Ajapa Naam yoga (incessant prayer)
Prayer is a multi tier phenomena. It may be for material gain (personal or social), for spiritual gain or selfless (out of love alone). It may mean expression of ones desires in language. It may mean repetition of God’s name only.

When prayer means repetition of God’s name (NAAM) it needs a medium –
- Loud Chanting (BAIKHARI) – needs musical tune, rhythm, vocal participation in group or solo. However, this prayer is limited to a short period.
- Whisper Chanting (MADHYAMA) – needs rosary beads or finger counting as medium. This method also has limitations such as defined period, engaged hands etc.
- Silent Chanting (PASHYANTI) – needs the support of one’s breathing as the required medium. This kind of prayer has fewer shortcomings.

How can devotees be blessed with AJAPA JAPA or (Sadhana)
The spiritual power could only be infused into another person by a spiritual preceptor (GURU) if
- He has stored within himself the required spiritual power, like a battery, to be able to transmit direct power and is authorized by the divine power to transmit it to others.
- He has become transparent enough to act as a medium (like a low resistant Copper wire) to be able to transmit power from the perennial source. Here the word “transparent” means lowered ego of the “medium – Guru” who has surrendered himself to the will of the supreme preceptor, (the divine commandant - SADGURU). Power supply of the first is limited but the power of the second is un-ending (comparable to a pond & a snow fed river respectively).
When the KUNDALINI-SHAKTI is awakened and the power impregnated recipent starts its incessant prayer (AJAPA-JAPA) it lasts till the last breath.
