As a kid, I used to wonder why my Grandma would wake up in the morning and chant mantras. She would do this without fail and also use her beads for doing a chanting "Japa". After doing the same I now realize the power of chanting and the positive way the vibrations of the mantras affect a person.
Everyone has desires of material things which are endless. You can never fully be satisfied with getting something. If you are able to buy a new car you would want a bigger one. This goes on forever and is the main cause of stress in life. This creates the hole in the soul which is really not easy to get rid of.

The Crowd is a Myth
People living in cities are surrounded by a crowd always. But the crowd is a myth, and every person is quite alone in the modern world. Most of the people trade health for the career. This leads to an empty space which is filled up with intoxicants like tobacco, drugs, and alcohol. All this leads to more loneliness and empty feeling.
So what is wrong? Well, nothing is wrong in the way of doing things but the way of thinking. Getting material things cannot fill the emptiness in life. Chanting or Japa Yoga lets you realize and start the spiritual journey which fills this hole. Japa Yoga is an integral part of yoga teacher training at authentic yoga centers. They teach you the way to chant and the benefits you will see for yourself.

Kirtan the Way to Start the Chanting
Chanting alone can be challenging, and hence you should start in a group chant which is called Kirtan. The group chant not only purifies your mind but also the environment around. It awakens the energy inside you and fills the emptiness. The intensity of the Kirtan can really help you. This I have felt while going to Dwarka the kingdom of Krishna in Gujarat, India. I was not a person believing in god, but the power of Kirtan (group chant and singing) pulled me and I was dancing the whole way on the boat. The surge of energy that I felt was really something out of the world. That is the power of group chanting.
Chanting is Positive Vibration
The whole world runs on vibrations. It is the key to all things happening around us. Chanting puts the vibrations in a flow where you are able to find your true self. Whenever confused just try chanting and you will be presented with many solutions from within. So, taking up individual chanting (Japa Yoga) or community chanting (Kirtan) helps you meditate with the help of sound. It is all about practicing it diligently and you will see the difference in your life.
