We can talk more when I come back.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">For the time being you take a sankalpa, which is a pledge of a minimum offering, which can be increased in the future. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Keep it very simple because if you can do more is good but if you can\u2019t it\u2019s not good at all. Like for instance pledge everyday an incense and a cup of water and change their clothing once a week. Something like that.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Of course you should offer bhoga on the altar so that becomes prasadam.
