I love this mantra. I made a beautiful crystal Mala three years ago and I use it for my Gayatri practise. The gayatri is a Mantra I have practised in many lifetimes. X
I am confident of my pronunciation. I have explained very clearly about naha. I repeat... When the : follows the vowel sound at the end of a Sanskrit consonant, it echos the vowel sound. यो नः <(yonaha) Note, that : is after the nah sound written in Sanskrit...I do not know who you learned from but...yona and yonaha are both correct...I have just checked with the Brahmin again...
Pundit Ram Shiromani Tripathiji says this (nah and naha) are in fact both right.
I have chanted this mantra with many pundits. All agree that I am pronouncing the mantra correctly. I have lived in a Vedic Ashram for 20 going on 21 years. check nect post to continue message
im sorry miss but i agree with yogumy im a yoga teacher and i think that even if youve been many years with gayatri you dont pronounce it right just one observation when you first recite you say nah but then you say naha and thats wrong another observation is that bhur should be like bjur and dhiyo and dhemahi should be with strong h
I have been with the Gayarti Mantra for well over two decades.
I have spoken with many Pundits here in Northern India and feel confident that what I am offering is true. That is very important to me.
There are many Indian teachers as are there Western teachers that are totally incompetent. Being Indian does not a Great Teacher make...although in my view, there are many wonderful Indian and Western Teachers that give their lives to the student in the truest sense.
In Sanskrit there is an a that follows (the natural vowel) sound of a consonant. Such as, in Sanskrit 'yoga' is not spelled with an a
at the end. It is spelled 'yog' and every
consonant has an inherent vowel sound at the end which is spoken softly. YOGa
When the : follows the vowel sound at the end of a Sanskrit consonant, it echos the vowel sound. यो नः <(yonaha) Note, that : is after the n ah sound written in Sanskrit. It is right to echo it, though many Pundits do not.

This is only before a pause. In this case the visarga is before a p-sound. So the visarga of nah (नः ) is a so-called upadhmaniyam. Take care that यो is accented (udaatta), so नः is svarita (circumflex accent). This is only the case if the following syllable is un-accented. Like pra (प्र )in this case.
this is wrong is not naha is a short and dry nah.i suggest people not to learn mantras from western people and listen to competent indian gurus like sai baba or paramahamsa satyananda.

THE MEANING OF THIS MANTRA IS: O God, The Giver of Life, Remover of pains and sorrows, Bestower of happiness, and creator of the universe; Thou art most luminous, pure and adorable; We meditate on Thee; May thou inspire and guide our intellect in the right directions.
