Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Hello, I understand that the Tantric Lakshimi Bija or beej mantra SHRING can be pronounced as spelled :- SH as in shine. Ring as in ring...shring...shring...shring... Does this mean that the Vedic Lakshimi Bija or beej mantra SHRIM can be pronounced as spelled :- SH as in shine. RiM as in "The Rim of a wheel" or must it be the usual "SHREEM?" Namaste, Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 || Jai Sadguru Dutta || "SHRIM" should be pronounced only as "SHREEM". Some people pronounce it as "SHREENG" for which, there is no authentic evidence/support of any scriptures. Similarly, "kleeng" is wrong; it is "kleem" etc. Beeja mantras are very unique in nature and even the slightest change leads to an altogether meaning/result. In the Yajurveda, due to the nature of the Yajus mantras and the "viBhakthi-prathyaya", the syllable "gam" is added to the "anuswaara". For example, "gaNapathim" in Rgveda becomes "gaNapathigam" in Yajurveda. This rule holds good only for vedic mantras, each of which are characterised by: 1. swara (udaattha, anudaattha, swaritha, dheerGha-swaritha) 2. maathraa 3. kaala and, 4. chandas || gaayathreem vandhE vEdha maatharam || , "farmerfarrar02" <peterfarrar02@h...> wrote: > Hello, > > I understand that the Tantric Lakshimi Bija or beej mantra SHRING > can be pronounced as spelled :- SH as in shine.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Lakshmi Beej Mantra Dear Friend, I saw your message and the reply given to the same on this group. It is always recommended that the mantra is received from the mouth/in the voice of the Sada Guru Dev. The website www.siddhashram.org has an Audio Zone in which Several Hundred Mantras are recorded in the voice of Revered Gurudev Dr. Narayan Dutt Shrimaliji (known in ascetic form as Paramhans Swami Nikhileshwaranandji; The Guru Trimurthi which can also be downloaded to your PC. By listening to the Mantra pronunciation in Sada Guru Dev's divine voice, you will be able to solve your problem. Also available are several audio CDs, audio tapes which can be procured from the website for your sadhana. Please also, read the english translation of 'Shree Guru Paduka-Panchakam and Guru Gita' posted at this . You can chant the 'Shree Guru Paduka- Panchakam and Guru Gita' to successfully attain your goal of lakshmi sadhana. However, if you first get Guru Diksha from Gurudev, which can also be done by sending your photograph to Siddhashram.org, you can receive the true blessings of Bhagwad Pujya Pada Saad Gurudev. We as disciples of Gurudev have our own limits and can help you only by pointing out the right source for enlightenment! Which is our Guru Dev. I am sure you will find this useful. Jai Gurudev! , "farmerfarrar02" <peterfarrar02@h...> wrote: > Hello, > > I understand that the Tantric Lakshimi Bija or beej mantra SHRING > can be pronounced as spelled :- SH as in shine.
