Maa Durga's naam
Navratri, twice a year, is the traditional time for Devi jap, and many people keep a mala every day of the nine nights. Om dum durgayai namah is a widely used short mantra; jai mata di is the jaikara heard at every Devi mandir.
How it is counted

Questions
When is Durga jap traditionally done?
Especially during Chaitra and Sharad Navratri, and on Fridays and Ashtami.
Is there an app?
Japoji is the app version, with one difference: it puts the naam in front of Instagram and YouTube, so you take 11 naam before you scroll. Android first, iPhone soon. Join the waitlist.
