Sanskrit Voice

yogabear Posted 2010-06-20 2:51 PM (#123603) Subject: Sanskrit Voice Regular Posts: 86 Location: Jacksonville, Florida Does anyone understand sanskrit grammar enough to help me with changing something? I have a problem with the opening chant in Ashtanga. As a teacher, I feel like I should know the chant, but my spiritual conviction precludes me from bowing down or venerating anything or anyone, or even saying that I will. I am uncomfortable substituting "Ha-Shem" for guru or Pantajali because it doesn't make any sense. And there is a particular time Jews bow. Anyway, can someone please tell me how to change "Vande = I venerate/worship/adore" to "You (plural) venerate/etc."? There is also the "Pranamami = I bow". How would you say "You (plural) bow? Thank you in advance! Reece yogabear Posted 2010-06-20 4:39 PM (#123605 - in reply to #123603) Subject: Re: Sanskrit Voice Regular Posts: 86 Location: Jacksonville, Florida Cancel that order! Check this out: "The first and second person pronouns are declined for the most part alike, having by analogy assimilated themselves with one another."
