    I received JAPA many years ago through Sri Ramakrishna’ writing. Sri Durga and her mantra is what I started with and I haven’t varied from it. Divine Mother has grown immensely in my life and I find myself chanting her mantra constantly. My love for my God has grown immensely!

    Hello! I'm about to start practicing Japa. I am from a small country in Central America and I've been called to these ancient practices, not because of popularity but because I came across them and felt genuinely called to do them. I have found than while meditating I feel this sort of "push" to chant, which is why I'm starting today. Also, I feel so called to wearing a Bindi (not for fashionable reasons at all!) Because of its sacred meaning about the Ajna Chakra (a reminder to see the world not only with the two eyes!) and I feel sort of compelled to show my devotion that way. I hope that is okay since I was not born a Hindu nor do I claim to be one! Also, I know the meaning behind it and I don't really go to parties or any place where it would be disrespected. Anyway, thanks a lot for this video.
    Blessings ♡

      Sure👍.
      If you can get initiation form any Guru then it's well and good, else treat God as your Guru and start chanting.

    Naveen sir,DO we need any rudraksh to do japa or can we do it single hand?

      You can do it either way. The advantage with Japa mala is that the mind can be easily concentrated with out much diversion and moreover you can have the number of counts/rounds.

    No But Hare Krishna hare ram mantra has to be spoken, because it is most fruitful in that condition, as our acharyas have written

    Please help me with my question.
    Is it compulsory to do japa of specific numbers like 5, 7, 11 or 21 or 108 ??
    Problem arises that my focus shifted on counting the numbers instead of that mantra.
    For example i prefer 21 times Gayatri mantra japa. But it always happens that either my focus diverts from mantra to the counting or counting of that mantra to chanting. Either way i lose the rhythm.
    I have tried beads too, which helped but not 100% as i always forget to change beads or shift fingers to next one.

      Sure. But choose any one mantra and do not change it.

    Am seeking for three answers, the questions are-
    1. Am not a dikshita, so may I japa or chant the mantra of my beloved Gods/Goddesses without the enlightenment of Guru?
    2. Do I have to take a bath and wear a clean cloth and sit in holy place while chanting every time? I want to know the eating,sitting and clothing norms while chanting, as there are so many people giving me different advice on the purity and cleanliness while chanting. Also can anyone chant sitting on the bed??
    3. How to find my Ishta Devta and that also without Guru? And can I jaap multiple Gods and Goddesses??
    🙏😇🙏😇🙏

      1. If you can get initiation from a Guru/Spiritual institution, then it is well and good. Else, treat God as your Guru and start doing Japa.
      2. Physical and mental purity is obviously prerequisite. Try your best to maintain the same.
      3. Ishta Devata is the one who is most beloved to you. Stick to only one name/mantra of your Ishta and do not switch at any time. Ofcourse, you can do kirtan, bhajan etc of all Gods and Goddesses but for Japa, stick to only one.
      Hope this is useful.
