Namaste all,

I've come across a few mantras, but they are in Sanskrit, I presume. I am wondering what they translate to, and what the pronunciations are. No indication is given. It's hard enough to be learning to pronounce properly when the right (i.e. closest) transliteration is given. But when there's no indication of pronunciation, you could probably wind up with a completely different meaning.

Here they are:

SADAH BHAVANI DAHINE
SAMUKU RET GANESH
PANCH DEV RAKSHA KARE
BRAHMA VISHNU MAHESH

~~~

TUMEVE MATA CHE PITA TUMEVE
TUMEVE BANDHU CHE SAKA TUMEVEH
TUMEVE VIDDHYA DEVANAM TUMEVE
TUMEVE SARVAM MAM DEV DEVAH
TRAHE MAN TRAHE MAN TRAHE MAN

~~~

Asato Ma Sat Gamaya
Tamaso Ma Jyotir Gamaya
Mrityor Mamritam Gamaya
(I know that is the Lead me from ignorance to truth mantra, but Im not sure of the pronunciation).

Om Purnamadah Purnamidam
Purnat Purnamudachyate
Purnasya Purnamadaya
Purnameva Vashishyate

~~~

OM GAJANANAN BHUT GANADI SEVATAN
KAPITTHI JAMBU FAL CHARU BHAKSHANAM
UMASUTAM SHOK VINASHAKARAKAN
NAMAMI VIDNESHWAR PAD PANKAJAM

SHUKLAMBAR DHARANDEVAN
SASHIVARNE CHATURBHUJAM
PRASHANNDANAN DYAYET
