We switched to prayer in the vernacular, around fifty years ago: it was Latin until then. My father came home from a funeral and told us he discovered we had been invoking the 'God of Israel,' all along, after hearing the priest's ardent intonation in English, no less than three times, at the graveside service. Now picture an Arab Christian's predicament with public worship in an Arab state ! Ignorance until then represented bliss. Few were surprised when some of our liturgy was rapidly revised. eric. ------------------------------------------------ From: Ariosto Coelho <ar
A Hindu friend of mine, originally from New Delhi, has requested that I chant some chants in Sanscrit, Hindi or English at his funeral. The local Hindu temple suggested The Bhagavad Gita. Can you please suggest or direct me to a website or persons who can help me fine tune my search. If you are familiar with Funeral Chants, could you please send me the words. I appreciate your help. Dev borem korum. Ariosto
