The practice

What is naam jaap?

Naam jaap is the practice of repeating a divine name or mantra as meditation. The word "naam" means name and "jaap" (also jap or japa) means repetition. It is the foundational spiritual practice across the Hindu, Sikh, Jain, and Buddhist traditions.

Each mantra carries its own sound vibration, its own meaning, and its own benefit. Some are simple - just one word like "Ram." Others are full Sanskrit verses like the Gayatri or Mahamrityunjaya. Some name a deity directly; others, like the Navkar, salute liberated beings without naming a god at all.

Traditionally the practice is counted on a mala, a string of 108 beads. With every recitation, one bead is moved between thumb and middle finger. Completing the full circle is "one round." This site replaces the physical mala with a digital counter that lives in your browser. Useful when traveling, working, or just starting.

In four steps

How it works

01

Pick a counter

Browse 12 mantras above. Each has its own counter page, the full text in Devanagari and English, the meaning, benefits, and a how-to guide.

02

Tap to chant

Tap the orb once each time you finish one full recitation. The number rises from 0 toward 108. Sound and vibration give gentle feedback.

03

Complete a mala

At 108 the orb celebrates and one mala is added to your total. Begin the next round, or come back tomorrow.

04

Build a streak

Chant at least one mantra daily to grow your streak. Each counter tracks its own count, malas, and streak.

Common questions

Frequently asked

What is the difference between "jaap" and "japa"?

Same word, different transliterations. "Jaap" (or "jap") is the Hindi pronunciation. "Japa" is the Sanskrit form. Both refer to the practice of mantra repetition.

Can I chant any mantra without initiation?

For most mantras on this site, yes. The Hare Krishna Maha Mantra, Ram Naam, Hanuman Chalisa, Om Sai Ram, Navkar, and several others are explicitly open to all sincere chanters.

Do I have to read Sanskrit or Devanagari?

No. Every counter shows the mantra in both Devanagari (देवनागरी) and English transliteration. Start with whichever is more comfortable.

What happens at 108?

The orb celebrates with a soft chord and a pulse animation. Your "Malas" count increases by one and the current count resets to zero so you can begin the next round.

Is my data private?

Yes. All counts are stored only in your browser's local storage on this device. Nothing is sent to any server. We do not know who you are or what you chant.

Will it work on my phone?

Yes, on any phone, tablet, or laptop. On Android phones each tap also vibrates softly. (iOS does not allow web pages to vibrate the device, so the vibrate option is hidden there.)

Start your daily naam jaap
