Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Dear Miss Astro, Though I am against disclosing mantras on web which makes one more confused like the present one, here is a bit of Sanskrit which may be of some help to the curious: This Mantra as described in atharva ShIrsha has three parts: two bIjaksharas + a samhita, which you know already as OM GAM G.. The gaM. gaN.a -> becomes gan.gaN.a according to anunAsika sandhi of sanskrit grammar. So both versions are same! BUT mind you, both have different uses, impacts and pronunciation effects. The bIjAkshara which you wrote as "gum/gun" is the GaNesha VidyA in AtharvaNa described thus: 'ga'kAra(pUrvarUpa) + 'a'kAra(madhyama rUpa) + anusvAra(antya rUpa) + bindu (uttara rUpa) + nAda(sandhAna) + samhitA (sandhi) I am not confusing you but trying to say that it is better to learn it right way for correct results. By the way, I do not prefer women to learn this, as there are so many simple ways of getting the same result. yours KAD , "miss_astro19" <miss_astro19 wrote: > > > > > dear members > what is the correct pronounciation of ganesha mantra > > > om gum ganpataye namah > > or > > om gung ganpataye namah > > > ANN > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
