Guest guest Posted April 26, 2002 Report Share Posted April 26, 2002 I'm working my way through the Devi Mahatmya and I wondered how to properly pronounce this word. Also is there a good online reference on sanscrit pronounciation? prainbow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 26, 2002 Report Share Posted April 26, 2002 Hi Prainbow: So glad to hear you're reading Devi Mahatmyam; would love to hear your opinions on it when you're through. Asura is pronounced a-SHU-ra. *** Also is there a good online reference on sanscrit pronounciation? *** Here's a really quick and simple one for non scholars: http://www.americansanskrit.com/athome/online01/pronunciation.html You may also find this link useful for understanding much of the Sanskrit terminology that is bandied about here: http://www.himalayanacademy.com/books/dws/DWSLexicon.html Aum Maatangyai Namahe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 26, 2002 Report Share Posted April 26, 2002 Devi Bhakta, Thank you very much. These links are wonderful! Indeed, I am feeling some questions arise as I read. I would like to read all the way through at least once before I post about my reaction to this interesting text. Namaste, prainbow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
