Why Japa

Japa (Sanskrit: जप) is a spiritual discipline involving the meditative repetition of a mantra or name of God. . The practice of repetitive prayer is present in varied forms within most religions in the world .The gravity of the events in Japan call out for us to unite in voice and spirit to help in whatever way we can to heal this stoic nation’s plight. Our evening of devotional music will create a droplet of healing in the great ocean of outpouring that will help Japan to restore itself.
