Namaskar bro you are welcaome.

I agree with you 100%. Baba explicitly stated that we should not add 'o' at the end of any of the words, yet Margiis have ignored that admonition for decades. He was so strict about proper pronunciation, He once stopped guru puja to corect the pronunciation (I heard it on a recording). Why so many ignore what He explicitly stated and persist on singing with the 'o' (or an 'a') at the end of some words is not something I understand.

Bio-Psycho-Spiritual System of Kiirtana An action may be treated as “finality” if it satisfies the following conditions: (1) it has been fully complied with, and (2) the result of the compliance is in hand. [This is “finality”, or “completion”.](1) We repeat siddha mantra (Bábá náma kevalam) to different tunes.(2) What is the [completion] of it? Let us take an example. I cross the threshold, and as a result of it I enter the room. The utterance, internal or external, of the first syllable of a mantra is like crossing the threshold and entering a new world. The proper accomplishment of work after entering the new [world] culminates in a result which gives a feeling of bliss and perfection. This feeling is an embodiment of pleasure. In day-to-day life, we first inhale and then exhale. The mantra is repeated according to the syllabic rhythm of inhalation and exhalation. This act of breathing in the mundane sphere has no end in individual life. Breathing is an action, so a living being is always engaged in some sort of action. This constant effort is known as yatamána. This is the first stage of progress. In the second stage, one wants to rise high with the firm determination to achieve oneʼs goal. And while doing so one is in a position to have control over some or other of his or her mental propensities for some time, but has no control over the other propensities at all. This stage is known as vyatireka. In this stage one achieves concentration for some time and then again loses it. Then comes ekendriya, which is the third stage of progress in sádhaná. This is the stage when one has control over a particular mental propensity, and that control is more lasting. Due to constant repetition, the mantra is sounding in oneʼs ear. While sitting in meditation, a sádhaka can see his or her Iśt́a moving around him or her, and the fragrance of sandalwood or rose comes from the body of the Iśt́a. Sometimes one gets it and sometimes one does not get it. The fourth stage is known as vashiikára. There one is established in the ideation of Parama Puruśa, to satisfy whom one is doing kiirtana. Here one completely surrenders himself or herself before Parama Puruśa, and he or she is under the complete control of Parama Puruśa. So there are four stages - four stages once at the time of inhalation and four stages again at the time of exhalation. So in all there are eight facets, and a siddha mantra must necessarily have eight syllables - it must be aśt́ákśarii,(3) [just as] each and every syllable of an Iśt́a mantra has got its own importance. Bábá náma kevalam is a siddha mantra. When the first syllable bá is uttered, the feeling should be, “I am crossing the threshold and entering the new world;” and when the last syllable ma is uttered, the feeling should be, “I have accomplished my duty.” If the kiirtana is done with these feelings, within two or three minutes the effect will come into play. The whole siddha mantra should be uttered fully in each phrase of the tune - Bábá náma kevalam - and not a part of it - while doing kiirtana.(4) If this is not done, the kiirtana cannot be said to be a perfect kiirtana. Everything must be done in a methodical way. Then you will enjoy and get the [completion] of kiirtana properly. early 1980s Ánanda Vacanámrtam Part 30 Footnotes [1] Sanskrit equivalent of “completion” that was unclear in the typed notes omitted here. -Trans. [2] *When Bábá náma kevalam is sung to a tune, an extra vowel is sometimes added to kevalam for the sake of the tune - kevalama.* With this addition the mantra has eight syllables, a point that will be discussed below. Perhaps it is for this reason that the mantra is aśt́ákśarii -Trans. [3] Eight-syllabled. -Trans. [4] Some people understand this to mean that Bábá and náma and kevalam must all occur in each musical phrase and only in that order. Others, however, would say only that there should be at least one complete Bábá náma kevalam in each phrase, such that, for example, a musical phrase with Bábá náma Bábá náma Bábá náma kevalam would contribute to a "perfect kiirtana", whereas a musical phrase with only Bábá náma Bábá náma Bábá náma would not. -Trans.

Baba nama kevalama is an astaksarii mantra, meaning it has 8 syllables. The "m" at the end can be pronounced as "m" or "ma" and still retain it's astaksarii stance.

When we sing a o e i are used to joining words otherwise we lose rhythm. When we sing Ma all the air exhaled. So to start the next word we need to breathe in before we can sing at this point we lose tempo. So we add o in the end or e to join the next word. That's some sing kevalamo and some kevalame

@@anandaadidevi2339 Baba said that we should sing Baba nam Kevalam correctly. But He didn't say not allowed to sing Baba nam(o) kevalam(o/a). He even expressed "very good" when those disciples singing kiirtan as above mode. Yes, we should try to sing it correctly but we shouldn't blame the people singing Baba nam(o) kevalam(o/a) as they are in highly devotional flow.
