SrI:

Dear Sri Ramachandran :

I agree with you .
Without Bhaavam and sraddhaa ,
all of these karmAnushtAnams
are not worth the effort .

Varshe, Bharatha Khande" while outside India




  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.

  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.
