OM trayambakam yajAmahe sugandhim pushti vardhanam

Dear Amarnath ~ I have heard Karunamyi's beautiful pronunciation via a tape

where she sings this mantra over and over, and indeed, she does say Bandhanat.

The version I posted was from Swami Satyananda Saraswati at the Devi Mandir

in Californial. But I agree totally with you ~ it is the intent and not the

pronunciation. As we can see, even people who are very learned in Sanskrit may

pronounce the same words differently. Jai Ma ~ Linda

I learned this chant from both Karunamayi and from Shree Maa.

So, sometimes I sing "bandhanAt" and sometimes "bandhanAn" ~ I

don't try to control it ~ it just come out one way or the other ~

perhaps it was not clear that either option is OK ~

as are many of the other options I found on the web

 

I am not a perfectionist( I hope ) nor an expert in this ~

just trying to help by giving a clear cut reference

 

Sorry if I added to the confusion ~

So, let's not worry and chant as best we can for Snehalata's Highest

Good...

 

 

 

Dear Amarnath ~ I do the same thing, sometimes with the t and sometimes with

the n; it comes as it will. And yes, let us chant as best we ca for

Snehalata. Blessings ~ Linda
