Sankalpa is the mantra for conscious resolution. In layman terms, it is a small prayer which primarily focuses on the wish/desire behind performing a particular ritual. Sankalpa means intention formed by the heart and mind. When you take a sankalpa, you simply invite the Universe to listen to your intention; you pray, and surrender the intention to the Divine. You dont have to keep thinking about it or get worked up about it. Work towards it, then, let it go, and rest in the faith that only the best will happen to you. Know more
