Guest guest Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 hi berijoy i don't represent the mandir but here is a filler answer until latha or someone can respond. the ishta deva is one's preferred image of divinity. this could be a guru, a picture of jesus, even a stone or a hill. it is very personal and is your manifested link to the divine. sankalpa is both a desire and a commitment. it is your vow, saying "i will do such and such" ... best suited to a spritual activity, such as "i will do 100 mantras each day for a week." there is a specific form the sankalpa can be expressed in that can be recited or read before the action itself is made. latha knows it very well. steve c. , "Berijoy" <berijoy> wrote: > can you tell me meaning of ishta devata and sankalpa? > Â > thanks. > Â > berijoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
