Japa Mantrasजप मंत्र

Japa is the meditative repetition of a mantra, counted on a mala of beads, that gathers a scattered mind into a single sound. Japa mantras such as Om Namah Shivaya and the Gayatri Mantra are chanted aloud, whispered, or held silently in the mind. This collection presents each with its sound, meaning, and a simple guide to practice.
