Gum or Gung

[Guest guest]

Hi MrAndrew

 

Wil be good for you to stick to one , either GUm or Gung.

Both are valid but have seperate purpose.

Sorry I cannot clarify more on this but both are fine.

 

Regards

I've read some of the posts on how to pronounce "gum" in the Om Gum

Ganapatayei Namaha mantra. Thomas Ashley Farrand's teacher is Sadguru

Sant Keshavadas. In this video recording of Sadguru Sant Keshavadas,

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8842187231363789849&q=keshavadas&pr=goog-sl

around 4-5 mins into the video, the mantra is recited. An number of

other mantras can be found here.

 

Sadguru Sant Keshavadas very clearly and distinctly pronounced gum/gam

as chewing gum gum and is also responsible for imparting the long form

of the Gayetri to Mr. Farrand while most people do the short form,

including the one by Rudraksha Centre.

 

In the last 2-3 months, for some reason, I have been reading and

finding voice control materials. Then around 2 weeks ago, I started on

a 40 day discipline on 2 mantras, one of them being a Ganesha mantra,

minimum 108 on each. At first, 108 sounded like a lot but isn't in

practice but I figured better to promised only 108 and over deliver

. The two of them look pretty ok so I don't think gum as chewing gum

will bring about chaos to oneself.

 

Then about late last week, I got an itch to look up on Rudrakshas and

just got 3 of yesterday, one of them being an 8 mukhi.

 

The Rudraksha centre mantra recordings pronunciation of gum is gung.

Interestingly enough, as I was working on the ganesha mantra, I

initially pronounced gum as goo-om for sustain periods before catching

myself and somewhat setting myself straight on gum following Mr.

Farrand. Goo-om being some close to gung, I decided to dowse about it

 

Did different protocols for this dowsing test, using a mudra for

resonance, I found that I resonated more to Gung rather than gum. I

got yes or strengthening for Gung and neutral (NOT weakening/negative)

for Gum. Then I held the 8 mukhi bead and tested while I listened to

Mr. Farrand and to the Rudraksha centre recording. Same result. Again

important to emphasise, with Mr. Farrand, it was not a NEGATIVE

response/signal given, just neutral.

 

I will test again sometime later on, cos things may change. So for the

next week or so, it will be gung gung gung for me. (Though Long form

of the Gayetri resonates better to me than the short one.)

 

Thought this might be helpful.

If you listen clearly to the mantra Om Gum Ganapatayei Namaha in the video recording by Sadguru Sant Keshavadas,

The Ganapathi bija is pronounced as 'GuMmmmm....., Where it is nazalised, it is not Gum as in 'chewing gum,' but more gum to rhyme with the English word 'Numb'

When the Ganapathi bija is pronounced this way with the correct anusvara termination, I feel it is certainly more powerful than Gum as in 'chewing gum,' and probably more powerful than pronouncing this bija as 'Gung' to rhyme with the English word 'sung!'

 

This Ganapathi bija as 'Gung' to rhyme with the English word 'sung' stimulates the 3rd eye and Crown Chakras, whereas The Ganapathi Bija pronounced 'GuMmmm' to rhyme with the English word 'Numb' stimulates the Heart,3rd eye, and Crown chakras, adding even more power to the results from this mantra!

 

Namaste,
