Hiranyam- material for transacting successfully in this life

Shriyum- cosmic source of abundance

Shree- manifestation of the above in the individual

 

Sankalpam with rk 1

 

Oh Agni, you present yourself to me as an external manifestation of the fire of will power within me.

I thus address my own chidagni, as I make this request.

May the flames of my own will power rise and touch the Divine Source of all Illumination, Knowledge and Energy.

May you bring to me all that is necessary for me to transact in this world, so day by day I can fulfill my dharma and live the Life Divine.

 

Sankalpam with rk 2

 

Oh Agni, bring to me that Lakshmi, which will never abandon me.

I know that if I have Lakshmi, then I can acquire nourishment, provisions, transport and services, that in turn support and facilitate Life.

So too I know that with the knowledge from the Vedas, nourished internally, with adequate energy translated into actions, with the support and services of the good, I can live the Life Divine.

 

Sankalpam with rk 3

 

Oh Agni, I am from within, calling on the Infinite Source of Abundance that is Shriyum.

My body and my energies guided by dharmic motivation are ready for the pursuit.

May this source of abundance, Shriyum manifest itself in me and thus bring about my rejoicing.

 

Sankalpam with rk 4

 

Oh Agni, life is one of constant intake and pouring of energy and actions.

This process involves a step by step handling of my own nature.

It includes recognition, separation, refinement and consolidation that will yield coins of Truth, with which I may conduct all transactions in life.

 

Sankalpam with Rk 5

 

Oh cosmic source of Shree, you gladden the Divine in me the way the moon does with her magnanimous shine. I take refuge in you, that is within me in the form of unending creativity. May you gratefully destroy alaksmi in me.

 

Sankalpam for Rk6

 

Towards that I am offering through YAGNA, the bilva fruits that represent you glowingly like the sun in the sky. By this ritual may you remove alakshmi both internal and external.

 

Sankalpam for Rk 7

 

May I attain a relationship of friendliness with the devas and may I be worthy of recognition by Manu. I have taken form here anyway. May you bless me with progressive recognition for my works, here.

 

Sankalpam for Rk8

 

I declare that I will destroy alakshmi, the precondition to be removed, by assuaging hunger and thirst and destroying filth. May you remove from my home ( environment) the lack of provisions and progress.

 

Sankalpam for Rk 9

 

Oh ruler of all entities , Shriyum, knowing that my vaasanas as potent as they are, have to be used via dharma for enrichment, I call upon you to make your presence felt here.

 

Sankalpam for Rk 10

 

Knowing that desires when vocalised become true and actualised, may Shree happen through plentitude of provisions and energies thus attained by me.

 

Sankalpam for Rk 11

 

May I be blessed with the capacity to provide proper growth the way a good soil does. May you oh Mother Shriyum, like a string of creative processes, reside in my clan.

 

Sankalpam for Rk 12

 

Oh Mother Shriyum may thou reside in my home in the form of love that will bond like moisture, and keep my family together.

 

Sankalpam for Rk 13 and 14

 

Oh Agni bring to me that Lakshmi , that is fully resourceful , which I may attain through diligent efforts that yield fulfillment.

 

Sankalpam for Rk 15

​

Bring to me Oh Agni, that Lakshmi , that will never abandon me, by whose substance I may acquire provisions, energies and services.
