Re: japa
Thanks for the link, EM. And thanks for helping us to explore Sanskrit in a little more depth, Yajvan! What many treasures are taken for granted in these different names and akshara combinations...
Do you, native english speakers know how unnatural the TH sound of THINK is to those who don't speak english? I had to bend my tongue and almost bite it off to speak it properly.
Namaste Pietro,
Yes, it's a tricky little sound for non-native English speakers to get right. But it isn't in English alone. You'll find the "th" sound in Greek and Spanish, and they are much more emphatically pronounced in those languages. Done with enough gusto, it can sound like you're hissing at someone!

Watch your character, it becomes your destiny."
