I had a doubt about the anuswara ! As we know that the anuswara' m ' gets converted to the following vyanjanani group . The doubt is about Sibilants like श ष स and य र ल व ह ? How to pronounce the anuswara 'm' before them ? Please explain! It would be of immense help
प्रप॑द्येऽल॒क्ष्मीर्मे॑ - in this example from Sri Suktham, 3 words are joined. Joining of words in Samskritam is called Sandhi. The 3 words are Prapadye, Alakshmi, Me. When Alakshmi is suffixed after Prapadye, the A is replaced by the S symbol. In sandhi, when a word beginning with A is suffixed, the A is replaced by this symbol. This symbol indicates that there was an A there. See any Veda text in Devanagari script. You will find plenty of examples of this symbol. In all of them, this symbol indicates the beginning of a word starting with A.
@@learnvedasanskrit Namaskarams. Thank you sir. still there is a lingering doubt. What is the difference between telling ALAKSHMI when sandhi is there and telling ALAKSHMI when sandhi is not there? is there any time gap or something?
When sandhi is NOT there, it is just pronounced as 2 separate words. When sandhi is there, the ending-vowel of the first word is prolonged just a little bit while chanting. In this example the YE ending of Prapadye will be prolonged a bit, and Alakshmi will start in continuity with that, without a break. In Vedas, usually, when the first word ends with a vowel, and the 2nd word begins with A, this type of sandhi with the S symbol WILL be there. The BHAVANA or understanding is important too, as explained in the video. We must chant with the awareness that we are referring to ALAKSHMI (poverty / inauspiciousness to be destroyed); or AMRUTAM (immortality, to be bestowed upon us, in the other example).
Thank you so much sir. I was looking for basic understanding of reciting vedic mantras and This video is helpful in learning it.

Anuswara before m will also be pronounced as m. So it will sound like double m.
Anuswara before य ल व pronounced with a nasal sound.
@@learnvedasanskrit and before श स ष ह र ?????
Provide an example from common Krishna Yajur Veda mantras - 1 line each of these
In Sri suktam
If it is alakshmi
then why s symbol is used instead of a.
Kindly explain clearly with extra examples.

Hello sir, to learn vedic chanting is it necessary to learn Sanskrit?
Learning Samskritam, at least basic level, will definitely help
