Meditation with Jaap is Mantra Yoga

5. MANTRA SIDDHI – Repetition of a Mantra by doing Jaapa; generally, 108 to 1,080 times daily/one to ten malas per sitting.
When the same is properly recited and reached the cumulative figures as prescribed in our ancient texts, the Mantra becomes SIDDHA.
B. JAAP
Repetition of any Mantra is Jaapa. Doing Jaapa gives us eternal bliss, feeling of Sat, Chit and Ananda. Jaapa must be done with faith and feeling.
Manasika Japa– The silent repetition of Mantra
Vaikhari Japa– The loud repetition of Mantra
Upamshu Japa– The whisper repetition of Mantra
Likhita Japa – The written repetition of Mantra
C. DHYANA/MEDITATION
Dhyana is meditation on the form of the Lord with His attributes. We are discussing here of meditation or Dhyana with Japa (Japa-Sahita-Dhyana).
Japa and Dhyana go hand in hand and to me they are inseparable.

Doing Jaap while meditating – Use right hand only and the middle finger and the thumb of the right to roll the beads. Do not cross the meru while rolling the beads. Turn back when you come to it.
Try to associate the Japa with the rhythm of the breath.
Sit in the same place and at the same time every day.
Best wishes for your Mantra Siddhi and Jaap Sadhna.
P.S. – Guru is greater than God…..Guru shows you the Marga of God. One must do Jaap Saadhna under the supervision of Guru.
