650--Q&A WITH SWAMIJI- Recite sankalpa everday?

[Guest guest]

Question from Surya/Nanda:

When we take a sankalpa involving several days (or months like the

Sarvaabaadha sankalpa), is it necessary to say a sankalpa each day ?

Especially since some of us chant our daily quota of mantras during our

commute to various errands/work, and the mantras may be chanted with

several breaks during the day. Having to add a sankalpa statement each

time seems a bit much especially with the breaks and inability to know

how many malas one can complete during the commute. Your help is greatly

appreciated.

 

Swamiji's response:

No, it is not necessary to verbalize the sankalpa every day. If you take

the sankalpa once at the beginning, and then reaffirm it daily through

your actions, that will be sufficient.

 

Thanks for your participation.

Thanks for asking Nanda and thank you Swamiji ! Yesterday for me included about 2.5 hours of commute plus 13 hour day, and that question came up in my mind also.

 

Sincerely

 

Om Namah Sivaya
