Japa

Japa is a spiritual practice involving the repetitive recitation or silent chanting of a specific mantra or name of a deity. Often using a mala (prayer beads), practitioners perform this practice to enhance focus, cultivate inner peace, and deepen their connection to the divine. It can be done quietly or aloud, and the rhythmic repetition helps center the mind, promote mindfulness, and foster spiritual growth. Japa is common in various traditions like Hinduism, Buddhism, and other spiritual paths, serving as a meditative tool to calm the mind and attain inner harmony.
