Guest guest Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 I don¹t have much time to read so I haven¹t read too many of Amma¹s books although I would like to read them all. This summer I spoke with Swamini Krishnamrita Prana, who runs the book store, about the idea of converting all the important books (Awaken Children, etc.) to books on tape. She was a bit skeptical, as she said one book written by some devotee had been recorded, but hadn¹t sold very well. I told her that books on tape were a popular thing, and that I thought the main books would sell very well if they were recorded. What do you all think? Would you buy them? If so, please consider contacting the folks at Mother¹s Books and telling them so: info Amma's Books and Gifts P.O.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Yes! I would buy them. I will not buy cassette tapes. However, I will gladly buy Amma books recorded on CD (OK) or available as MP3 (better). I have a feeling they would sell well if done well and properly advertised to Amma's children. Also, I recommend that MothersBooks consider selling individual bhajan MP3s over the internet (similar to Apple iTunes). The nice thing about selling downloads is the profit margin can be much higher since MA Canter owns the copyrights (more $ for charities). I have a feeling lots of Amma's children would love to purchase and download their favorite bhajans as MP3s.

Surely you've heard of the concept. Maybe you're asking for examples of Amma's books on tape. I don't know of any. Dozens of Swami Paramatmananda's lectures are available on audio tape, though. I'm suggesting that putting Amma's books on tape (especially the Awaken Children series) would be a worthwhile endeavor. I suspect that even a lot of people who already own the books would also buy the tapes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 namah sivaya this is a great idea! in fact, it was the first thing i thought when i saw the original question. since internet is the wave, selling as mp3s is a really great idea. and eventually maybe selling the dvds of mother, too. cause now, there are some services where you can download movies from online! egyirba jaiamma wrote: >Yes!

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 yes, it would be very good. i listen to books on tape/cd in my car driving. what could be better than to have mother's spiritiual food as i go? egyirba Rick Archer wrote: >on 8/5/05 10:22 AM, padmanabhan hariharan at phariharan wrote: >Namashivaya Rick > >Iam hearing this first time, can you tell me where i can able to see some >sample on the web (any book on tape) ? i would like to hear how it was >presented before comment on it.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Namashivaya Rick To make this thing work, you need to talk to AMMA directly and tell her the details and she will direct people to do it. Please try this approach, noneed to contact anyother people. talk to AMMA directly when ever u see Her.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 That will be late November. I don't know if I'll bother her with something like this. But I may bug Swamini Amma (Krishnamrita) again. on 8/6/05 4:49 PM, padmanabhan hariharan at phariharan wrote: > Namashivaya Rick > > To make this thing work, you need to talk to AMMA directly and tell her the > details and she will direct people to do it. > > Please try this approach, noneed to contact anyother people. talk to AMMA > directly when ever u see Her. > > In Amma's Service > Hari > > Rick Archer <rick wrote: > on 8/5/05 10:22 AM, padmanabhan hariharan at phariharan wrote: > >> Namashivaya Rick >> >> Iam hearing this first time, can you tell me where i can able to see some >> sample on the web (any book on tape) ? i would like to hear how it was >> presented before comment on it.
