Question about Mother Earth sankalpa and when to start

[Guest guest]

Dear Devnathji and all,

 

a question has arisen: I've made a schedule which would allow me to

complete the Mother Earth sankalpa in 30 weeks. I thought I would

start coming Sunday. But then that is the first day of the dark

fortnight of the month. I know that in other traditions, it is

considered inauspicious to start something new when the moon is

waning. Would it be better to wait until after the New Moon and start

on the first day of the bright fortnight of next month? Or is all this

of no relevance here? Your input and advice would be greatly

appreciated,

 

with love,

Henny

On the one hand, every day of life is auspicious, so begin today .

 

On the other hand, you could start then on the first tithi after the new moon.

thank you very much for your advice. I think I'll start practicing

right now, so that I'll know what I am doing on the first tithi when I

really really start:),
