[For any prayer or performance of any sacred work whether it is Sandhyaa, puja, yagna, or any ritual performed by any individual this customary sankalpa has to be narrated. It denotes the commitment and determination of the performer to rightfully and sincerely perform such sacred rituals. Here in this sankalpa it is not hing but remembering which of the samvatsara (year), period or season (Ritau), month (mAse), the half of lunar month (pakshe), lunar day (tithau), day (vAsare), star of the day (nakshatre) has to be to according to the calendar. Kaala, i.e. kaaladevata is equally God. Even one has to remember that the prayer is initiated by paramaatmaa and to get His blessings love, I am performing the respective ritual. This is a must as it has been understood that without this sankalpa the prayer or ritual will not materialise or not received by the God.
The need for this is to totally concentrate on the present moment instead of the usual mind's habit of either brooding over the past or dreaming of the future.]
