In some forms of ''japa'', the repetitions are counted using a string of beads known as a [[japa mala]]. Many different types of materials are used for japa. The number of beads in the japa mala is generally [[number 108|108]]. It is not uncommon for people to wear japa beads around their neck, although some practitioners prefer to carry them in a bead-bag in order to keep them clean. | In some forms of ''japa'', the repetitions are counted using a string of beads known as a [[japa mala]].
