Here is a short Q&A regarding the sankalpa:
Q1 – While chanting the mantras, should I sit on an āsanā, or is it ok to sit on a chair?
A1- You can do mantra japā while in an āsanā AND also while doing normal everyday tasks ie without an āsanā
Q2- Are there any rules to follow while doing the Japā, like taking a bath before starting the practice.
A2- There are no specific rules. Just do it
Q3 – Is there a minimum number of recitationss that I should chant as an individual?
A2 – You can chant as many or as few recitations as you want. Obviously the more the better towards reaching our group target, and more importantly for your own bhāvā during this auspicious time.
Q4- How to do I report the number of recitations I chanted?
A4 – You can reply to the message that Nanda Maa posts on the either the Global Telegram group of the India WhatsApp Group. She will request your counts once or twice a week and you can respond with the total number you have chanted from the beginning of the sankalpa until the point you report.
