Books on tape -- technie speak

[Guest guest]

I COMPLTELY agree with Advait! This child is "plugged in" and would

adore buying Amma's mp3s online -- bhajans AND books. The ashram

should also consider Podcasting some satsangs/discussions. Bliss! I

listen to my mp3 player every day at work, and could definitely use

some mid-day satsang during my lunch hour.

 

I'm sure that there are some techie children out there who could do

this. I think that the ashram already burns the CDs from the tours

themselves. I'm sure it wouldn't take much to convert and upload

them.

 

With love,

Amma's Geeky Child,

Erica
