Japa is a mantram specifically restricted in meaning to a name of God. Like all mantrams, it is constantly repeated. It is not only one way of prayerful remembrance of God but also a simple easy method of overcoming the mind's tendency to wander about and to bring it into concentration. It can also be assisted by harmonizing its syllables with the incoming and outgoing breaths.
