GETTING STARTED

How to use Japa Mala

Start your digital Japa practice in just a few simple steps.

01

Open Japa Mala

Launch the Japa Mala app on your Android device. The main counting screen will be ready for your Japa session.

02

Prepare for your mantra

Sit comfortably and prepare yourself for Japa. The app is only the counting companion — your attention should remain on the mantra.

03

Tap once for each repetition

Recite your mantra and tap the main counting area once after every repetition.

04

Follow your bead count

The displayed count represents your progress through the current 108-bead round.

05

Complete 108 repetitions

When the count reaches 108, one complete Japa round is finished.

06

Continue your rounds

The completed-round counter helps you keep track of your continued daily practice.

A simple practice tip

Avoid watching the counter after every repetition. Recite your mantra naturally, tap once and allow the app to manage the counting in the background.

CONTROLS

Resetting the counter

If you need to begin again, use the Reset option to clear the current bead count. Use this carefully so an active session is not reset accidentally.
