Respected Sir:
A similar poser was also received from a devoutee whose posting was
somewhere beyond Ulan Bator (outer Mongolia).  Another devoutee working for
National Geographic globe-trotting  frequently had landed up somewhere in
the interiors of Africa and was not sure about this sanklpam.
Maybe in such cases where there could be problems in clarity of correct
description of the place in Sankrit and with Vedic references, one may
simply resort to the mental 'bhavana' whereby one sees oneself in this
country itself i.e. Bharata Varsha. Most of us are certainly more likely to
remember our respective hometown here in India and to some extent can
easily bring up the mental picture of their home. The  'bhavana'  can be
retained as long as one is involved with the relevant ritual for which the
Sankalpa is taken and then  come out of the  'bhavana'  once the ritual
concludes.  There seems to be another advantage in adopting this  'bhavana'
 , viz.more focussed concentration is indirectly obtained as one remains
physically present in whatever town or city, but mentally the heart and the
spirit is in this country.  One is sure that our beloved Lord knows all and
thus would not perhaps mind this apparent mismatch in the Sankalpa
utterances and the location of the physical/external body.

This writer may be forgiven for his views are erroneous.

SrI:

Dear AasthikAs :

The question on Sankalpam for Vaidhika Karmaas  by
overseas residents  comes up quite often .

Sri Vaasu VaadhyAr's suggestions will be useful to you in this context.

Subject: [Vaideekam] about the Sankalpa saying "Bhartha Varshe, Bharatha
Khande" while outside India


Respected Vasu Vadhyar,

Pranams !

While saying 'Sankalpa' normally we say "Bharatha Varshe, Bhartha Khande,"
etc. While we are outside India - does this make sense ?

With Respects
Maha


Sankalpam Changes for USA:
Hariromthathu ..... prathame pathe asmathu Bharadhasya

Paschimasthe krouncha dweepe uththara Kande Asmin

vardhamane ....

So, you should change accordingly to all other places.
Also you can fill the unknown data with "Vishnu" as 'Vishnu Varshe',
'Vishnu Kande' etc. or you can just leave all the detail after "Prathame
pathe to dhakshine paarsve" and continue from 'Asmin Varthamane
vyavaharike' etc.
