The key word here is vain.

I sincerely doubt we will agree on what constitutes "Vain."

Personally, I see more "vain repetition" in improvisational evangelical/charismatic prayer ("Jesus we just...", "Lord, we just...", "And the Lord told me...", repeat meaninglessly for about 15 minutes. No less vain than my Rosary, which is 80% scripture verse, which repetition I think we both would agree is not in vain.)."

I think we can agree that the chanting of "ohm" by a yoga master is vain repetition.

Feeling a bit sensitive today or are you just in the mood to bash evangelicals?
