Frequently asked questions
How many times should a mantra be chanted?+
Tradition counts in malas of 108. One mala a day with a calm mind is a good start; a full anushthan for a graha mantra runs to several thousand recitations over weeks.
Is my count saved?+
Yes, in this browser. Today's count for each mantra and any vow you take stay on this device and are never sent to our servers.
Which mantra should I chant?+
Any mantra you feel drawn to. For a particular planet, its beej mantra on its weekday is the traditional choice — the Remedies page lists them by planet.
