This is the first week of sadhana, and about 35 of the 49 people that have signed up for this sankalpa have sent in their updates. A few people will be starting the next week,we look forward to seeing the mantra numbers grow.
As of Jan 14th, the group has completed 75,849 repetitions of the mantra, and one lone participant has done 756 repetitions at the fire
There have been very enthusiastic responses from the participants
Surya says:
So far I chanted this most auspicious mantra 13,203 times (actually more but this is all I kept track of officially). That is 122.25 malas.
Jai Hand Tally Counter! It is really what has made the difference and allowed me to keep it up most of the day and night. Driving, at work, shopping, preparing dinner, etc. Even at the movies with my kids seeing Charlotte's Web and during the season premier of 24! Ha!
This sankalpa is opening me up in many ways and leading me to new ideas about taking my other sadhanas to the next level. What a blessing from Maa!
