Practicing Mantra Jaap :
Select any Mantra and repeat it from one to ten malas. Take a bath or wash your hands, feet, face and mouth before sitting for Jaap in the morning. Sit facing east or north during the practice. This enhances the effectiveness of the Jaap. Sit in a separate meditation room or in any suitable place, such as a temple, on a river bank or under a banyan or peepal tree. You can sit in Padmasana, Siddhasana or Sukhasana. Resolve to complete a certain minimum number of malas before leaving your seat. Always sit on a puja asana to perform Jaap. Once finish before getting take your puja asana and with your right hand touch the floor where you have been seated and put that hand on your head. This means whatever jaap you have done you will get the benefit if not done so all the benefits will be go on the floor.

Use a mala of 108 beads. Do not allow the mala to hang below the navel:
The 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 mental Jaap for sometime without a mala. When the mind wanders, do the Jaap aloud, or whisper the Mantra for some time and come back to mental Jaap again as soon as possible. Do not chant mantra in haste. Do it slowly with feeling, concentration of mind and devotion. One can leave the place after a dedicated prostration, with a feeling that everything belongs to that almighty. The Puja, Sadhana, Meditation and Jaap etc, any kind of prayers offered to the Almighty must be done with a sincere heart.
