I have always been curious to how people pronounce Kirupa’s name. Do people say it like Ki-roo-pa (with the long sounding u?) or Ki-rup-a (as in my made up word rupples?)

maybe Kirupa if you are out there, you can set it straight 🙂

It’s on the About Kirupa page… I believe it to be pronounced ‘Kee-ru-pah’. 🙂

lol… no… but I don’t even know how to write it down in English. I don’t think there’s a sound in English for this.
