Sankalp Mantra
The practice of Śaṅkalpa Mudrā brings completeness to all physical, mental, and spiritual efforts. Perform it three times daily in a good posture. It serves your personal life, family, and work for society, done with awareness of unity with Brahman. This mantra and practice lead consciousness toward completeness, improving bodily functions and fulfilling actions. Preparation is key; a seed grows regardless, but proper planting aids it. Purification is required; the body has impurities, so wash, wear clean clothes, and sit in the prayer mudrā. Śaṅkalpa is your resolution. Sit straight, hold your hands in the mudrā slightly apart. A flower represents completeness and purity; water slides off it like a lotus. Hold your resolution in your hand. Learn the provided śaṅkalpa and mantra by heart. Repeat them. After saying the mantra three times, place petals or rice before an altar. Perform this practice at least twice daily for success. Hold your hands correctly, as improper position may hinder success. If present, practice with others.
"Oṃ Pūrṇamadaḥ Pūrṇamidaṃ Pūrṇāt Pūrṇamudacyate Pūrṇasya Pūrṇamādāya Pūrṇamevāvaśiṣyate."
"He Param Pitā Parātmā, mere saṅkalp kī rakṣā kījī."

Bhajan singing from Vep
The radiance of the true Guru dispels all darkness.
The true Guru is the embodiment of divine knowledge. That Guru is not an ordinary person but the very form of God. Meeting such a Guru is the ultimate fortune. The Guru's grace alone can illuminate the inner self. Without this grace, one remains in ignorance. The Guru's word is the supreme authority. Through the Guru, one attains liberation.
