To Linda on pronunciation

[Guest guest]

namaste linda,

actually my reply was to someone's elses post not yours ~ i thought ~

the confusion arises because even Karunamayi's various booklets are

not consistent ~

for instant the first word is spelled "tryambakam" on one of Her

booklets but actually She sings it as "trayambakam" very clearly ~ as

is written on Her website( http://www.karunamayi.org/karuna2j.htm ) ~

this was the main reason for my reply ~

going to Karunamayi's website I though would clear it up

 

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.

 

May Amma Bless All of Us,

amarnath
