Guest guest Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Namaskar, my humble salutations to the devotees of Murugan. I am new to the group and I wish to begin daily japa of " om Saravanabhavaya Namah " but I am unsure of the pronounciation of Saravanabhavaya. Can some one please help me to know how to pronounce correctly? thank you very much! matanga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Welcome to the group. Here's how you pronounce it: Om Sa-ra-va-na-bhavaa-ya Na-ma-ha So there are 3 seperate words starting with " Om " . I have tried to spell Words No. 2 & 3 phonetically so that you get as accurate a pronunciation as possible. In word No. 2, the 4th syllable ( " na " ) does not have any equivalent sound in English. Just pronounce lightly, not as the " n " in " NO " . The tongue should lightly touch the roof of your mouth and bounce back. (As a shortcut, ask any Tamil friend about this syllable!)

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 MURUGA SARANAM Hi Matanga.. Just to add on to Patricia's explanation, if you know hindi or any other devnagri script this " na " is same as na in " pranav " or " shravan " . Wish you good time chanting.
