As part of Kali Puja 2014, Shree Maa has just blessed us with a new group sankalpa to continue our efforts in praying for world peace. The collective effort in chanting the sankalpa mantra at the same time as other devotees creates special benefits for the whole universe.
If you take one step towards God or the Guru, She will take ten steps towards you. This sankalpa is taking a step towards God and our collective goal is to take 1,000,000 steps towards God.
This special sankalpa involves the chanting of a mantra, as well as walking a certain number of steps a day. Can you talk the talk and walk the walk ?
Read below for details:
Dates of the Sankalpa
Start Date: January 1st, 2014
End Date: January 29th, 2014
Goal of the Sankalpa
The group sankalpa is two-fold :
1) Participants will complete 3000 malas of the Kali japa mantra during the sankalpa time period. All are welcome to participate in this prayer for World Peace.
2) Participants will walk a certain number of steps each day, and each person will determine the number based on their own individual fitness levels. We aim to complete 3,000,000 steps as a group by the 29th Jan 2014.
The Sankalpa Mantra
Chant this mantra as many malas as you can (One mala = 108 repetitions of the mantra):
