is recitation
of a Mantra (a sacred word) after understanding it's meaning.
When done regularly, the person masters the Mantra and the deity
corresponding to that mantra is pleased and grants the desire
of the person.
Lord Krishna says in the Bhagvat
Gita
Of all the Vedas I am the Sama Veda
Of all the Yagnas I am the Japa yagna
Thus highlighting the importance of japam
Japam can be done by everyone. However for yagnas certain conditions
are mentioned.
There are three ways by which one can do Japam
-
Ucchaihi
- loud recitation - less effective
- Upamshu
- soft recitation - more effective
- Manasikam
- within the mind - most effective.
OM
is the basic vibration of the cosmic universe. Hence all
mantras begin with "OM".
Benefits
of Japam
- Physical
- to energize the system (to tone up th e system)
- Mental
- to remove depression/obstacles/mental blocks.
- Spiritual
- self-development/specific areas of growth (strengthening the
inner-personality by projecting positive powers inwards; over-coming/eliminating
negative traits)

The
mantra's vibrations energize the system. Each mantra has a
vibration that corresponds to a particular need.eg. to remove
depression, to remove obstacles. There are specific
mantras for specific areas of growth Japam is an important
tool for self-development and association of the self with
God or infinity.An Individual can choose any form of the above
japams and reap the benefits of mantra chanting. They may
even begin with one japa form and gradually increase to the
highest and effective form of japa. The uninitiated in the
practice of japa may find the first form Ucchahi japa more
easy to practise than Manasikam. Then the practitioner of
the japa may begin with the easy Japa form and advance to
mind oriented chanting of the mantra. |
Eventually the
mind is brought into control and calm. The mantra energises the
desire of the wish seeker and invokes the grace of the Lord for
its fulfilment.
DEPENDING ON THE CHRONICITY OF THE PROBLEM / REQUIREMENT, ONE SHOULD CHOOSE LAGU / GURU / MAHA JAPAMS
