Guest guest Posted July 16, 2001 Report Share Posted July 16, 2001 --dear amit, i must admit i spent considerable amount of time on this confusion. apparently, it is also pronounced as gan by some people. logic being similar ti gan -ga (in Ganga). But, for one if you listen to audios of ganesh mantras you will hear gam clearly in GURUJi's pronounciation. i have confirmed that this time i was there, so my advice is do-- Aum gam ganpataye namah.... jai GURUDEV anu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 16, 2001 Report Share Posted July 16, 2001 AS FAR AS I KNOW THE PRONUNCIATION AS "GAM" MAKES THE MANTRA MANTROCT AND THE PRONUNCIATION AS "GANG" MAKES IT TANTROCT. FOR E.G. THE MANTRA "OM GAM GANAPATAYE NAMAH" IF PRONOUNCED AS "GANG " WILL MAKE IT TANTROCT. AND MANTRAS WHICH ARE BASICALLY TANTROCT BY NATURE ARE PRONOUNCED ALWAYS AS "GANG". FOR E.G. " OM GANG HAQSTI PISHACHI LIKHE SWAHA" WITH LOVE & REGARDS, ANUPAM Amit <amit_enigma > wrote: //jay gurudev//i have a confusion bout the Shri ganesh mantra, a dot above the letter "ga".
