Pronunciation of ऐं ह्रीं श्रीं

[Sandeep Maher]

Esteemed teachers of this group 🙏 

Please let me know if the anuswara for the beeja matras of the Supreme Goddess (ऐं ह्रीं श्रीं) is to be pronounced any differently? I hear the anuswara म्/न् pronounced as ङ् by some eminent personalities. 

Also, please point me to the most reliable source which teaches the correct pronunciation for verses, vedic chants, so forth. 

Regards,

Sandeep H. Maher 

P.S. Couple of references - t.ly/zRVHS and t.ly/XeqXm

There is no न् there. ङ् is wrong.

 

Also, anusvAra is not the same as म् (former lacks reverberation in the mouth cavity, as can be felt by placing a finger on the cheek in case of म्)।

Also, please point me to the most reliable source which teaches the correct pronunciation for verses, vedic chants, so forth. 

Depends on what your standard of correctness is. If correctness = more ancient, it would be more like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZfWu58jQog
