Update – This sankalpa is now complete and closed
———————————————
Shree Maa and Swamiji have given us a sankalpa to honor Shared Navaratri 2025. The sankalpa is to chant 100000 recitations (1 lakh recitations) as a group of the Kamakhya Devi mantras starting on Aug 31, 2025 and completing on Oct 2nd 2025 ( or until the 100000 recitations are complete).
Are you in? Would you like to join ?
If so, you can post on our Global Devi Mandir Telegram Group or on our India Devi Mandir WhatsApp Group and let us know you are joining the sankalpā.
Alternatively you can also confirm your participation via email to chandimaakijai@yahoo.com.
Please provide your name and also country where located.
The Kamakhya Maa mantras are as below – we chant ALL 3 verses in the order as given in the puja below, to count as ONE RECITATION.
Here is an audio of Swamiji chanting the mantras :
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.
Have more questions regarding this sankalpā? Just post in any one of the groups, or to the email mentioned above, and we will respond.
