How can I begin?
Naam is remembrance of a divine name. Formal mantra practice may have rules specific to a lineage. Keep your breathing natural; you do not need to hold your breath, force concentration or finish a fixed count.
Choose a clean, comfortable place. Read the meaning and learn the words slowly. For general remembrance, there is no count, mala or fixed time imposed here. Learn formal vows within your own tradition.
