Hello Christy
I struggled with this, as the subject comes up frequently. I explain that our chants are devotional practice and that one can direct them to any god(s), guru, higher power, buddha, allah, christ or any other spiritual guide we might have. If we believe in the concept of energy, time and space, than all these beings are still with us in the form of energy and sending our "prayers" (which is what our chants are) into the universe to reach this energy can only be good for us.
Hope this makes sense and helps you.Sat NamEleonora

Sat Nam all........
I do have Christian students who love chanting and everything about KY, however I find myself a little tripped up in explaining chanting to other people who seem skeptical about whether it is "okay" or compatible with their religion.
I'm just looking for some simple ways of explaining and opening the door to make those people feel very comfortable in joining a class.
Thank you!
