astakshari mantra for Krsna

[Guest guest]

Hari Om

 

Namaste Jyotishas,

Can you assist with this...

I am looking at a astakshari mantra for Krsna:

Om Klim Hrishikeshaya namah

 

How is Hrishikeshaya pronounced? sounded out?

Let me take a stab at it and if you can correct me, that would be

great...

 

the first part Hrishi sounds like rishi , yet you add the H to it

and it is quickly pronounced so there is just a " flavor " of the H

being heard;

then keshaya - pronounced like kesha' ya NOT keesh' ya?

- so the " e " is more like an " a "

 

So its Hrishi+kesha+ya

 

So - if this is an Astakshari or 8 sylable mantram, it MUST include

OM to make it 8 ????

 

Looking for guidence - well begun is half done!

 

Pranams,
