A reference for what you chant and read.

JaapDaily lets you count naam and mantras, and read the full text of chalisas and aartis — this section explains what they mean. Each page is written in plain language, sourced carefully, and kept honest about what's settled tradition and what varies by region or lineage. New to counting altogether? Start with what a mala is.

Most mantras, aartis, and chalisas on this site link back to the deity they're addressed to. Here's the same library from that direction — pick a deity to see their page, then everything else here written about them.
