Gayatri Mantra… enunciation for my reference.
Posted by words-n-motion on September 1, 2009
Aum (ॐ) Bhur (भूर्) Bhuvah (भुव:) Swaha (स्व:)
Tat (तत्) Sa-Vi-Tur (सवितुर् ) Va-Re-Ny-Am (वरेण्यं)
Bhar-Go (भर्गो) De-Vas-Ya (देवस्य) Dhi-Ma-Hi (धीमहि)
Dhi-Yo (धीयो ) Yo (यो ) Nah (न: ) Pra-Cho-Da-Yat (प्रचोदयात् )
Learn these words by uttering them aloud. To practise saying the words, listen to the intonations in the chants .
When chanted accurately, breathing should improve.
Ultimately, this should help improve overall respiration.
Now, there are: 24 syllables i.e. 3 lines of eight syllables each…
ॐ भूर्भुव: स्व: तत्सवितुर्वरेण्यं । भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि, धीयो यो न: प्रचोदयात् ।।
