Japa (Sanskrit: जप) is a spiritual discipline involving the meditative repetition of a mantra or name of a divine power. The mantra or name may be spoken softly, enough for the practitioner to hear it, or it may be spoken within the reciter's mind. Japa may be performed while sitting in a meditation posture, while performing other activities, or as part of formal worship in group settings. The practice of repetitive prayer is present in varied forms within most religions in the world, although the religions of India generally give more emphasis to it as a specific discipline.
The Sanskrit word japa is derived from the root jap-, meaning "to utter in a low voice, repeat internally, mutter".
Many Hindus will recite mantras, either under their breath or in mental introspection, at any time of the day. This sort of casual chanting is said to be a way of inspiring reflection on either the self or divine power, thereby attaining a life which, though interrupted by daily chores and concerns, is a constant flow of prayer. Frequent mental repetition of a mantra (or "mantram") was also recommended by Eknath Easwaran, as the second point in the Passage Meditation program that he developed.

Hitparade zu kommen!
Kirchweih is' in unserm Dorf, ich geh' ins Bierzelt 'nei.
Die Rosi drü'm am Bierausschank, die schenkt mir glei aans ei'.
Zwa, drei Stunden später bin ich so richtig breit.
Ich hab' scho' elf Strück trunk'ng - und zwa scho wieder g'speit.
Der Freedi aus'm Nachbardorf langt meiner Rosi an die Titten.
Ich schrei "Finger wech, die Fraa g'hört mir! Was sind denn des für Sitten?"
Endlich gibt's an g'scheiten Streit, mir lassen's richtig krach'ng.
Mir regeln des jetzt wie sich's g'hört - wie's Männer halt so mach'ng:
Und ich sag:
Hose runter - Schwanzvergleich, die Stimmung kocht gleich über
Wir packen uns're Rohre aus und messen das Kaliber
Hose runter - Schwanzvergleich, so macht mer des als Mann.
Mit Wortverdreh'n und diskutier'n fang ich erst gar net an!
Am nächsten Tag am Arbeitsplatz - der Schädel brummt wie Sau.
Ich kann noch gar net g'radaus schau'n - mei war ich gestern blau!
Der Chef bestellt mich ins Büro und brüllt mich auch gleich an:
Er sagt, daß ich ein Saufkopf bin und sonst nix anders kann.
Er meint, daß er was Besser's wär, da platzt mir doch der Krag'ng,
Nur weil er viel mehr Kohle hat, geb' ich mich net geschlag'ng:
Ich sag' nur:
Hose runter - Schwanzvergleich, die Stimmung kocht gleich über
Wir packen uns're Rohre aus und messen das Kaliber
Hose runter - Schwanzvergleich, so macht mer des als Mann.
Mit Wortverdreh'n und diskutier'n fang ich erst gar net an!
Ich scheiß' auf Intellenz und Abitur, ich brauch' keinen IQ,
Denn wenn ich rufe "Schwanzvergleich", dann hör'n mir alle zu!
Und ich sag':
Hose runter - Schwanzvergleich, die Stimmung kocht gleich über
Wir packen uns're Rohre aus und messen das Kaliber
Hose runter - Schwanzvergleich, zum Glück bin ich ein Mann.
Weil 'ne Frau bei jedem Schwanzvergleich nur den Kürzer'n ziehen kann
