Guest guest Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Namaste Bikramjit, So Hum "Mum" is like "Mamritat"...... Please listen to Mahamrityunjaya Mantra and you'll get the gist ) "Mum" is like 'school marm', without pronouncing the 'r' in 'marm'. Aham ...... Not 'ham' as in hamburger )))) "Marm" is not from Devanagri script. It is just another phonetic demo. "Gum" is not like 'chewing gum' sound. Its GuNg to be precise. The actual sound 'gum' as in chewing gum, means 'grief'. Best way of Mantra Yoga is to pronounce silently -- this is actually the most powerful too, according to some ascetics. In Sanskrit, there are things called "Ascent" and "Accent". These two are separate and different. Not to be confused )))) Golly molly, now I'm running loop rings around my already rattly loose marbles in my stoooopid fooolish head......cackles....!!

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Namaste all, If I may I thought I'd chuck in my two cents worth. If the devangari script is present or more easily if a transliteration is present it is relatively easy to follow pronouciation rules concerning this matter. When in a transliteration a bindu is present underneath an 'm', then as I understand it, it is pronounced "ng" (as in gung). This is I believe is called anunasika and if being chanted aloud should be done so with the tongue curling back and the mouth slightly open. When pronounced with the mouth closed it is known as anusvara and is pronounced more as an "m" (as in gum), rather than a "ng". The different ways effect the resonance of mantras within the head. But the way to tell if something should be pronounced anunasika or anusvara is by looking for a bindu. Hope this is of some worth : ) Om Shanti Neil AumShiningLotus [AumShiningLotus] 27 January 2005 18:17 Re: RBSC : Mum/ To Bikramjit Dear Sy ji found out what problem is ..........is simple.........I learned from different school than you did.........both Gum and is chewing gun and Gung are correct in their particular context Point is some mantras are pronounced differently from Tibet to Southern India Thanks for working with this DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
