Mantra Japa Experiences

Ive been doing Manasik Japa / Ajapa Japa of a particular deity for about 2 years now, we don’t have much temples of that deity around, so I rarely get a chance to visit their temple, recently I’ve started to notice that if I hear someone playing bhajans or that deity on speaker or phone, or even singing , tears start to roll out from my eyes, I visited one of that deity’s temple a few months back and had the same experience, I was about to cry but I controlled myself as I thought it would be very awkward and I didn’t know what was happening. Those of you who have experience with this please explain. Thank you.
