Ajappa Jap (or Ajapa Japa) is a yogic term referring to a continuous, automatic repetition of a mantra or a spiritual sound within oneself without conscious effort. The term “Ajapa” means “that which is not recited,” and “Japa” means “repetition of a mantra.” Thus, Ajapa Japa can be understood as the spontaneous and effortless repetition of a mantra that goes on naturally within the mind.
