Japa (Essays Book 5)
Dayananda Saraswati · ★★★★★ · 25 pages · 2019
short and detailed
I read Swami Sivananda’s book on Japa where he covers different mantras and techniques but weirdly enough I realized I didn’t know what a Japa is. In this short book that is covered.
A Japa is a way to create a repeating though which is a prayer with a moment of silence limiting thoughts from going place to place. This creates a place to rest your mind: defaulting to a prayer. Further, you limit your mind from branching out into different thoughts.
