The repetition of God's name or of a mantra containing God's name otherwise known as japa is a religious ritual generally meant for the emancipation of the self. The present book on japa yoga has not neglected this aspect. But it is a more comprehensive and a broad range book. That japa is a branch of yoga an easily attainable one and simultaneously a very effective one has been emphasized. The theory and methology of japa in Patanjala Yoga in the Vedas in the Vedanta and in the Tantra in the perspective of knowledge and devotion have clearly been outlined. The book has been divided into three chapters. Chapter 1 expounds the theory of japa based on classical scriptures. Chapter2 presents the practice of japa in a clearly graspable style easy to be followed by the readers. Chapter 3 deals with the applications of japa for the uplift of human personality and spirituality for attaining the liberation of the self for mental peace and tranquility and for physical health inclusive of the prevention and treatment of diseases both physical and mental. The last part of this book tries to explain the effects of japa applications on a scientific footing a successful attempt made for the first time. The approach to japa has been holistic religious spiritual scientific Vedic Vedantic yogic and Tantric. 362 pp.
