Japa (Sanskrit: जप) is a spiritual discipline involving the meditative repetition of a mantra or name of a divine power.
The mantra or name may be spoken softly, enough for the practitioner to hear it, or it may be spoken within the reciter’s mind.
Japa may be performed while sitting in a meditation posture, while performing other activities, or as part of formal worship in group settings.
The practice of repetitive prayer is present in varied forms within most religions in the world. Japa is considered the best method for self realization in the modern world as it helps to focus and concentrate the mind lead it to true mediation and ultimately Samadhi.
