Getting Started With Japa

In fact, japa is simple: you chant the Hare Krishna mantra once on each of the 108 beads, then turn back at the head bead. Many devotees chant in the early morning, when the mind is quiet. Moreover, a japa bag keeps the beads clean while you chant. Learn more about the japa mala tradition.

When you are ready, choose from our Tulsi japa malas, strung by hand in Mayapur.
