After how many Purascharanas can I realise God?
A. It is not the number of Japa, but purity, concentration, Bhava or feeling and one pointedness of mind that help the aspirant in the attainment of God consciousness. You should not do the Japa in a hurried manner, as a contractor tries to finish off work in a hurried way. You must do it with Bhava. purity, one pointedness of mind and single minded devotion.
