_Caller:_ If you belong to a specific religious group, is it contradictory to meditate? Does meditation have one specific religion, or can anyone of any religion meditate?

Sri Chinmoy: Meditation far surpasses the barriers of religion. One can follow any religion. Meditation is like a school, and religion is like a house. You can go to a school or college no matter which house you live in. Everybody can meditate, no matter what religion he belongs to or even if he does not belong to any religion.

From:Sri Chinmoy,The inner world and the outer world, Agni Press, 1988
