Thank you for this great resource. Good work.

These tips will help you remember the seed letters if you forget them:

ga - focus on the hook like the hook of a G

ra - focus on the bottom half like a sideways R

la - focus on the bottom left part like a curved sideways L

va - focus on the loop like a rounded sideways V that has been closed

ha - H is obvious here

I don't understand something.. Rama is written the same way as Ram in Om Ram Ram...shouldn't there be a halant under the letter M in Ram???

[keiichicom]

@RudraNightmare I am guessing, but I believe that the intent was not to put "Rama" in the mantra but the chakra seed sound "Ram" twice.

If "Rama" was in the mantra it would be "Om Ram Ramaya..." instead (source Internet).

@keiichicom But only name Raama can be stronger than thousand names od Vishnu, becouse Rama ana Krsna are names of The Supreme Lord, lord of many Vishnus. So...

I suppose one could pronounce the words from the lesson, but then there must be definitions and perhaps some grammar?
