Daily Mantra Japa Vidhi

Mantra Japa is the practice of repeating mantra while focusing on the meaning of the mantra. Mantra Japa is best done using a strand of beaded mala known as Japa mala made of Rudraksha, red sandal, Tulsi or sphatik beads. Chanting of mantra helps anchor the fickle mind, improve focus and concentration and helps attain peace of mind.

You can follow below mentioned steps to repeat mantra using a Japa Mala:

Sit on an Asana (rug) in a steady and comfortable pose in Sukhasana or Padmasana.
You many resolve to repeat certain amount of mantras
Use a rosary or japa mala with tassel or Sumeru and begin the Japa on a bead next to Sumeru or tassel or Guru bead by gently rolling it between thumb and ring or middle finger until you reach Guru bead
Do not cross the Guru bead instead reverse the bead string and start with second round and repeat the procedure mentioned above
Ensure the level of mala is not below the navel and do not use the index finger for rolling the mala
Rhythm the mantra with the breath and think of the meaning of mantra
Repeat the mantra slowly with a feeling that the mantra is purifying your thoughts and heart
After completion of mantra Japa, sit in silence for some time to imbibe the spiritual vibrations of the mantra Japa

One again thanking you with full heart and with good wishes and regards

Respected and Beloved Neetaji, Thank you for your kind invitation which I attended from 8.40 to 11.30 pm yesterday. It was pleasant to watch you doing Rudra Abhishekam with all the devotion and with all the ingridients like Milk, Honey, water, Prasadam etc. You are so thoughtful to engage the services of about a dozen Pundits who were chanting hyms, Panchatchara Mantra besides Rudram/Chamakam. The whole atmosphere was reverberated with spirital fervour. I think all the devotees who attended the function enjoyed it. To cap it all, you have also made every one to participate by doing Abhishekam
