Question: Mota, Is there any special advantage of doing Naam-Smaran vocally?
Pujya Shree Mota: Yes, by doing Naam-Smaran vocally, the stream of thoughts stops. There are lots of thoughts interfering while doing mental Naam-Smaran. In spite of that, we should create the habit of doing mental Naam-Smaran after doing vocal Naam-Smaran. We need to pay attention to the Bhava of the Dhyana or the Naam-Smaran and try awaken the Bhavna (love) for its place of origin, the consciousness. When Japa is done vocally, it creates the vibrations that touches the various centers of our body and mind.
