Devi Mandir

World Peace Sankalpa – Shivaratri 2014 Edition – COMPLETED.

As part of Shivaratri 2014, Shree Maa and Swamiji have 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.

This is a special three-part sankalpa – it involves the chanting of a mantra, and/or walking a certain number of steps a day along with the practice of a few yogasanas. Can you talk the talk, walk the walk and remain in equilibrium?

Read below for details:


Dates of the Sankalpa

Start Date: January 30th, 2014
End Date: Feb 27th, 2014


Goal of the Sankalpa

The group sankalpa is three-fold :
1) Participants will complete 10008 malas of “Om Namah Shivaya” 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 between 30th Jan 2014 and 27th Feb 2014.

3) Participants will do the first five ( Tadasana to Virabhadrasana 1) of the yoga asana sequence as given by Shree Maa. Please see http://shreemaa.org/hatha-yoga-pictures/ It is recommended to do three repetitions of each pose a day.


The Sankalpa Mantra

Chant this mantra as many malas as you can (One mala = 108 repetitions of the mantra):

OM NAMAH SHIVAYA
