How is Yoga truly pronounced
योग is neither pronounced as Yog योग् nor Yogaa योगा. Both are not Sanskrit words. Yoga or योग has a full ग not a half ग् with a halant slash at the bottom of ग. The "ga" in Yoga is pronounced as the full "gu" (ग) in the English word gut. One of the meanings of ग ga comes from the Sanskrit word गति gati or union with or the path/journey to the self. This can't be correctly represented by the half halant ग् (g) in Yog or the गा (gaa) in Yogaa. So writing it as Yoga in English may sound the closest to the original योग pronunciation if the "ga" is correctly pronounced as "gu" as in gut while reading, instead of writing it as Yog or Yogaa which are both incorrect and non-existent forms of Sanskrit.
