Radha naam jap
In Vrindavan and across Braj, radhe radhe is how people greet each other, and taking Radha naam is at the heart of daily bhakti for many devotees of Radha Krishna. The jap is simple: one bead for each radhe.
When people take Radha naam
- Daily, often at dawn or at sandhya.
- On Radha Ashtami and Janmashtami, and through Kartik maas.
- While walking, travelling or before sleep, in the mind.
Counting
Tap once for each naam. Choose 108 for a full mala, or 11, 21, 27 or 54 for shorter rounds.

Questions
Can I count 'radhe radhe' as one or two?
Count it the way you say it. Many people count one bead for each 'radhe radhe' pair; follow your own practice or your guru's.
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.
