Naam jap counter
Tap the circle once for every name. The counter keeps your malas of 108 and today's total on your own device. No app, no account, and nothing is sent anywhere.
Tip: on a computer, the space bar or Enter also counts. Your count stays on this device only.
The last seven days
Steadiness matters more than a big number on one day. A small count kept every day is the practice.
Counting without fuss
Start small
One mala of 108 a day, kept every day, is a better start than sixteen malas once. Raise it only when the smaller number has become ordinary. See the first month of naam jap.
The count is a support
Premanand Ji Maharaj teaches that the name needs no seat, no hour and no special place. A number helps you keep a commitment; it is not the practice itself. Read why he says Radha Radha.
A mala works with the screen off
On a bus or in bed, a physical mala is easier than a phone. Learn how to use a japa mala, and use this counter when you are at a desk.
What people ask about counting japa
Short answers about the counter and about counting the name at all.
Is this naam jap counter free?
Yes. No app, no account, no email address. It runs entirely in your browser.
Is my count saved?
Yes, on your own phone or computer only. Nothing is sent to this site or anywhere else. Clearing your browser data, or using a private window, clears the count.
How many names are in one mala?
A japa mala has 108 beads, so one mala is 108 names. The counter marks each completed round of 108.
Does the day reset by itself?
Yes. Today's total starts again at midnight on your device, and the last seven days are kept so you can see whether the practice is steady.
Do I have to count at all?
No. Counting helps many beginners keep a daily commitment, but the name does not need a number. Continuity matters more than the total.
Which name should I take?
Premanand Ji Maharaj teaches the Radha naam, and says any name of God taken with love is complete. Use the one you already take.
Can I use it with the screen off?
No; the page needs to be open. Many people keep a physical mala for that reason. Read how to use a japa mala on the blog.
