wow! thanks so much, Magne and Mr. Kstavish... this is an amazing revelation
to me!

i've been using OM as my main mantra for for almost 30 years... although my
old pronunciation has served me well, i've just tried this new one and it
adds a whole new dimension and power to the sound... i'm definitely
converting...

warmly,

percyval

( ps: Mr. K, i'm just kidding about your name... i know your name is really
Mark Stavish... but whenever i look at your handle, it makes me think "Mr.
Kstavish"... so i couldn't resist... ;-)
