How to say it

Graam has a hard g as in "grab", held long. Greem rhymes with "green". Graum is gr plus "ow" plus m. Gurave is goo-ra-vay, ending on a clear vay.

All nine side by side on the navagraha beej mantras in English page. Which one your own chart is asking for depends on which graha is under pressure in it, so generate a free kundali and ask Acharya on the chart itself. Free, and in your own language.
