  1. Alternative to Naam Japa

    VELLY posted a topic in Hindu Discussion

    I used to do Naam Japa in the past recently this practice has become unacceptable to my mind. I can't find it logical. Though I have experienced it's mind purifying benefits yet it doesn't satisfy my logical mind. Is there any way I can do something other than Naam japa for mind purification. Let's say I take a word kindness and recite it every day with bhava and feelings. Won't it generate the same benefits as doing Naam japa. Will doing Naam japa provide any additional benefits than this self invented exercise of reciting the name of a quality?I understand that one-pointedness is the main goal of mantra or Naam japa but I want to achieve this without using any name of God. It would be great if you include reference to any guru who has touched this topic.
