I am from Malaysia. I am unable to chant some of the mantras with proper intonation. Will I still get the benefit of chanting the mantra if my tongue does not cooperate?"
Yes, don't worry. Even listening is good enough. You don't need to chant. Even in India, not everybody chants in the same way. You go to Bengal, the pronunciation is very different. You go to the South, the pronunciation is different. You go to Orissa, even English sounds very different. In the world, it is like that. Even in one language, people speak different dialects in different parts of the world. That's how nature has made this planet.
I heard that the Chinese they speak in North China is different from what they speak in Taiwan and what they speak in Malaysia. So, dialects are there, but the main thing is the feeling.
