Using Mala to recite Ram Naam is a simple and easy method for getting the mind accustomed to chanting Ram Naam. Mala is especially helpful in bringing the attention back on Ram Naam when mind is distracted by the delusion (Maya) that surrounds us. Mala is a vital part of doing Japa, which is the repetition of a Mantra, such as Ram Naam. Mala may assist in watching the breath, which eventually leads to one’s Spiritual Unfoldment. One may say “Rama” with the incoming breath, and again say “Rama” with the outgoing breath. This Japa of “Ram Naam”, while watching the flow of incoming and outgoing breath, has the power to help us Realize the Truth of our Soul’s Oneness with God.
