IN other words, the last "a" is understood even if we don't chant it. I am open for more comments on this as I have no sastra. Srila Prabhupada's tape is what I am basing this on. I hope that this finds you in good health. Your ever well wisher, Jayapataka Swami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
