Naam Jaap, or chanting of the holy name of the god, is a mantra or a phrase. Pujya Premanand Ji Maharaj of Vrindavan is often seen emphasising the importance of Naam Jaap in his Ekantik Vartalaap sessions. He often urges people to start chanting the holy name to seek liberation and attain the mercy of the Lord. However, most people might have wondered why Maharaj Ji emphasises so much on the practice of chanting the holy name. What could be the possible additional benefits of doing Naam Jaap, and how much Naam Jaap should be done to realise their wishes?
In one of his Ekantik Vartalaap sessions, Premanand Maharaj Ji shared the possible merits of doing Naam Jaap — 10 Million times to 130 Million times. We have enumerated the insights from the session below:
10 Million To 130 Million, How Much Naam Jaap Or Chanting Can Help Fulfil Your Desires: Insights By Premanand Maharaj Ji
10 Million Chants: Chanting the holy name 10 million times cleanses the body and kills passion and ignorance. Pure goodness state is there, and one performs ongoing remembrance and worship of God. Seeds of sin are killed, and endurance power to tolerate diseases is achieved. Godly emotions erupt, and one meets great deities, sages and saints in dreams.
20 Million Chants: After chanting 20 million times, the need for money goes away, and the desire for riches fades. You find that what you have is enough, and worries about wealth disappear. Your life feels happier and more peaceful. Good things start to come your way and it feels like prosperity is drawn to you.
30 Million Chants: After doing the Naam Jaap 30 million times, the heart is purified and one attains mastery over lust and anger. Whatever one wills happens, and the seeker becomes dear to the world. The world reveres them with regard, and they are imbued with spiritual energy.
40 Million Chants: After chanting 40 million times, a sense of peace sets in. The ups and downs of life no longer weigh on the heart. You feel a deep purity within and challenges just can’t reach you. You find yourself, and it's a joyous experience as you connect with your true self.
50 Million Chants: After 50 million Naam Jaap, intelligence gets awakened and wisdom realises itself through words. Worldly wishes are granted and one becomes an excellent scholar and scripture knower. Enemies are subdued and wishes are easily granted.

60 Million Chants: After doing 60 million Naam Jaap, you overcome your inner struggles and achieve self-awareness. You may even experience divine visions and find healing for tough illnesses. Those who are spiritually advanced use their abilities to connect with a higher power, rather than just to stay safe.
70 Million Chants: At 70 million Naam Jaap count, utmost purity is awakened and sensual charm cannot find entry into consciousness. Adversity or good fortune cannot divert from the name of God. The seeker becomes submersed in the nectar of the divine name.
80 Million Chants: Once you reach 80 million Naam Jaap count, the fear of death fades away. You start to really know yourself and move beyond the physical world, becoming a true saint who is deeply rooted in their true self.
90 Million Chants: After 90 million chants, the ruling deity of the name appears directly. The seeker realises a physical vision of God, becomes a spokesperson of divine truthand what they say becomes reality. Whatever they say materialises.
100 Million Chants: Once you've chanted 100 million times, all your past karma is cleared, and you can handle any future karma without pain. You'll feel a strong presence of the divine in your heart, and you'll find a deep sense of self-realisation, joy and freedom.
110 Million Chants: After 110 million Naam Jaap, the idea of gain holds no significance. The seeker automatically achieves devotion, knowledge, yogic perfections and spiritual faculties. They become a giver, enjoying divine pastimes and watching divine leelas.
120 Million Chants: God gets tied to the name-chanter after 120 million chants and follows them wherever they go.
130 Million Chants: The seeker becomes liberated and possesses divine power to liberate others with 130 million chants. Even the most immoral creatures can be liberated by their grace.
End Note
Shri Premanand Ji Maharaj shares that Naam-jap is the highest spiritual discipline which can provide for any want. Everything lies within the divine name - fortune, life partner, offspring and more. Yet, results are not attained through just lightly uttering a few malas. Determined, routine practice has to be cultivated.
One great example is Rishi Kardam, who chanted the Lord's name for ten thousand years before receiving a kind wife, Devi Devahuti. Their marriage resulted in the birth of Lord Kapildev. This shows how important it is to stay dedicated and keep practising your beliefs to achieve what you want.
