Eagle I fully understand the concept, and if you read my post I am referring to yoga as exercise, not meditation. Spiritual is completely different that religious in any context, there are many spiritual people who are not religious and vice versa.

A mantra can be whatever you want it to be, and some yogis encourage no mantra at all. _______________________________________________________
