Guest guest Posted July 16, 2001 Report Posted July 16, 2001 --dear amit, i must admit i spent considerable amount of time on this confusion. apparently, it is also pronounced as gan by some people. logic being similar ti gan -ga (in Ganga). But, for one if you listen to audios of ganesh mantras you will hear gam clearly in GURUJi's pronounciation. i have confirmed that this time i was there, so my advice is do-- Aum gam ganpataye namah.... jai GURUDEV anu Quote
Guest guest Posted July 16, 2001 Report Posted July 16, 2001 AS FAR AS I KNOW THE PRONUNCIATION AS "GAM" MAKES THE MANTRA MANTROCT AND THE PRONUNCIATION AS "GANG" MAKES IT TANTROCT. FOR E.G. THE MANTRA "OM GAM GANAPATAYE NAMAH" IF PRONOUNCED AS "GANG " WILL MAKE IT TANTROCT. AND MANTRAS WHICH ARE BASICALLY TANTROCT BY NATURE ARE PRONOUNCED ALWAYS AS "GANG". FOR E.G. " OM GANG HAQSTI PISHACHI LIKHE SWAHA" WITH LOVE & REGARDS, ANUPAM Amit <amit_enigma > wrote: //jay gurudev//i have a confusion bout the Shri ganesh mantra, a dot above the letter "ga".
