Every mind is unique and extraordinary, Its abilities and possibilities are infinite and unimaginable. However, its blossoming depends on its will - Sankalpa. We can 'will' ourselves to enlightened heights or plunge ourselves into ignoble darkness. Shiva-Sankalpa Suktam is a praise of this extraordinary mind and a prayer for divinising its thoughts - Shiva Sankalpam astu. Swami Tejomayananda's commentary explores its beauty and depth and concludes on a sweet note of surrendering the mind to the will of Shiva-Sivasya sankalpam astu.
