I am sorry for maybe so basic question, but I do not have alive teacher to consult.
My question is if this र
reads as "ra", then this रा
, reads as "rā", and if this म
reads as "ma", then this one राम
reads as "rāma", right? NOT as "ram"? I believe that "ram" would be written as रम्
, right?
For instance ॐ राम रामाय स्वाहा
reads as "Om rāma rāmaya svāhā", NOT like "Om ram ramaya svaha", right?
Thank you!
