Shree Maa has just blessed us with a new group sankalpa as part of Sharad Navaratri to continue our efforts in praying for world peace. She lovingly chooses these powerful mantras in order to create a specific benefit in each of our lives.
The collective effort in chanting the sankalpa at the same time as hundreds of other devotees also creates special benefits for the whole universe.
This sankalpa involves the chanting of malas of a simple mantra and contributing to the group total. Read below for more details:
