Re: Beginner pronunciation.
hariḥ oṁ
~~~~~~
namasté
take the simple sound / phoneme of na. We have :
na as in not or nut
ña as in singe
ṇa as in none
ṅa as in sing or sink
Now we get to gaṇeśa - note the slight difference in the ṇa sound... some pass this up completely as just sound it as 'na'.
We will leave the śa for another post as this sound tends to raise too many different views of its sound quality.
Hence the finer sound quality of his name.
praṇām
यतस्त्वं शिवसमोऽसि
yatastvaṁ śivasamo'si
because you are identical with śiva
