Dear Sri Sivanandam,

Welcome!

The normal practice, as far as I know,  for Nama japa is actually done 11 
times, 33 times and so on.   But in a real union with God (Yoga) what I 
feel and do is not counting the namas.  I think nothing should come in 
between us (atman) and namas of Lord.  We should be so passionate that we 
should not keep anything obstructive or slightly misleading when we do nama 
japa.  Mind is the one which is advantageous and disadvantageous in this 
aspect and therefore I will not count nama japa though earlier I used to 
do.

It is just the degree/amount of bhakti is what is required ultimately. 
 Pardon me if I am wrong.

regards
sukumar
