Ung/GuNg, Deity Sound Files & Holy Text wtih GuNg

[Guest guest]

Namaste Friends,

 

In assisting new memebers or new beginners who might find it impossible

to grasp the correct sound of GuNg. Hope this example will help:

 

Say the word "Ung" as in cow "dung". (Don't get me wrong, the cow is

sacred in India. Every part of it is sacred, including its dung which

is dried in villages for use as fuel. There is no disrespect to the

cow.)

 

Add "G" in front of "Ung" and we will get the correct sound for GuNg.

 

For helping with pronunciations for different deities, there are good

sound files created by dear Ketanji. There are also other good

contributions by other wonderful members. These are stored in the Files

Section of this Group. Click on "Files" at the left-hand side and scroll

through the files until you find them.

 

Another place where you can find good different Sound Files is at Neil

Campbell's website (some sound files/mantras not available yet as the

site is still under revamp and full construction Or I can't seem to find

them this time. Last time I looked, there were several sound files for

deities): http://www.shivabeads.co.uk/ <http://www.shivabeads.co.uk/>

 

Japa

 

 

 

Japa by definition is the repeating of a mantra, traditionally performed

on a mala to keep count. For quotes on

the power and blessings of japa by some of the rishis and sages please

click here <http://www.shivabeads.co.uk/japaquotes.htm> . The japa

mantra generally

recommended for use with Rudraksha malas is:

 

Om Namah Shivaya

 

(Pronounced: Ong Na-mah Shi-va-ya)
