest brother Vishji, everything you expressed in your entire post

is so filled with the Shakti of Truth, that my eyes are filled with

tears and my heart is blossoming like a lotus reaching out for the

rising sun. i hope everyone reads those wise words and takes them to

heart and practices them...they are so inspiring and a great reminder

of how a sankalpa is done...why and how. AND...to remember at the end

of our chanting to thank Maa for the PRIVILGE OF participating in

this holy sankalpa. We CAN make a difference in the vibration of the

Universe...we ARE the Universe! i love you all so much!

Jai Maa! Jai Swamiji! Jai Thakur Ramakrishna Deva!

Muktimaa
