Premanand Maharaj Ji
How does naam jap help me control my mind and senses?
Naam jap steadies breath, mind and brahmacharya
Breath, mind and brahmacharya (disciplined, pure living) are linked, and naam jap (chanting Bhagwan's name) sets all three right. When the name runs with every breath, the breath becomes even by itself.
Breath, mind and brahmacharya are all completely connected. If the breath is calm, the mind is calm and brahmacharya is sound.
