Greetings,

Good point Mila. On that religious note: Saint Paul wrote, "He who speaks in tongues edifies himself...I would like every one of you to speak in tongues" (1 Corinthians 14:4,5).

While this may appear to be tolerant, if you spoke in tongues around the Puritans, they would have hung you from the nearest tree. Sanskrit is not exactly speaking in tongues, but try to explain that to the intolerant. Sanskrit is overdone in the presence of students. How do you know which one is bothered by it?
