[Fwd: Books on tape -- technie speak]

[Guest guest]

I think this is a great idea. Everyone's lives are so busy that

listening to talks on the way to

work, lunch, etc would be a real boon.

With my old dial-up ISP with all of its interuptions and rebooting, or

whatever it does

(I am definately not a techie), I used to get pretty blissed put

listening to the talks

on the Amachi website. Several years ago, in the late 90's I think, they

broadcast the

satsangs 3 times a week from the MA Center - Sw. Paratmananda used to

give the

best talks. It was great. These things help us keep in touch.

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,
