Devotees can have the company of God in numerous ways. They can go to a temple or holy place and meditate; they can read the holy scriptures and contemplate God, or they can sing devotional songs and worship with incense, flowers, and other rituals. In the Indian spiritual tradition, another way to have the company of God is through mantra yoga, the repetition of His holy name.
