sankalpa anyone?

[Guest guest]

Namaste to all to took 9 day sankalpas. Hope it was successful.

 

We just received the new calendar thanks to Swami

Vittalananda who delivered them in the rain just in time.

 

Now that Latha has posted a wonderful power point

presentation on reading the calendar we should all be able to

design our own sankalpas accordingly.

 

We are now in Kartik maase(month) shukla paksha(bright

fortnight. Today begins the 1st day(pratipad) of the new

month.(kartik)

 

Today is the 1st day of a new Year and a new month and a great

day to begin a new sankalpa or keep the old one going.

 

If anyone is interested in continuing with a 9 day sankalpa here

are the possible dates for the month of Kartik.

 

 

Nov.12-Friday -Nov.20 Sat. (pratipad-navami) shukla paksha

 

Nov.17-Wed.-Nov.26 Fri. (sashti-purnima) shukla paksha

 

Nov.27-Sat-Dec.5 Wed. (pratipad-navami) krishna paksha

 

Dec. 2- Thurs.-Dec. 11 Sat. (sashti-amavasya) krishna paksha

 

You can also take a sankalpa for a half of the month: i.e

Nov.12-Nov.26(pratipad-purnima, shukla paksha) or

Nov. 27-Dec.11 (pratipad-amavasya, krishna paksha)

 

Or you can take a sankalpa for the whole month.

 

Remember that the sankalpa you take should be something

that you can fit into your schedule based on your time and

inspiration.

 

Happy sankalpa taking to all! May we all have the same firm

determination as Lord Shiva. Remember Swamiji started with

increasing his asan by 5 minutes a month.
