How to take part

There is no single required way. Recite according to your own practice, and offer whatever you accumulate.

If you already have a sadhana

Continue exactly as you normally practise. Your teacher's instructions come first. Simply keep a count of the mantras you recite and offer the number here.

Two ways to practise

Both are complete in themselves. Choose whichever suits the time you have.
