mantras

[Guest guest]

-Namaste- I am new to this list so I may not have seen all the

replies re these mantras. Here is my, by no means expert, guess:

Lakshmibhyo=Lakshmibhyah, the plural dative (4th case) ending. There

are 8 forms of Lakshmi, so maybe that is why the plural.

Re the bija mantras-I am aware of many Mother mantras that begin

with HRIM, but not a one that contains RIM. My guess is that your

mantra is HRIM, SHRIM or, if you like ITRANS hree.m shree.m

Re Bhur Bhuvah suvar om: There seem to be 2 ways- svah and suvah.

It might be a regional difference or it might be a difference

depending on lineage. In the Taittiriya Upanishad it says suvah. I

was iniatiated into Gayatri with svah. Maybe someone else on the list

knows more than this. Anyhow, I hope this is helpful to you.

Jaya Ma, Gitaprana
