Bija Mantras / Devanagri Script

[Guest guest]

Namaste Sri DDji,

 

Its been a long time since I last looked properly at Devanagri

script ) It will take some time for me to really sink the teeth

into it again. Shall try but no promises yet..... Need a bit of

time; brain is rather deadbeat at the moment and can't think or see

properly Please bear with me, thanx!

 

Om Namah Shivaya

With Respects,

Simone
