What are the japa mantras
Any specific japa mala/asana preferred which is used for this roopa
Any thing to keep in mind(specific niyamas).
Type of mindset preferred.
Any other things I should know.
Since last few days have observed a single mosquito disturbing me during japa.
Have tried closing all doors and windows and also tried repellent. It won't stop it form coming.
It also has its own peculiarity of only sitting on my right elbow or on right feet. It won't bite(no bite marks) but will keep on moving so that I get irritated.
And other weird thing is it will come only when I start my 3rd mala.
Maybe I should start doing some kavacha to shield me from distractions (joking)
Wanted to discuss about reasons for the niyama where we do no use multiple mantras on a single japa mala.
How did this rule came into existnce and what exceptions to this niyama are followed across different sampryadas.
Edit: Please put your thoughts here.
