Vishnu mantra jap counter. Jai shri hari.

Bhagwan Vishnu's mantra

Om namo bhagavate vasudevaya is chanted by Vaishnavas and Krishna bhaktas alike. Another widely used Vishnu mantra is the eight-syllable om namo narayanaya. Use whichever your family or guru gave you; this counter works for both, one bead per repetition.

When people chant it

• Ekadashi, twice a month, often with a fast.
• Thursdays (Guruvar), Vishnu's day.
• Kartik maas, the month most dear to Vishnu: 27 October to 24 November 2026 in the North Indian calendar.
• Dev Uthani Ekadashi, Friday 20 November 2026, when Vishnu is said to wake from his four-month sleep and Chaturmas ends.

How it is counted

One repetition per bead, 108 per mala. Choose 11, 21, 27 or 54 above for a shorter round.
