Hi,

I am very much confused in Mantra recitation/ Japa.

The Navarn Mantra - ॐ ऐं ह्रीं क्लीं चामुण्डायै विच्चे | How the Anuswara is pronounced here ? are these pronounced as -
ऐं - Aim or Aing
ह्रीं - Hreem or Hreeng ?
क्लीं - Kleem or Kleeng ?

The same goes with Mahamrityunjay Mantra - ॐ त्र्यम्बकं य्यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्द्धनं | ऊर्वारुक् मिवबन्धनान् मृत्योर्मुक्षीय मामृतात् |

Is it - त्र्यम्बकं - Tryambakam  or Tryambakan ?

I would be highly obliged to know correct pronunciations.

Thanks,
Alankar Sharma

The correct pronunciation of the navarna mantra is, 

ऐं - Aim 
ह्रीं - Hreem 
क्लीं - Kleem.
Give little pause between each letter. But, the japa should be manasic. 

similarly,  for maha mrutunjay mantra, it should be tryambakam not tryambakan. Because, tryambakam is noun and yajamahe is verb. So, here guna sandhi won't come. 

Bhavateeya, 

Rama narayanan.
