mantras of Maha Sankalpam given below Summary meaning:The Brahmin first prays God that the
time of doing whatever it may be should become holy and this he is sure is achieved by prayer to
God.Then he tells when he is doing this japa, for example which year, which season, which day and
so on.And he says that this japa is being done as a repentance for his not perfornming various
religious duties including Learning of Vedas during the year which he ought to have performed.The
main manthra is a prayer to pardon the lapses which were due to Kama(passion) krodha(anger) and
lopa(avarice) 3.Maha Sankalpam ( 30-8-2023 after Madhyaanikam and Brahma yagnam-Manthras

2024 Before you do the Upakarma , please calculate corresponding IST to your time and take the
proper Thidhi and Nakshatra. Summary meaning:Here again apart from locating oneself with
reference to time , one locates himself with reference to place also.We are supposed to live in
Jambu Dweepa, Bharatha Kanda which is south of the great mountain Maha meru.Then again this
Bhasratha Kanda is blessed with many holy rivers and holy places.Then prayer is done to God to
pardon sins committed by word, thought and deed, because this was done inspite of his great grace
which made us be born as human beings after several wheels of birth.Also the sins performed during
several ages in life is highlighted.Some of the sins specifically mentioned are those done while
earning money without conscience, giving money to improper people, actions which did not suit the
caste we are born in, sins due to non performance of actions which ought to have been done and so
on. We pray God and tell him that we would take bath in holy pure water and then start the veda
parayanas which is our duty as Brahmin. 4.Yagnopa veetha dharana manthra After bath again
change poonal by reciting manthra as given in s.No.1.Please note that now a days very rarely people
take bath after mahaa sankalpam but do prokshana snanam i.e bath by sprinkling of water on the
head. 5.Kanda Rishi Tharpanam 1,Aachamanam 2,Shklaama baradharam 3.Om bhoo 4.Mamo patha
samastha durida kshya dwara sri parameshwata preethyartham sravanyaam pournamaasyam
adhyoyapakrama karmangam kanda rishi tharpanam karishye. Wear poonal as garland and do
tharpanam using water mixed with thil (black gingely) and akshatha Each manthra has to be chanted
thrice and tharpanam done. 1.Prajapathim kanda rishim tharpayami 2,Somam kanda rishim
tharpayami 3.Agnim kanda rishim tharpayami 4.Viswaan devaan kanda rishim tharpayaami
5.Saahinkeer devatha upanishadha tharpayami 6.Yagnigeer devatha upanishadha tharpayaami
7.Vaaruneer devatha upanishadha tharpayami 8.Brhamanagum swayubhuvam tharpayaami
9.Sadasaspathim tharpayami wear poonal in the normal fashion and then do aachamana. Summary
meaning:Tharpanam means really satisfying.By this tharpanam we satisfy the rishi(sages) of
Soma(moon), Agni(fire), Viswaan devan(all gods looking after earth), etc. 5.Vedarambham Though
these are essential part of Avani avittam , I am not giving this because Vedic manthraas are very
difficult to transliterate in to English and reading them wrongly would be counter productive.
