Sankalpam
From the Bhakti List Archives
• July 25, 1995
Thanks to : " Dileepan & Triplicane Vijayaraghavan.." For posting the mantras. A small suggestion in the sankalpam .. I came across this version recently when a friend had his upanayanam at the Siva Vishnu temple in DC. "hari: Om thath srigOvindha gOvindha gOvindha aSya sri ... etc etc etc... dhvitheeyaparaartthE srisvEtha varaahakalpE vaivaSvatha manNmantharE, kaliyugE, this is Vaivasvata manvanthare - the manu-antara ( manvantara ) of the Manu Vivasvat.. "prathamOpaathE, jamboodhveepE, baarathavarshE amerikkaa kaNdE sakaapthE mErO: dhaxiNE paarcvE aSmin varttha maanNE the continent we are on is krauncha kanTa, and "america" has been sanskritized to "ramaNaka varsha".. So, krauncha kaNTe, ramaNaka varshe.. "ramaNaka" comes from the word "ramaNa" - attractive, with the same root as "Raama" (rama it Raama ) and Ramya etc. Considering how many of us this place is pulling in, not a bad name ;) Sundar
