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....!!

 

Hum So,

Om Namah Shivaya

Simone

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
