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

"The first and second person pronouns are declined for the most part alike, having by analogy assimilated themselves with one another." [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanskrit_grammar#Personal_Pronouns_and_Determiners]

Hmmmm.... I think i can work with this.
