a letter has arrived to our mrdanga site

Hare Krishna. PAMHO. Thanks for your efforts in mridanga teaching site. I saw there the mridanga pranam mantra. I can share with you corrected version of this mantra. Once our ISKCON sanskrit scholar and Prabhupada book`s editor Gopiparana dhana prabhu visited our temple in Latvia, Riga. I showed this mantra to him. And he told that this mantra has few grammatical mistakes, some mistakes in endings. Before I had it like you have. So he corrected everything and then mantra looked the following. Now it sounds even correct from metrical and poetical point of view (he pronounced it for me and now I remember it`s accents in pronunciation). May be you can use it`s corrected version in your web site?

Namo jagannatha sutaya
Namo mrdanga lavanaya
Rasa madhuri sahasra guna samyuktaya
Namo mrdangaya namo namaha ("h" - here is with dot under, "a" - is short)
Namo baladevaya namo namaha
