How to do Japa Meditation
Each strand of japa beads contains 108 small beads and one large bead, the head bead or the Gauranga Krishna
bead. Begin on a bead next to the head bead and gently roll it between the thumb and middle finger of your right
hand as you chant a full mantra. Then move to the next bead and repeat the process. In this way, chant on each
of the 108 beads until you reach the head bead again. This is one round of japa. Then, without chanting on the
head bead, reverse the bead string and start your second round on the last bead you chanted on.
