    how to chant navkar mantra on hands 108 times

    3 weeks ago 3

    Answer

    Yes. A simple way to chant the Navkar Mantra 108 times on your hands is to count on the 12 finger segments of one hand and repeat that cycle 9 times.

    How to Count

    • Sit quietly in a clean place.
    • Keep your mind calm and focused.
    • Use one hand to count.
    • Count one mantra for each finger segment:
    - Index finger: 3 - Middle finger: 3 - Ring finger: 3 - Little finger: 3
    • That gives you 12 counts.
    • Repeat this 9 times.

    So:

    • 12 × 9 = 108

    Simple Practice Method

    1. Recite one Navkar Mantra.
    2. Move to the next finger segment.
    3. Continue until you complete 12.
    4. Start again from the beginning.
    5. Do this 9 full rounds.

    Spiritual Understanding

    The main purpose is not only counting, but keeping the mind centered on the sacred Namaskar to the Five Supreme Beings. While chanting:
    • stay peaceful,
    • avoid rushing,
    • and recite with श्रद्धा and attention.

    If you want, you may also use a 108-bead mala, which is another common way of counting.

    Takeaway

    The easiest hand-counting method is: 12 finger segments × 9 rounds = 108. Chant slowly, with devotion, and keep your awareness on the meaning of the mantra.
