Mantra Chanting
Sit facing east or north during the practice. This enhances the
effectiveness of the Jaap.
You must sit with a positive frame of mind and think of the mantra you are
chanting. Every word produces a certain vibration. The vibration of the
word affects our granthis and parts of our brain.
Try to associate the chant with the rhythm of the breath and meditate in
the form of your Deity. Keep a picture or idol of the Deity in front of you.
Think of the meaning of the Mantra while repeating it.
Use a rosary of 108 beads. Do not allow the rosary to hang below the
navel. The rosary (mala) must not be visible to you or to others, so cover it
properly. Use the middle finger and the thumb of the right to roll the
beads. The use of the index finger is not allowed. Do not cross the meru
(main bead) while rolling the beads.
