A quiet japa walk, bare feet on soft earth, simple beads in hand, God’s names on the tongue. Gopala, Govinda, Rama, Madana Mohana. Join this gentle practice in a small country cemetery, with care and respect, as we chant and breathe and let the body settle.
This is a tiny ritual for everyday life. One mantra per bead, steady steps, relaxed heart. Earthing helps, so shoes off where it’s safe and appropriate. Leather conducts, plastic blocks it. Move slowly. Listen to the birds. Let the mind rest in the Holy Names.
This offering is part of our Juicy MagiK global pilgrimage, arriving near Easter with gratitude and a prayer for peace in every home and every street. If you’re new to japa, you’re welcome here. Chant along, sit in silence, or walk with us in spirit.
