Re: [FairfieldLife] Gayatri Mantra

[Vaj]

I'm not a Sanskrit scholar but I can tell you I've seen it used both ways.The Devanagari text from Yajur Veda is Bhur in transliteration. In TMO usage it is "Bhu". Suffice to say BOTH are correct and are given in Monier-Williams. On Feb 2, 2006, at 9:59 AM, Peter wrote: Sanskrit scholars! I've got a question for you. In transliterations of the Gayatri mantra I have seen the first word after om phonetically spelled either "Bhur" or "Bhu". Which one is correct?
