naam simran and naam jaapna

what is the difference?

well firstly in answering your question, it doesnot matter what or how you start or what you say during meditation aslong as it is relivent to god. be it a mantra, or just waheguru. as your spirituality develops you will relize how the knowledge is all placed together.

when we are doing simran we are contemplating inwardly with breath.

when we do jaap we are repeating the name of god outwardly vibrating upon the name of god etc.

know the difference :)

it is not disrespectful or bad to meditate on a mantra dont worry, fateh.
