Counting naam jap
A mala of 108
Naam jap (repeating a divine name) is often counted on a mala of 108 beads, with a larger bead where the string is tied. One pass of the mala is one round; quarter and half malas of 27 and 54 are also used.
Rounds in a day
Some keep a daily number of rounds. Initiated ISKCON devotees, for example, undertake sixteen rounds of the Hare Krishna mantra a day: 1,728 recitations.
Simran
In Sikh practice, Waheguru is repeated aloud, under the breath or silently with the breath. A mala is not required and is not the usual Sikh practice, so the count here is only a frame for the remembrance.
Counts and forms belong to each tradition and teacher. Follow the practice you were given; this counter only keeps the number.
Print it
The printable mala tracker is a ring of 108 beads to tick by hand, with a 27-bead quarter version, as a free PDF.
