vedamoorthyks Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 You should visit any Hindu temple, if any, in your locality and seek the help of the priest in that temple. He will guide you properlly in uttering each word correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pankaja_Dasa Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 i think thats a prayer to Durga? 'Maa'. She is being the energy of Krishna, (shakti). But Krishna being the (shaktiman) we go directly to the source. Of cource to difference between them both, though the sourse of the power is Krishna. It is something to understand carefully over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pankaja_Dasa Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 The example I can give is you can pick up your mouse in your Pc with your hand (that is your shakti). But the Shaktiman is actually you. So in the same way very easy to understand Durga and Krishna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramkish42 Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 i think thats a prayer to Durga? 'Maa'. She is being the energy of Krishna, (shakti).

It is something to understand carefully over time. That was not a prayer for Durga but saying about nature of soul Sloka says Soul is not asat (changable) but sat (unchangable) Soul is not tamas (darkness) but jyoti (illumination) soul is not perishable but eternal Jai shree krishna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murali_Mohan_das Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 This one's on Ravi Shankar's "Chants of India" (produced by George Harison). Amazon has it (but I can't post URL's yet, 'cause I'm too new to the forum). Just Google "Ravi Shankar Chants of India". But the sound clip doesn't include the actual chanting. I couldn't find the album on iTunes Music Store, unfortunately. Gaura Hari!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murali_Mohan_das Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Ah! But, if you go to the iTunes Music Store and search for "asato ma", there should be three results. If you preview the 49 second version by Gopa Bose, you can hear almost the whole mantra. Govinda!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raga Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 asato mā sad gamaya, tamaso mā jyotir gamaya, mṛityor māmṛitaṁ gamaya | "Of the unreal not, for going to the real. Of the darkness not, for coming to to the divine light. Of the death not, for going to the immortality." These three open a sacrifice, chanted by the sacrificial priest.

Murali_Mohan_das Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Can you give me the link to iTunes Music Store? Hare Krishna Chant and Be Happy:pray: Well, to use iTunes Music Store (iTMS), you need to install iTunes from Apple. It's a free download available at: w w w . apple.com/itunes/ (I still haven't gotten to 15 posts on this group, so I can't give you an actual link) Once you have iTunes installed, it should be pretty obvious once you're running it how to get to the music store. Dayal Nitai!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
