The best thing to do then is get someone to chant it correctly, shove it onto
a CD and then listen to that CD.
I can add some Acid Beats to it, and Jungle it up a bit, and then it would
be ready for Generation-X Hindus, who seem to think that its all a bit too much
crap.
At least this way they can gain some benefits.
Anyone interested in such ventures (I'm quite serious) should email me.
Jai Sri Rama
