Sarashvati Mantra/ To Sri DDji

[Guest guest]

Salutations Sri DDji,

 

Was not going by Sri Namadeva's book becos I don't own one. Was

going with what i was taught by very first MahaGyanaGuru of a certain

parampara.

 

In any case, "yeh" and "yei" sound the same.. So we were both, after

all, on similar wavelength. Eim and Aim are similar too.

 

Saraswati is also spelt Sarasvati. In this case, the Sanskrit 'v' is

actually pronounced as 'w'.

 

Just like some folks say "Namah", others prefer "Namaha". Each to

their own cup of tea. Most important is what works for each specific

individual. Learning new mantras is like test-driving a car one has

never driven before Uh-oh...... oooops! I don't own a licence

 

You must be right -- must be Mercury!! )))))

 

Om Namah Shivaya
