MANTRA MISTAKES

[Guest guest]

I agree with Nikhil too. I would find it difficult even to pronounce my own

Nepalese language (Devnagari script) if writtent in english, let alone

Sanskrit. I am sorry about that but non-Devnagari readers need to find a way

out. I don't think it is possible to figure out a correct pronounciation if

written in english. You can do it all right with, for example: Om namah

Shivaya, beacuse many have heard and over heard of this popular mantra.

Should the mantra be unknown and the sanskrit word be long or

interconnected, the probability of mis-pronounciation is significantly high.
