You know the chanting of a mantra is quite important. Slight changes in tone, tempo or enunciation can dramatically change a mantra. It is important to chant as specifically stated in the Vedic texts and traditions of India.
hari om . you are correct.In north India they chant in hteir own style . they never carethic .
ReplyDeleteAs I have seen it is in south India only proper chanting is done
Chanting holy names has no such problem. If a devotee says Krushna or Krishta, as pronounced in some dialects, Krishna knows He is being addressed.
ReplyDeleteOk, I am not going to pick on you, but have you ever given any consideration that the word 'Hare' for example, if the 'ha' is pronounced as a guttural, which is how it was originally written in Sanskrit as far as recorded in written form, and the 're' pronounced in the proper location within the mouth might enhance the vibration of the mantra and its additional healing benefits as related to the chakras, nadi's and other benefits. As the original writings of the mahamantra you follow speak of it destroying the Kala and avarana, which would imply that the sound vibration does have a role in this process.
ReplyDeleteIn every word pronounced the vibration plays an important role. The pitch, the tone , vibration should synchronise to get the best effect of the mantras
ReplyDeleteHoly names are chanted for Krishna's pleasure, not as a mechanical tool for our spiritual realization. I agree though that we should care about pronunciation, but the mood of chanting is the most important.
ReplyDeleteWith ordinary mantras though, you're right. Correct pronunciation is vital.
Yes, but Vedic chanting follows very different rules, as does other sampradayas.
ReplyDeleteIn fact Sanskrit itself follows very specific rules, and all of the oldest mantras were originally heard in some variation of Sanskrit.
ReplyDeleteBecause of this only even today the Sanskrit language is still alive despite it is not cared all along
ReplyDeleteSanskrit mantras are a tonic for body, mind and soul.
ReplyDeleteIt is an elixer
