Likhita Japa Instructions

We have found that Likhita Japa helps to calm down children.  It calms down the class and improves concentration during the next activity.  The child will first need to be taught the basic shape of ॐ , राम or other Japa words.  Tracing sheets have been provided for this purpose. 

While tracing, it is important that the child follows the correct directions for the pencil strokes and may need closer supervision initially.  Make sure that the child says the word out aloud each time the letter is traced. 

The sheet with multiple ॐ or राम can be used one the child is familiar with the shapes.
