Frequently Asked Questions

Begin with "Om", or a simple deity mantra like "Om Namah Shivaya" (Shiva) or "Om Gam Ganapataye Namah" (Ganesha). The Gayatri Mantra is also excellent once you are comfortable.
Start with one mala of 108 repetitions a day, or even 11–21 times if that's easier. Consistency matters far more than quantity — a few minutes daily builds a strong practice.
No. You can chant anywhere with a sincere heart. For a fuller practice, sit in a clean quiet place facing east, ideally after a bath, perhaps with a lamp lit — but the mantra itself is what matters.
