Someone is asking me at mrdanga.wordpress.com.

Anyone for this?

"Dear Jagannatha Prabhu,
Thank you for the message. Please forward to me when you get the answer, my concern is that with my little knowledge I have noticed that the pranam mantra may need some correction. It has some incorrect composition and some missing letters. In my knowledge I have found the pranam mantra as follow:
Mridanga brahmarupaaya laabanya roso maadhuri,
sahasra-guna samyuktaa mridangaaya namo namah

I hope you will find the correct one. Haribol!

I got this mantra from my siksa guru (I get lessons on a video)

Namo Jagannatha Sutayo
Namo Mridanga Namaha
Labanga Rasa Madhuri
Sahasra Guna Samyuktang
Namo Mridangaya Namo Namaha
Namo Baladevaya Namo Namaha.

Translation:
I offer my respectful obeisances unto the son of Jagannatha Misra (Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu). I offer my obeisances to the mridanga from which sweet and necterean sound emanates. I offer my obeisances again and again to the mridanga which has thousands of good qualities. And I offer my obeisances unto Lord Baladeva who assumes the form of a mridanga to serve Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

Do you mean this Mishra pr.?
