Here is a short Q&A regarding the sankalpa:

Q1 – While chanting the mantra, 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 mantras that I should chant as an individual?
A2 – You can chant as many or as few mantras 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 mantras 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.
