Shring or Shrim (fwd)

Jai Maa!

I was under the impression that anusvara, with which

biijaakSaras end, is pronounced differently depending

on what letter follows, even if in a new word.

Anusvara followed by "k", "kh", "g", or "gh" would be

pronounced "ng". So "kriiM" would sound like "kriing"

if followed by "kaalii", but would sound like "kriiM"

if standing alone or followed by a word like "maataa".

Of course, even in the case of "kriiM" standing

alone, it is ambiguous by this rule in the case of

repeating the biikaakSara over and over.

 

And it also goes without saying that the Guru's

instructions trump all rules of saMskRt !

 

Jai Maa!

Dear Devotee

 

I remember my Guru mentioning that even the ending

should be clear.When one says "shrEm" or "aIm",

the lips should touch when one says the "m" sound.( so

it is shrEm.)

 

('m' becoming 'ng' might happen when we do the

bheeja manthra japa even a little faster.)
