    This holy book describes the psychological and spiritual benefits of chanting, its mechanism of action, the types of chanting, etc. It also emphasises how chanting the Name of the family deity is the supreme spiritual practice if one has not been initiated by a Guru, why one should chant the Name of only one deity instead of several, why one should not chant the Name of saints and should not undertake chanting as recommended by sects, how the Name should be chanted and why a seeker in the primary stage should prefix ‘Shri’ and not ‘Om’ to the deity’s Name. Besides it elaborates on topics such as who should use a japamala (rosary) while chanting, how the Name is superior to meditation, etc. In addition, it discusses practical suggestions such as what one should do to decrease other thoughts during chanting, restrictions to be observed by a seeker and chanting with the breath. It also differentiates between chanting of The Lord’s Name and a mantra and gives details on the meaning of a bijamantra, etc.
