In my classes we chant in sanskrit, gurmukhi and hebrew. I find it interesting that some people are more comfortable chanting sanskrit so it brings up questions such as what is it that is making us feel insecure about certain words and languages. I think for a lot of people it can go back to how they were raised and if they rejected a formal religion that they were brought up in. For me realizing that This universal God/energy was much more what I always felt aligned with brought great relief and was what attracted me to my current teacher. <br />Keep asking...<br />Love and Light,<br />J.janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05107444871611697159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24460612.post-30737213013440549822009-04-22T15:24:00.000-04:002009-04-22T15:24:00.000-04:00G, I really enjoyed reading your guest blog for three reasons. The first is that it wasn't written by Amar. Ha ha! Second, I was happy to get a better understanding of what you are up to with your recent decision to leave NY. Thirdly, I thought it was great to read a friend's blog that relates specifically to my friend and not some random take about a "thing" such as new software or a good book. There's nothing wrong with blogging about those things but they don't interest me as much as my friends lives.<br /><br />I will have to subtract points for not being funny though. :-)Trevorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15621471697773786648noreply@blogger.com
