Re: Chanting mantra throughout the day
Namaste,
I sometimes find myself chanting mantras in my head as well without even realising it. I understand that there should be a proper time to sit down with conscious and focused mantra japa, but surely it is no harm to say the names of God in one's head even as one is going about the day doing work, or walking down to the shops? I actually notice I am in a better, more peaceful mood when I sing a mantra to myself quietly as I do household chores.
TBTL, I notice some of the most mind-adhesive mantra songs are the ones that praise Sri Radha Krishna? I'm serious, weeks and months after I have heard the chants I can still remember the tempo and the melody!
Om namah Shivaya
"Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become your character.
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny."
