The Concept of ‘Breaks’ After Looong Vowels

An extract from ‘Perfect Sanskåt Pronunciation for Beginners”
Course taught by Déna-Anukampana Däsa (dinaanu@gmail.com),
author of Çrémad Bhagavad Géta Çlokas Book For Daily Recitation

‘Shot’ Vowels: The Man With 2 Wives

He’s influenced (i.e. modified) by

both his neighbours

C = Consonant; V= Vowel

‘Looong’ Vowels: The Man With Only 1 Wife

He’s influenced (modified)

only by the neighbour before him

C = Consonant; V= Vowel
208
 Çré Vraja Réti Cintämaëi

‘SHOT ’ ‘LOOONG’
In any language, if a
‘looong’ vowel is
SIN SEE/N changed to a ‘shot’
[short] one, the origi-
SHIN SHEE/N nal word cannot be
recognized. There-
fore we must con-
DIN DEA/N sciously stress the
consonant after
WIN WEA/N every ‘shot’ vowel.
Similarly, we must
BEND BA/ND place the stress/
emphasis on the
WHIP WEE/P vowel itself when it’s
a ‘looong’ one. The
mark indicates
EACH EACH where to place the
VOWEL VOWEL stress. (In this book,
LlINKS BREAKS all ‘looong’ vowels
ITS ITS are marked with / .
NEIGHBOURS NEIGHBOURS
An example to illustrate how mis pronouncing a long vowel as a
short one produces the opposite meaning:

yasya prasä /dä /n na gatiù kuto / ‘pi

= By the mercy of my spiritual master, i’ll never go back to God-
head. (yasya=by whose, prasädäd=mercy)

yasya /prasä /dä /n na gatiù kuto / ‘pi

=Without the mercy of my spiritual master, i’ll never go back
to Godhead. (yasya=by whose, aprasäda=without mercy)
