He didn't care, he just giggled in enjoyment at my laughing. I told him I had to miss another Sadhana and I would be at Day 1 (For the 3rd time)again- just the thought seemed deliciously hysterically funny? I am losing my grip!

Chanting can be of mantras or songs, or verses or mystic formulas; such as, Gregorian Chants, Aboriginal Chants, Kabalistic Chants in Hebrew,etc.
Kirtan is a devotional chant. Kirtan consists of a leader who sings a chant and then it is repeated by followers. Many traditions use Kirtan, and is part of Bhakti Yoga.
