Mantra chanting FAQ

Why are mantras chanted 108 times?

A japa mala has 108 beads, and 108 is a sacred number in Vedic tradition. In Jyotish it is the 27 Nakshatras multiplied by their 4 padas, and also the 12 rashis multiplied by the 9 grahas. One full mala of 108 chants is one round.

Is this mantra counter free?

Yes. The AstroVaani Mantra Counter is completely free and works in your browser on mobile and desktop. You do not need an account.

Can I count my own mantra?

Yes. Choose Custom Mantra and type any mantra, prayer or name, such as Om Gam Ganapataye Namah or Radhe Radhe, then count it like any other.

Is my chanting history saved?

Your count, rounds and recent sessions are saved in your browser on this device, so they are still there when you come back. They are not sent to our servers.

Can I use the counter without looking at the screen?

Yes. Turn on vibration to feel each tap on mobile, and keep the bell on to hear when a round is complete. On a computer, press the spacebar to count.

Which mantra should I chant for my birth chart?

The right mantra depends on your Kundli, especially your Moon sign, Nakshatra and current Dasha. Ask AstroVaani, the AI Vedic astrologer, and it will suggest mantras based on your own chart.
